The acting left much to be desired, the special effects were dark and artsy (which was the theme of the movie and made sense), and the vampires were at least not shimmery and all happy shiny people... thank goodness.
My feeling is that vampires have been so dumbed down and made to be adorable for today's teenage girls, that true vampire stories are being lost and not being made available b/c of the ridiculous recent trend of happy-shiny vampires. Vampires are NOT adorable or sweet. They are dark, moody, undead and desire human blood to live... love is an after thought.
But, one thing I will give this movie... I loved the score. The music was beautiful, dark, Gothic and erotic.
