5/10
Krysten Ritter is drop dead gorgeous

Malcolm McDowell is totally wasted. He's by fair the most talented actor in the movie and he does nothing. They waste screen time with Sigourney Weaver just phones it in as usual. One of the most overrated actresses of all time. Really she did Alien and Ghostbusters. Good movies but like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman she too has ridden the coattails of that work for so long she needs a new coat. Krysten Ritter I could watch all day long. Alicia Silverstone is perfectly cast and pulls off the role perfectly. She gives the movie it's heart and is what makes it a heartwarming movie worthy of watching. It tackles aging really well as her story unfolds towards the end of the movie. It's one of the things that always gets me about Vampire movies, they never address the reality of living forever. The loneliness, the seeing times change. It happens in most peoples lives, you get to 50 and you can remember a completely different world. So much of what Alicia Silverstones' character was talking about I live everyday. New technology, new things like Twitter which is for twits ofc. 2007s iPhone marked the end of the world, well another end, it always pushes a new domino over towards the endgame of enslaving humanity. Zombies looking at screens all day. Overall an enjoyable film even if you don't like Vampire movies, which lets face it who actually does anyway? Vampires, like Zombies are ultimately very boring. That's why they invent stories around said creatures which really don't rely on there even being Vampires to begin with.

Also, when they kill that head Vampire they also just killed every other of her downstream Vampires. Way to go right?! I mean that's pretty selfish. They claim not to drink human blood, which they could anyway at a blood bank, so it's stupid to begin with. Then they turn around and commit the murder of thousands of Vampires for selfish reasons. Oh I don't want to live anymore, well them walk out into the sun or cut your head off. Problem solved right. And the other one wants to have a baby, which somehow is born a vampire and makes no sense. IF in this movie, a vampire gets pregnant, that pregnancy ends in a week. If she reverts back to human then that child if it somehow now gets born, isn't going to be a vampire. Tie up your loose ends movie maker!!! I sentence you to sloppy writing jail.
