Typical Vampire Movie I Had High Hopes For
18 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I thought this was going to be a little bit better than the usual vampire movies, but it's the same old drivel. Why is it that most of the vampire movies follow the same old formula of a centuries old or decades old experienced vampire getting taken out by some vampire hunter or a newbie vampire? Come on now? You're going to tell me that all of a sudden the vampires Louise, Charlotte and Nora who have been killing humans without a second thought are now going to get sloppy and sentimental. Okay, I can understand Charlotte feeling wistful and nostalgic because she was once a mother, but I'm not buying that from the other vampires. I mean Louise should know better, she's centuries old and well Nora is just a straight up psycho who lacks self control. The writer made these vampires super flaky!

What's with Louise's obsession with Lena? Her eyes? Well, that could have been explained better. A scene could have been added to show Louise in the past with her Lena look-a-like. Also, why is Tom the hotshot young cop interested in Lena? When they have a little chat on the bridge Lena looks like a nasty guttersnipe. Karoline Herfurth who plays the character of Lena is pretty cute in real life, it just seems the buddying relationship between Tom and Lena is really forced. Why would he be interested in a grungy druggy with zero personality?

Nice shots of Berlin, high fashion and expensive cars can't save this tired flick.
