The family entanglements gave this a different angle than your typical vampire film. I also liked the choice of using marionette effects and trippy eyes. For jaded vampire lovers, some may find this version refreshing. Who can’t relate to having a blood sucking relative? :-)

Overall, though, I enjoyed this more for it’s uniqueness than it’s structure. 3/5

One of these reimaginings that I really did like was “Under The Skin”, with Scarlett Johansson. It’s a very slow burn and surreal take on, “What if vampires were not from this world?”

FYI: Many people strongly disliked the lack of dialogue and slow pace in “Under The Skin”. It also has bizarre surreal scenes surrounding the entrapment of its prey. On the other hand, I found it a great midnight movie with a little “mother’s helper”. So be warned, it’s nearly all pure experience with nearly no narration.
