Good flick. Modern take on the Breaking out of small town life film but with a vampire twist.
The intent of the script is ambiguous, which makes it refreshing. Initially it feels like eye-rolling feminist and anti-religious propaganda. We've seen it all before and it's tiring, no one cares. But the movie does something interesting where it humanizes the male and female lead, casts them both in a grey area, and makes the audience accept that they both have faults and they're both wrong about many things. I'm so conditioned to "man bad" and "God bad" because "woman good" these days that it's nice to have a movie that just shows me humans and lets me decide. Both leads are great and likeable characters (love Babs always), the acting is good, nice practical effects, and plenty of messy scenes. The constant tonal shifts were a bit jarring. Worth a watch!
love her and her work definitely worth watching
i liked it although it did slightly digress into comedy.
Not that exciting
