My quick rating - 4,8/10. I wanted to like this one, I really did. It has a nice idea for it, a vampire needing blood and always falling in love with his victims, whom he lures off a suicicde website. THe description makes it seem like he is a blood hungry killer but in the movie he is far from that. Much more of a drama about how he tries to just blend in and survive which leads up to a "pretty stupid for a vampire" moment ending. Still this just plods along and really didn't do enough with the idea that it had. As I said, not too familiar with his work previously but he has all the skills, that is for sure, just not the story. Not this time at least.
