From a man
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
This is a review from a man who was raised on traditional Vampire films like Nosferatu, Dracula,
Bram Stoker's Dracula and so on. I would first like to point out that Vampires, in traditional lore
burn slightly, burst into flames and even explode while in direct sunlight. This is not the case in
the world of Twilight. The Vampires' flesh, sparkle in this world, and the reason they don't go in
direct sunlight is so people won't be able to tell they're Vampires, as opposed to certain death.
This, at first, upset me just as it did most everyone I know. However, upon watching this film
at the behest of my better half, I saw the film for what it was. This isn't someone's attempt to
mock or kill the traditional "rules" of Vampire myth. This isn't someone's attempt to recreate the
genre with her own "rules" for all others to follow. It was however, someone's attempt to bring
the Vampire into a modern era. A Neo-vampire if you will. Yes, new "rules" for the Vampire
species to live by, but done so in a way that makes it fresh, different and even a little exciting.
The story is also one of romance, true love and doing whatever it takes to protect the ones that
you hold dear to your heart. The story itself is beautiful. It's a modern day "Beauty and the Beast"
in a way. I for one, after allowing myself to be unbiased, enjoyed the film very much, and in fact
me and my Wife watched it again the very next night. I do not recommend this DVD to anyone
who takes the Vampire genre too seriously, those who are unwilling to let the Vampire genre
change, even if it's temporary, or those who are unwilling to let themselves enjoy something
GOOD, just because it's different. I do recommend this movie to anyone who wants to see the
traditional Vampire myth, going the same direction, but taking a different road. Hopefully you
guys understand what I just said. Sometimes my figures of speech go the wrong way.
