This one's the real thing in adolescent bloodsucking.
Both effectively eerie and emotionally honest, this breath of fresh air to the dusty vampire genre is exceptionally well-made, from the beautiful photography and intelligent direction up to the flawless acting and the screenplay's ingenious re-imagining of vampire movie conventions.
Nothing's telegraphed for the lowest common denominator, everything's subtly and tastefully handled, even the outbursts of violence.
So much could've gone wrong with this sort of story, but the makers carefully avoided all missteps and offer us one of the best genre movies in ages, culminating in a perfect final scene.
8 out of 10 blood-brothers
