Raven Gets a Life

I was going to a film festival to see American Scary and they played this before the movie, and the DVD they were playing it on messed up so the very beginning was cut off, but it was a great flick! It had a very surreal style to it, and is a great very different way of looking at vampires... It had a sort of offbeat, different style to it, it is very hard to explain...

I would have to say if you want to understand what I mean you would HAVE to see it, it is a very good movie and to understand it you really do have to see it and decide for yourself, but it is really awesome! I recommend it to anyone who likes Tim Burton-ish movies that are in a way, dark, offbeat, or just very strange and odd.

Young Amber Burke-McDonald does a very believable job of portraying Raven - a 150-year-old vampire trapped in the body of a 12-year-old in this atmospheric, loving tribute to the classic vampire genre.

Anyone familiar with Tod Browing's 1931 Dracula starring Bela Lugosi will surely be as endeared to this film as I was. With it's feel-good ending and a zinger of a moral, this film is guaranteed to leave the viewer with warm fuzzies - blood-warm fuzzies, that is.

10 stars for the movie concept. Another 10 stars for the acting and finally 10 more stars for the creative and innovative soundtrack.

Kudos to you, Devi Snively. Very well-done! Leaves me hungry for more. Hopefully a sequel is in the works?
