This one rather caught me by surprise. The UK DVD packaging giving a much more coy picture than that here and the text referencing the Twilight films led me to expect a low key teenage vampire flick, which is probably why i have delayed watching it for so long. I certainly didn't expect lengthy , brutal and scary torture scenes, otherwise I probably wouldn't have watched it at all. Still, its done now, and I really enjoyed it, well I still found the most severe torture bits hard to watch but they are tinged with a black humour. Did that make them easier? Not a lot. Well crafted, good looking film with the tough, uncompromising and terrifying violence that reminded me of Wolf Creek in its intensity. The performances are great and particularly the very creepy killing couple. Could all this have been avoided if she had slept with daddy? We shall never know but what a scary and highly original portrayal of a demented couple they are.
