a simple story of childhood friendship. this film tells the story of a boy with no friends who gets beat up at school, as he befriends a neighbor girl who seems a bit unusual. a premise we have seen before, but there is one big difference: the girl is a vampire! yikes, that sure changes things, huh? the two kids do a fantastic job of creating believable characters, the boy is kind of sad and withdrawn, when he meets the girl he sees that she is the same way, not exactly realizing that there is a reason for that! the movie is slower paced, allowing the audience an opportunity to get to know the characters and their situations well. i feel that this movie would benefit a lot from knowing as little as possible about it. in fact, my telling you its a vampire movie kind of ruins what could be a really interesting reveil. i figure i would just go ahead and tell you about the vampire part anyway since it was all over the marketing, posters, interviews, etc. so they certainly did not try to keep it a secret. too bad because i would have enjoyed it more if i didnt know what to expect.
