Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With soft box office and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Great for anyone who likes their romance with a bite and anyone with a complicated family (so, everyone). Vampire lore, given its own spin. Family ties get tested in ways that ring true.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Tense from early on, at 1 hr 31 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
  • Made in 1972: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you scare easily or watch alone at night.

Vampire Caleb Croft has awakened from his unholy slumber -- with an insatiable lust for blood and the pleasures of the flesh.
