Immortally Yours (2009)

These actors could and should have done better

[4/10 · 6 February 2011]

This isn't the worst vampire movie I've ever seen, I've seen much, much worse. However, given the cast I was expecting more of the acting but perhaps some of that fault must lie in the hands of the director. The story itself seems spotty, problem with the script or the editing, I can't say, but it seems to be both a case of too many subplots -- vampire romance, vampire rivalries, murder investigation, secret society, and mismatched human lovers. The subordinate vampires in a strange little coven that has odd "living" habits, know far too much compared to their leader. Thus mismatch if knowledge is only added to by a mismatch of language and behavior that varies most gravely in the character of Alex, the vampire leader. At least the horror of vampire attacks is a nice change from a string of angst ridden, romantic subtle killings that seem to be pervading our movies and television show. While I have no problem with romance and even humanity in vampires, I think we should never forget that they are, first and foremost, monsters.
