Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a lukewarm 43% audience score and a box office loss, 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 vampire fans and anyone with a best friend they'd call at 3am. Vampire lore, given its own spin. Liked The Purple Rose of Cairo or Death Becomes Her? This is a good next one. The friendships are the beating heart of it.
The mood
Scary, romantic.
The pace
Tense from early on, at 1 hr 33 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.
  • Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

The modern-day story focuses on two beautiful young vampires who are living the good nightlife in New York until love enters the picture and each has to make a choice that will jeopardize their immortality.
