This was an insanely beautiful film, from the cinematography to the sound, it was an all encompassing thriller told from a unique and interesting perspective. The story of a young boy, bullied and teased by everyone else, befriends and falls in love with the new girl next door. She is like him in so many ways, an outcast and a loner, and their relationship takes off. They are both confronted by huge problems they must face, but both begin to rely on each other for providing something they have both been missing in their lives. It is a vampire flick unlike any I have ever seen, and it is this odd take on a classic and somewhat overplayed theme that makes me love this film.
One of my favorite aspects is the humanistic qualities they portray the vampire as having. She is depicted to be very powerful and strong willed while conveying a sense of vulnerability. She is worn with age and feels remorse and pain when she must kill to eat, leaving you to feel sorry for an otherwise terrifying and disturbing creature. I loved everything about this movie, and it was written so well. There is relatively little dialogue, and each word that has been written was done so with the utmost care and caution. You can tell that a limitless amount of time went into creating the script for this piece. This was a great piece of horror film, and contributes alot to the genre.
