CGiii Comment

When will this vampire thing ever end?!?

This is scraping the bottom of the barrel...both technically and artistically.

The writing is a catastrophe...matched only by the acting, here end-eth a few wooden careers.

The editor should have been sacked on the spot...did the producers watch this before it was released?!?

The FX team consisted of a couple of kids on an old computer playing around with a squalid little software package.

Young adults have never been so exploited.

So bad, it hurts.

The(ir) Blurb...

Rose Hathaway is a dhampir, half-vampire and half-human, who is training to be a guardian at St Vladimir's Academy along with many others like her. There are good and bad vampires in their world: Moroi, who co-exist peacefully among the humans and only take blood from donors, and also possess the ability to control one of the four elements - water, earth, fire or air; and Strigoi, blood-sucking, evil vampires who drink to kill. Rose and other dhampir guardians are trained to protect Moroi and kill Strigoi throughout their education. Along with her best friend, Princess Vasilisa Dragomir, a Moroi and the last of her line, with whom she has a nigh unbreakable bond, Rose must run away from St Vladimir's, in order to protect Lissa from those who wish to harm the princess and use her for their own means.
