Don't listen to the negative reviews
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
View MoreGo in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.
View MoreIt's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
View MoreIn this terse indie effort by Peter Pontikis, Vera (Jenny Lampa) and Vanja (Ruth Vega Fernandez) are two sisters in a Swedish city who share a secret; they are vampires, although far from the kind we've become accustomed to in this age of "Twilight" and "True Blood." We do not find out much about them but are plunged straight into the story--on an evening when Vanja has promised to reveal a major life decision to Vera, a biker gang leader tries to molest Vera in a nightclub toilet and she kills him, sucking his blood. The sisters must run and try to stay one step ahead of the vengeful bikers, until a fateful confrontation.Everything about the story is brief and understated. These vampires do not appear to be undead, have no super-powers--not even fangs--and are as vulnerable as anyone else. The fact that they live on human blood seems to be the only real difference between them and ordinary mortals, but that simply emphasizes HOW different that one thing makes them.The locations are all real due to the low budget; rain, wind, etc., are all real and give this film a very immediate impact. The story leaves behind a simple, poignant feeling. Look out for an appearance by David Dencik, familiar from "Forbrydelsen," both "Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" movies, and "Those Who Kill." The acting from both principals is excellent, and I give it a 9 only because of a few scripting decisions I don't agree with artistically. Still, one of the best films I've seen in a few years.
View MoreYounger Sister Vera (Jenny Lampa) needs her sister Vanja (Ruth Vega Fernandez) to remain close. They are the ultimate outsiders, they are Vampire. They don't have any special powers and they don't even have fangs just a knife to make a cut and create a fountain to refresh. Vanja longs to live among the normals and has made plans to run off with a human man she has met. All this seems impossible now as Vera has taken the life of a motorcycle gang member and would be rapist. Now they are being chased through the dark streets as they each confront their own being. It is all nothingness, Vanja complains inside a movie theater before they must have a final standoff with the remainder of the motorcycle gang...only one will survive.The acting is OK, especially Jenny Lampa who takes control of every scene she is in. Ms. Fernandez is brooding and shy in her method she never seems to take control of the character. There is no professional qualities to the film making process and the look is more home movie than polished product. There should have been a more claustrophobic atmosphere to show the desperation of the sisters and the climate of their relationship. The ending is not there and there is no resolve to the film; none at all. I didn't hate it, I liked looking at Jenny Lampa's face and lips and the way she used her eyes. I give it 4 out of 10 because it is an early try and with a little effort they might have something there.
