This movie is fantastic plain and simple. Any horror and action fan would agree. The casting of Brad Dourif was perfect. I don't know who could have played a better evil doer and the character Mathias is one that Brad was destined to play. His voice is just chilling. The casting of newcomer Jordan Matthews was spot on. Not only does the guy have a menacing look, but the fight scenes are brilliant, bloody, and epic. The delivery is tantamount. If i could ever be in a movie or a lead in a film this would be it. I was initially put off the idea of the movie as i have heard an awful lot of comparisons to Twilight and have read a lot of hype about that specifically, but this is so distinctly different. The only comparison is the romance between the two leads, which isn't nearly as stressed, nor is it as interesting as the battles scenes. The last fight scene between Jacob and Mathias is sick and cool. The only problem is I wished it lasted longer. I want to see this on the big screen because I fear that I will be at a serious loss if it only comes down to watching the DVD....which I have now watched 3 times in succession, ever since my visit to my cousin's home in London. My own personal opinion is that a movie should suspend disbelief, capture the imagination which this does in spades. it is truly a film that you can lose a couple of hours watching and at the end feel like you have spent a worthwhile couple of hours. I would recommend this to anybody.
I know there are fans of this film, but is not my case. Even when I saw FX directly from Videocopilot tutorials for AE that I could make much better than the film, there is no storyline in this movie. I found it very bored and some characters don't have any personality. I think that director/writer Brian A. Metcalf needs some lessons of how to make a sci-fi movie like a pro and not like an amateur project of college, full of shaking, bad movement displacement, bad lightning and so on.
Another bad point of this movie is that a lot of explanations are missed. Come on!! Mr. Director, my imagination doesn't work as yours!. Maybe such answers are still flying in his head.
Nonsense ending with guess what BAD ACTORS TOO!!. Thomas Ian Nicholas .. American Pie times are over... so as you are . I wish you better luck in your next film.

"My best friend just died, you come out of nowhere, and those things..." Fourteen years after the death of his wife and daughter Michael (Nichols) is forced to revisit the past. When his niece finds a necklace she is attacked and saved by a strange man named Jacob. Soon after, mysteries and secrets are revealed. This is a movie that is for hardcore fans of vampire/demon/zombie type movies. I say that because in order to be able to make it through you have to be fascinated by this type of genre. The acting is horrendous and so distracting that I found it very very difficult to make it through. This is too serious to be a comedy, but not enough to be taken seriously. I was not impressed by this at all, but again, for fans of this type of movie you may like this. Overall, this was almost impossible for me to make it through, but I have never really been all that into this type of movie. I give it a D.
An Oscar should be given ... to whoever can sit through this movie.
Seriously, some of the worst acting I have ever seen. I do not know how this movie could have been worse, the sound and scene editing was off and the story was 1) not backed up, 2) ruined by the distractingly bad acting, and 3) made worse by the thought of attempting to make you care about the actors.
I've seen over 1300 movies, this one makes me wish I was blind. Do not even attempt to give it a chance.
I'll put it plainly, if you were going to make a drinking game out of the amount of "OMG this is horrible" moments ... you would be wasted at the 20 minute mark.

I was duped into watching this film by some of the good reviews I read. They are false. I was expecting a 'made for cable' 2nd rate quality movie. This thing is 4th rate. The Pro's are that it is in English and does not require subtitles. The background music is tolerable. The credits were displayed in an attractive font. The actors appear to know their lines, and the crew members do not walk into the scenes.
Aside from that, this film is about as bad as you can get without being so bad that it is funny in an ironic way.
Don't waste your time. Do not believe any reviews over 2 stars. I wish I knew of something equally bad to compare it to, but I cannot remember the last time I saw something this bad.
