Title: good old fashioned (blood curdling) fun
Review: Yes, it's a bit predictable. Yes, it was a showcase for teen-idol-cute-boy type stars. Having said that, it's really a great movie. Typical teen angst scenarios (my folks split up, I'm the new guy in town, I'm trying to impress the pretty girl who is more interested in the bad buys than me)are given a macabre twist with the revelation that the bad boys -- along with the pretty girl -- are "lousy bloodsuckers!" (movie quote, edited.)K. Sutherland does a fantastic job as the lead bad guy (with a momentary lapse with a tear for what he is...)Jason Patric is a troubled Jim Morrison doppleganger, and the two Corys are, honestly, hysterical as they try to save Santa Clara. The cinematography on some of the end scenes is really excellent. Is it a deep, thought provoking, heart wrenching film of love and loss? No. If you want that, go get Titanic. This is pure fun, with a bloody twist. Enjoy!
