Review
The movie starts painfully slowly, like a kind of poor man's
"Rebel Without A Cause"; lots of macho strutting,
little action. I thought this was going to be just one more
"kewl teen movie" - and let's face it, there's enough
of them to keep us going for a while.
I'd almost got to the point of giving up, when the action accellerated,
and the humour kicked in. From that point, it was one great
movie; funny, fast, and still had a story to tell.
The special effects are good, and not over the top, the acting
is OK (sorry, I have an allergy to the Sutherlands, specially
in vampire pics). And once the movie got going, the directing
and editing are tip top.
I thoroughly recommend this original and intelligent movie;
see it!
