I'm always up for a vampire film and this one looks good. Thanks :)

Finally watched it tonight.
It was good, but not as good as I thought it would be. I didn't like the ending that much. Seems like a bitch move to leave his mother especially, so he will either realize what he did too late, or be manipulated by Eli to murder people for her. I'm sure the latter will occur, although he seemed to feel horrible after witnessing some murders (look at me, speaking like they are real people)

Oh, and the book is much better with exploring Eli's past and explaining that she was born a he. The whole "become me" part with Oskar was supposed to show a flashback with a pig being castrated (I guess to represent Eli) but the director couldn't go through with it. I'm sure a lot of people missed that whole thing for that reason.
- I saw the movie and really liked it alot. just read the book though and there is a lot more to digest there.(as usual)theredmasque

I saw this the other week too. Thought it was a very good film - acting for superb, some really touching moments.
I thought the actual themes and arcs seems a bit unclear at times.
I can see how this film was largely a study on rites of passage / puberty / transformation to adulthood. I suppose, in this respect, there were similarities with Pan's Labyrinth, but I think that PL was more successful because the focus of that film was clearer.
I kind of hoped for something a bit more heavy weight - and (to me) it felt that the film was skating a fine line between box-office and indie-flick. The absurdity of some scenes seemed designed to provide 'action' above necessary plot advancement - and I think that was a shame.
Sounds like I'm being a bit down on the film - I did think it was great .. I was just a hoping for a bit more.

Saw it earlier tonight. What a great movie, amazing young actors, great directing and photography. Too tired to write anything meaningful but this is a very highly recommended film. Go see it.

- emukid0
those who haven't watched the movie, please skip my post...
so in the book, eli isn't even a girl. in the movie they hint on this very quickly but never really gave answers.
- uh... what about the quick shot of "it"? Went by way to fast for me really see what it was, but it definitely wasn't a girl part =)turnerworks

I've never understood the fascination with Vampires. The whole concept of it seems so childish to me. Sharp teeth.. sucking blood to stay alive.. wtf? I'd rather watch a Psych thriller.
- how dare you?Ruffian
- the movie is nothing like a regular vampire movie. it is perhaps the only vampire movie i've ever liked.emukid
- also, don't knock it till you watch it.emukid
- I agree but people seem to think this is good.Jnr_Madison
- I want watch it tho.Jnr_Madison
- I fucking hate kids.Jnr_Madison
- guess i'll have to see for myself then.Antonelli
- it's okay. there are lots of little boys in this movie in their underwear. you will like it.emukid
- kids... how useless are those little shits.Antonelli
- by "you" obviously i meant jnremukid
- There are a few good vampire-related shows and films out there. Give them a chance.juhls
