Initially I thought this would be a horror film, and indeed there are some creepy, atmospheric scenes to suggest so. but this is in fact more of a drama, with liberal doses of romance and even some (black) comedy. The staples of vampire films are almost completely missing, or underplayed. I was pleasantly surprised by the change of pace and the off-beat approach. The story isn't always convincing, but it keeps up the interest. Also, the production values are excellent (quite obvious, despite the bad print I was watching). If you don't go in expecting a horror film, you will probably enjoy it. That is, if you can find this rare title...
