Predictable mix of family drama and vampire movie, directed by a filmmaker with a certain reputation within the genre, especially after the critic successes of Session 9 and The Machinist, but who in this case doesn't dare to take his own rationalization of the vampire myth too far. Although the plot successfully intertwines themes such as the emotional strain of motherhood, vampirism and the effects of a terminal illness. Unfortunately, the film lacks the necessary tension to generate fear. But at least it has Michelle Monaghan as a courageous mother who rarely hesitates to make the most delicate decisions as a real added value.
