Not sure why so much negativity is being heaped on this film. After LET THE RIGHT ONE IN, this has to be one of the most compelling takes on the Vampire genre I've seen in some time. A lot of positives here: namely my emotional response to these femme fatales. Slick sparkly production value doesn't hurt a pretty solid script. Ending was abrupt but I was hooked from beginning to end.
