It’s unconventional approach doesn’t work here

Very disappointing if you've read the books. This movie was adapted in such a comedic way and left out so many of the deeper plot points

Doesn’t fully succeed in the horror genre or the comedy genre but kinda just becomes stale somewhere in the middle. Reilly is great though.

A fair version of the 1st book in this series by Darren Shan. I tried carrying on with reading more of them but kind of got fed up though!
