This low-budget horror film from Argentina got a beautiful heart & quite an interesting idea at the core of it which was, in my opinion, so promising that it even could be a decent follow up for the modern classic Let the Right One In (2008)! But unfortunately it suffers for its inconsistent pacing, tone and amateurish production values. It lacks on cinematic approach, at times even felt like a weekly TV movie. Though personally I'm very much fond of low budget miracles but sadly to say this is one of those cases where I think the story really could have been benefited from a better budget, director and a cleverly written tighter script. I'm not saying that it deserves a big budget American or European remake but its conceptual intention to breaking down the conventional vampire mythology & does something else as well as at the same time dealing with so many great ideas like what it means to be young forever, child abuse, coming of age issues (and of course the overall set up) were intriguing enough to made me think that how much awesome it would be if the whole thing or at least the concept was to get treated by Guillermo Del Toro (The Devil's Backbone) or J.A. Bayona (The Orphanage).

Despite its negative aspects I still loved it & like to recommend it here. It's a flawed but beautiful film.
