I just watched the American version of this film and I have to say it was a hell of a lot better than the original. The original was extremely boring. So boring in fact, my brain started to go numb. Thank god for Matt Reeves and his crew. I'm not going to go into major detail with this review but it allowed for the audience to use their imagination and also included key points to help understand the relationship between the boy and the vampire. Even though this movie was not horribly gory, it had its moments. The characters were built up enough to allow the audience to be able to understand the main characters. I am 37 and I was brought back to when I was 12 and the emotions that are felt at that time let alone dealing with the fact you feel your in love with an immortal.
I give this a 3 out of 5. I enjoyed the film.
