Rufus

"Rufus" left me with a sense of conflicted emotions. On one hand, there were elements that I found intriguing and engaging. Yet, on the other, the film seemed to fall short in fully delivering a satisfying narrative. The storyline, while promising, felt rushed and left me craving more depth.

The dichotomy of my feelings towards the movie mirrors the conflicting themes within it. The potential for a captivating story was evident, but it felt like essential aspects were hurriedly glossed over. There were moments that caught my attention and piqued my curiosity, yet they often fizzled out before reaching their full potential.

While "Rufus" did manage to capture a part of my interest, I couldn't shake the sensation that crucial components were missing. The pacing seemed to struggle, hindering the characters' development and the overall plot progression. As a viewer, I yearned for a more immersive experience, a deeper dive into the intricacies of the story.

In the end, "Rufus" is a film that leaves me conflicted. It's as if the creators had a promising canvas but lacked the time or commitment to paint a complete masterpiece. Despite its flaws, there's a part of me that recognizes the effort and potential, hoping that perhaps future endeavors will bring this untapped potential to fruition.

This movie does borrow from other movies including "Twilight" and "Let the Right One In," and even the stage musical, "Bat Boy," but it stands on its own feet well enough because of its strong direction and acting. It does move slowly, but it's not boring at all. The characters all have secrets which are slowly revealed as the mystery of who and what Rufus is slowly unfolds. The actor who plays Rufus is talented and makes interesting choices, so he really is the glue that holds this film together.

...without the emo songs. It sounded like they were trying to sell a soundtrack. They were too distracting and took me right out of the movie.

From the first scene until the last Rufus 'aka' Hunted is actually a really good movie. I wasn't sure what to expect as the Vampire genre has literally been bled to death, however this film does a great job of keeping your attention all the way through. The acting was spot on, and so was the story line. The music score wasn't too shabby either. The end of the movie was awesome as well. Just when you think it's going to move one way, it turns out to go in a direction you wouldn't expect.

Don't take my word for it though. Do yourself a favor, watch it for yourself. I'm glad I did, and it would be great to see more movies like this one from these very talented creators in the future. They nailed it with this one.

Great movie!! But what is the correct title of this movie and year it was made??
