This film.. was different.. had some funny parts in it and the story ran smoothly but was just a very strange film...i would say its worth a watch but it isnt a film i would watch again..
Good but very familiar

Interesting enough little film - perfectly safe for pre-teens but has enough in it to keep adults interested and amused too.
If, like me, you've had a long-standing interest in the vampire/horror genres, you'll spend half this film noticing nods to previous work. Two very obvious references are 'My Best Friend's A Vampire' (with Robert Sean Leonard) and the Alice Cooper graphic Novel 'The Last Temptation'. I'm rather looking forward to what they do with the rest of the series.
