I strongly believe that what was intended here is innovative. This is not your everyday vampire movie, but just because the plot-twist is anything but exciting or mind-blowing.
I can tell that they tried to accomplish some sort of artistic photography, which resulted in the best factor of this film. However, the story is flat, boring and its photography just can't carry the whole film; in fact, it reminded me a lot of Neon Demon and rather interested me into rewatching that movie, which I could definitely say is not among my favorites.

For Taiwan product, this totally a bad one. For the past 10 TV movies I had watched, this one is the worst. Horror or sci fic Taiwan has some good ones but this one just poorly produced. I can tell it targets to sell internationally, but just fail.
It was slow and boring. Never gets anywhere. We gave it over half the time and finally shut it off. Could've been cool, but they just dragged out a seriously boring story.
This film essentially involves five young adults who happen to be exceeding rich and extremely bored discussing ways to change their situation. With that in mind, one particular woman by the name of "Anastasia" (Anna Marchenko) comes up with an idea and they all head out into a remote part of the country to commune with nature. At least, that is what she initially planned as later that night they are met by a shaman who performs some type of ritual and then after inhaling some smokey substance they all drift into a deep sleep and start having vivid dreams. When they wake up they notice that the shaman is dead from apparent bite marks on his neck and that they all have suddenly grown sharp fangs. Needless to say, this terrifies them and they quickly head back to the city to discuss this sudden turn of affairs with one in particular named "Alexander" (Yen Tsao) wanting to fully embrace his vampiric self-with all that that entails. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that I just happened to stumble upon a review of this film by a prolific writer on IMDb and even though his critique was less than enthusiastic I thought I would check it out for myself. After all, the poster and the overall story looked quite interesting and I wanted to see if there was something he might have missed. Well, it turns out his overall assessment was correct for the most part as this film happened to be both long and incredibly boring. It did have some good points, however, as the camera work was exceedingly good and Aviss Zhong (as "Lulu") was not only remarkably attractive but fit the part quite well too. Even so, the film itself never seemed to really go anywhere. Likewise, the ending was totally botched and I was left with more questions than answers. Having said that, while I don't consider this movie to be terribly bad, it clearly didn't realize its potential and I have rated it accordingly.
Vampirism has always been a moral parable about the wealthy, and sometimes the old (i.e. Eternal life) feeding on the poor and the young.
So, to recap, this is a painfully obvious, lame "social experiment" about a bunch of bored narcissists and sociopaths with more money than sense to see how far they'll degrade into violence and cruelty if they imagine they're vampires.
What is new about this? Aside from the global cast (three Asian people and two Europeans) and the 21st century backdrop this is the same old story rehashed for a new generation. In fact, it's worse than that, because it's just so obvious unless you're a kid or slow on the uptake.
