Yeah, so. There was plenty of promise and potential, but little substance in-between the exploding vampires. It gets one star for vampires, another one for making them explode, one star for vampire Sam Neill (who’s maybe taking the whole “red meat we’re meant to eat it” thing a bit far…), one star for being made in Australia, and two more stars for being about vampires that drink blood and don’t make mix-tapes and go on dinner dates (or whatever the fuck the vampires in twilight do). That’s six stars, which is pretty good. But. You then lose a couple of stars for letting Australians make it (in Australia, with Australian actors putting on accents — except when they forgot they were meant to be putting on an accent…), and another for the lame ending, and another half-star because I want to and it kind of deserved it.
