Good story and cast. It's not like other movies it's completely different story of a Vampire and an artist.
I've had this on my watch list for sometime and was surprised Not the violent type that is typical of vampire movies. Did not end like I thought it would and that's the only thing I found disappointing in the film. I would of made a different choice if I was that artist in that predicament.
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.

Excellent movie! Touching, moving, romantic...I could go on with adjective after adjective. If you like unique quality movies in the Vampire Genre, that is skewed to Romance rather than violence, but with a great story behind it, then you will love this movie. The lead lady, although her spoken word is unlearned, her facial acting was spot on, and that is what is needed for this movie. And the leading man, well, he is great at capturing a Tortured artist. Not every movie has to be full of sex and violence to be good. Even though some reviewers seem to think it's mandatory. Also, the musical score is fitting and beautiful. This will not be everyone's cup of tea but it will move others!
