Nightcomer

What this one has going for it: Atmosphere. An interesting premise. The attempt to take you inside the world of a tormented soul with seemingly no escape - but with that faint glimmer of hope that keeps her going into the next night.

What it has working against it: A paper thin budget, sound and lighting issues galore, and a story in the hands of an uninspired novice. You quickly accept its not going to be a cinematic masterpiece, but you hope the story will build to a place it never gets to.

Nightcomer comes off as a rookie production from a collegiate film class, which is unfortunate because it does have one more thing going for it. Mackenzie is a terrific actress - when she has solid meat to work with and be inspired by - but her talent is wasted here. At the time of this writing she hasnt acted in a few years, and maybe has stepped away from it altogether. I suspect that may be a blessing to her life personally, but I've always found her work to be a step above most young actresses of her generation.

Oh, I did like the feel of the musical score during the end credits. Beyond that, not much memorable here. I'd love to see Mackenzie again with a strong script in the hands of a talented director. I believe she would knock it out of the park.

Quite unusual and mesmerizing vampire tale, that break with traditions. Mackenzie Rosman delivers an amazing performance as the main character, vampire Rowena. This is a vampire flick with good story and it is well executed, I find it very enjoyable and rewatchable, it deserves to be much better known than it is. It reminds me a little about Abel Ferrara's The Addiction.

Corny. A young, pretty girl; who is too tough. Because she's a... dare we say it? A... oh, shall we utter the word? No.
