I loved the film and thought the violence and blood was so tremendously effective because you have to wait for it. The characters are fully established before anything gets gory.
The spare, minimalist setting of the apartment complex adds to the dour tone and the age of the children is everything to this tale. They are at the cusp of puberty. Lost somewhere between innocence and experience which is where the supernatural lives and breathes. And the performances are fantastic. A fantastic film about a vampire and a youngster that doesn't involve baseball or high school.
