    Why on earth is this rated 8.1 this is hardly a 4

    This is awful at so many level. How on earth did this get 8.1 rating it is a 4 - 5.

    I started watching it and right from the beginning i was getting the feeling that watching this is gonna be a big mistake and clearly looked like a B-Grade movie but continued just because it is rated as 8.1 at IMDb. This is a colossal waste of time. I would have watched any other movie.

    Not scary , no suspense climax is crap.

    Why on earth will someone waste money on this.

    It was complete waste

    a familiar story

    A vampire named ...Simon Bolivar, his assistent and the succesor , present in a cinema hall, the brocked dream and the revenge. Not great, not memorable but nice game with cliches, seductive references , not so spectacular/ surprising end, many holes and good looking main actor. Good potential but not the most inspired craft.

    Sharp wit and horror make a good combination

    This film is fun. It is a self-aware vampire story. It takes itself seriously while it laughs at itself (and the vampire genre). There is sarcasm and wit. Ever had to deal with an insufferable boss? The Familiar takes that universally relatable experience and dresses it up in vampire lore.

    After reading the one negative review of this film, I decided to put it my own two cents. If you're coming here expecting a film that is reminiscent of Blade or The Lost Boys, or Near Dark, you've come to the wrong place.

    This is a fan vampire lore telling you a story intended to make you laugh, relate, and also poke a bit of fun at the vampire sub genre we love.

    Nice work. Good storytelling. Great sense of humour.
