Why it’s a Weeknight Watch
With 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
- Right up the alley of anyone who likes their romance with a bite and people who like to watch through their fingers. Vampire lore, given its own spin. Shelve it next to Grindhouse.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Keeps the tension tight, at 1 hr 45 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1973: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you scare easily or watch alone at night.
A mute noblewoman's vampiric heritage compels her to drain the life force from all of her lovers.
