Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
UnderworldRocks I really want to like this film, I really do. But I can't.What's not to like? A vampire film with Scott Speedman! plus a title similar to that of the TV series The Vampire Diaries, and a poster showing the face of a mysterious female vampire and promises of an interesting story.Sadly, this pathetic film is simply not my cup of tea.The acting on Rebecca's part is awful, awful, awful... Her hysterical cries over Lucy's body are laughable... Hahahaha! How come? Because the story is not touching or intriguing at all. If you want the audience to feel the pain and grief the characters feel, you have to set up the stage first by giving us a story that will really make us feel involved and care for those characters. Instead, what the audience get is simply a story of a bunch of female juveniles doing drugs and talking about sex... That's why when Rebecca loses her bestie, Lucy, demanding audience like myself don't give a damn.Scott Speedman! Yes! He's the main reason I was attracted to this film. He did the role Michael Corvin in the Underworld series really well, and I look forward to seeing him return as Michael Corvin in Underworld 5. He does the role Mr. Davies in this film pretty well. His handsome face radiates with emotions...Ernessa was a character well done. Pity, she was taken out too easily. I thought there could be an epic battle somewhere towards the end, but then suddenly Ernessa was burnt and the film was over.Rebecca was an extremely annoying and irritating character, and I just hoped Ernessa could torture this lame girl to death slowly because that is what that awful awful awful Rebecca deserves.When I look at Rebecca's face on the poster, I only feel the sense of repulsion.
harvey-williams7 I watched this thinking it was a spoof of another film but it took itself seriously which made it extremely difficult to watch. It was meant to be a thriller or horror movie but we ended up laughing at the terrible dialogue and hilariously plot and continuity. I have enjoyed the other films by this director but this film was plain dumb and terrible. It is not worth watching at all and I do not recommend it at all. It deserves the 1 star I have given it and if I could rate lower I would. DO NOT WATCH THIS FILM. It deserves it's terrible ratings. Poorly acted and must have been low budget. Characterization changed completely and not in a good way
GL84 Going back to their boarding school for a new semester, a young girl finds that her best friend has fallen under the spell of a seductive newcomer and begins acting strangely under her spell while a rash of murders on campus point out the real truth behind the new student.This was a pretty disappointing and eventually not that worthwhile vampire effort that has precious little going for it. The main factor going against it is the whole drama approach, both in tone and content, as the fact that the film's so slow to get anything going it's barely able to showcase anything because it's got the wrong pace to do that with. While the romance and seduction of the student is nice, it's got the wrong victim as the lead is more damaged than the friend and is therefore more susceptible to the charms and advances, and moreso it doesn't show anything at all despite being set at an all-girls' boarding school as the whole romance takes place off-camera or behind closed doors. The rash of murders are never seen committed or raise anything for the students, and the whole subplot comes off as sloppy. It does have a few good moments, as there's some great imagery in the finale before their finale battle, and the fact that this is one of the cleverest ways to play out a book adaptation without hitting it on the head saying their doing so is pretty clever, but overall this one is just not that worthwhile.Rated R: Graphic Language, Violence, Nudity and drug use.
BigBobFoonman I really, really like short plaid skirts, and that whole English schoolgirl look, but I also liked this movie, tho it seemed a bit muddy at times.Lily Cole looked stunning in this film--very spooky indeed, and she deserved a better speaking part--she should have been allowed more screen time and development. I never understood whether she was a vampire, or a ghost. I never got from the story how she became a vampire. She seemed more of a ghost at the very end, despite her character's standard vamp demise.Sarah Bolger is a beautiful woman, and a pleasure to watch--I actually bought her kiss with the English professor--sometimes crazy passionate things like that just HAPPEN smack in the middle of a wild situation...and who could blame Scott Speedman's hapless professor?--Sarah Bolger was quite gorgeous in that school dress--femininity and sexual heat radiated when she walked into his office, and closed the door.....that seemed to be the money shot, strangely enough.Yes....I liked this movie for all the wrong reasons, but I was entertained thoroughly.
