Vampires take over the world by boring everyone to death.

Rating: 1/10 (1 February 2004)

I usually love vampire flicks but I couldn't wait for this one to end. There was not one original moment in the entire film, the setting (everything is black and it's constantly pouring rain) is obviously supposed to be suitably gothic but is actually laughably cliched, and the costumes and special effects are straight out of "The Matrix". The gaps in the plot made the story very hard to follow in the early stages, but this may have been a decision made in the cutting room to keep the audience from realising that they'd seen it all before. At times it was so bad that it was actually funny and at the screening I went to, the supposedly dramatic climax had the entire audience laughing. Two hours of my life that I'll never get back.
