Excellent Film
26 March 2015 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

This film was exciting, thrilling, and charming. One of my favorites of all time. I love horror movies and thrillers, and hate romantic movies. This film sort of put the two genres together in a perfect ratio. The romance was not over the top (very subtle actually) and the movie had some scary vampire scenes but was not too cheesy. I wish there were more like this one. I also loved that it took place in Iran. The Iranian girl with the cape added mystery and the fact that she listens to new wave punk was so brilliant for both a younger and older crowd of viewers. The soundtrack was amazing regardless of the film. If you liked this film then "let the right one in" (2008) might be another favorite. Cheers!
