Vampires are so in right now.. and I've bought into it.


what an interesting concept for a movie, we're in the year 2019, and 95% of the world is vampires, and there isn't much human blood left, there are companies that farm humans to get their blood. If a vampire goes without blood he starts turning into a Nosferatu lookin vampire, becoming more and more grotesque.

Edward (ethan hawke) is working on a blood substitute so that the world can keep going on, when he stumbles upon some humans who have a cure. His brother, a human farmer, is not happy about it, obviously.

Edward and his new human friends figure out how to replicate the cure and tries to infiltrate the vampire world, the problem with that is that so many Vampires haven't had blood in awhile that they just start attacking everyone... no care about a cure.

I really liked this movie, it's more traditional, vampires can't be in the sun, they feed on humans, and they're huge jerks when they don't feed.. seems like some people I know.

I really liked the futuristic world that they've built to make sure everyone is taken care of, Subway-esqe walkways.

I've always been fascinated by ghost stories but they're hard for me to watch, I usually have to keep my blanket or hoodie covering my eyes for a while to even make it through. I'm not sure why I thought seeing this movie would be a good idea, maybe because it was close to Halloween, or because Julie and I decided it was 4 o'clock in the afternoon and we'd totally be ok... Well no matter how I spin it to myself, this movie was terrifying.

A couple in San Diego starts experiencing weird bumps in the night, the heroic boyfriend decides it would be a great idea to film what happens while they sleep... Although at first the hauntings don't happen to the boyfriend directly, they start evolving more and more into a horrifying situation that he can't ignore, but don't worry he decides to antagonize it. SMART.

Julie and I were clutching onto each other most of the movie, screaming at any chance we got and literally terrified the last 45 minutes.

What a great back story, this movie was filmed for $15,000, on 1 video camera (from the actors POV), and has made millions. Did we mention that there are only 2 actors in the whole movie?

Believe the hype, this movie was scary!


Highly Recommended.
