Immortelle

Not sure about the negative reviews, however, the film wasn't the disaster some are writing about it.

It is a different slant on the Vampire Genre, with more of a: "Tortured Artist, meets Tortured Soul" thing going on.

There was a lot being said without the need for dialog to get in the way of the viewer to use their own imaginations.

I like that approach rather than being spoon fed all the way through a film.

Art, addiction, regret, and perhaps finding love after all?

The actress "Tortured Soul" (Sarah Roemer) nailed the piercing stare aspect of the Vampiress Vivian. Sarah also projected the anguish and longing of her undead character.

(Luke Grimes) did a pretty damned good job of portraying Max, the films "Tortured Artist".

Anyway, I didn't think the film to be too bad, and yes... I would watch it again.

BTW: The painting. What would you have seen? Good topic for a conversation.

Maybe I saw too many vampire movies ? I found this one as cliché as possible. Nightclubs full of lost souls, drugs and alcohol, sex and nihilism... The lead is supposed to be a tortured artist yet behaves more like a moody teenager. The art worl depiction is superficial.

Still, some good points : although unoriginal, the aesthetics are perfect. I also appreciate the ending, that is the choice of both leads with regards to immortality. It suits the theme of the movie.

I give five stars : I would have loved it were I still a teenager. The pacing, the tone, the theme remind me of an Anne Rice - like novel.

The direction and writing are all over the place.

The vampire scenes are the worst. Why would a vampire dress up and a cocktail dress all the time and moving at a snails pace like some foolish runway model? It's embarrassing and corny! The sultriness makes you want to vomit. Secondly....why waste time watching her kill people? She's a vampire...duh we know that. If this was a romance without vampires is it necessary to follow the lead to her job everyday? No?

Great concept poor screenwriting.

Rewrite it and make it REAL!

Wtf with that doctors office??? Geesh!!! Sooo many added scenes that needed to be on editing room floor.

So the idea of this movie might seem good at first. You are a vampire and you want a painter to paint your picture. Why?Well probably because you can't see yourself in the mirror but this is a really thin idea and very under developed. You got people swearing and smoking all the time and people taking drugs. You've got detectives trying to find a vampire murder but we don't care much about anybody in this film because nobody's really interesting. And the nudity is of the uninterested kind ,short,sideways,mostly in the dark like the director had a strong desire not to excite anybody.Still can't understand why movies like this get financed.

No good casting, slow storyline, unfortunately a bit boring
