Drink Slay Love

After reading Sarah Beth Durst books for the last 10 years I've always wanted them to be turned into a movie...but this was not what I expected :( replacing unicorns with falcons first off is one of the best parts of the book! Didn't follow the book even a little bit. Which I'm used to from adaptations but this was a major disappointment. The entire family was unicorns in the book and just simple slayers in the movie. Ugh

Please someone other than lifetime make a movie based on any Sarah Beth Durst book! The queen of blood would beat out Harry Potter and the hunger games if they follow the stories!

It doesnt really follow a story it feels like multiple stories slammed into one. The acting is okay but the story really lacks that shine

Cierra Ramirez sucks and that keeps this flick from sucking. Who wouldn't want to share some ice cream with a gorgeous vampire that is impervious to daylight? Cierra is a welcomed fresh face to an old cliched genre. Her acting carries this film. She is her own event. A perfect 10. She slays. The rest of the crew bites though, ergo the subtraction of 2 stars. I normally would rate a film with so many flaws lower, but I guess the flawless Cierra glamored me. Strange how she kind of reminds me of Jodi Arias, only safer and sweeter. She's well on her way to stratospheric heights in Hollyweird. If she's in it, I'm a-watching!

Pearl (Cierra Ramirez) is a vampire. She likes to sneak out at night and have a snack. After getting captured, she escapes and discovers that she can live in the sunlight. With the Vampire King coming for a feast, she is ordered by her mother to get human victims. She becomes a high school student.

This is a Lifetime movie. It may have been a backdoor pilot that failed. Cierra Ramirez was probably finishing up with The Fosters. It's a bit cheap looking. Vanessa Parise is mostly a TV director and that's what this looks like. As for the story, one would expect more examination into her sunlight immunity. These are not curious characters. The family is too big. High school drama is more important. The Romeo and Juliet aspect could work if it's done better. I don't know if Lifetime has much experience with teen vampire shows. This feels like a hesitant first step to copy other networks.

This was a fun movie and I felt it was true to the book. No complaints overall. Teenage vampire romance movie based on a young adult book. Recommend!
