11 January 2007
A family constituted by a mother(Dianne West) divorced and sons played by Jason Patric and Corey Haim moves to Santa Clara(California) into house their grandfather(Barnard Hughes).There find a pack of bloodsuckers led by Kiefer Sutherland(24) and underlings Alex Winter(Bill and Tex's extraordinaries adventures),Billy Wirth among others.They turn into vampires at the night and stricken to hungry blood.Then undergo a dental transformation and going on a murderous rampage every time the dark appears.They lure to Patric and he falls in love with a vampire(Jami Gerz).

The picture displays terror,thriller,violence,humor and is quite entertaining.The movie contains great load of action,special effects abundant and numerous scenes have you on edge of your seat.It's beautifully executed with phenomenal production values and ideal cast.Special mention for couple Corey Haim-Corey Feldman playing a ¨Peter Cushing teens¨, pretty famous at the time,both made several films however nowadays they only make B movies.The screenwriter provides a very serviceable and fine-knit screenplay with suspense,tension,horror and some of comedy.It's colorfully filmed by cameraman Michael Chapman and atmospheric music by Thomas Newman.The motion picture is well directed by Joel Schumacher who later will make two mediocre Batman and a successful Phantom of Opera.The flick will like to vampires genre fans and adolescents cinema fans.
