It's about a seemingly ordinary family with a dark secret: they are vampires. Despite their natural desires, they choose not to drink blood, but one day the truth is revealed. It's about a seemingly ordinary family with a dark secret: they are vampires. Despite their natural desires, they choose not to drink blood, but one day the truth is revealed.Kelly Macdonald is strong as Helen Radley. Bo Bragason is also strong as Clara Radley. Damian Lewis and the rest of the cast are quite vague and lack any real presence. The casting is a big mistake.The story is about a vampire family that no longer drinks human blood. The problem is that there is no plot. It's more like a few days in the life of a boring vampire family. We stagger from scene to scene without anything really happening. There are always scenes where people just look at each other or stare at the wall. Nothing happens and we are not given any feeling. People just stand or sit there and do nothing for seconds. Other than Helen and Clara, none of the characters really have any personality. Perhaps one of the worst characters I've seen in a long time is the pseudo-hippie vampire boss Will, also played by Damian Lewis. The character isn't very well thought out and Lewis' second-rate acting skills can't do anything to the character. So we have mostly bad actors, a bad cast, a bad script and amateurish videography and direction. Then we're told that it's not just a horror film, but also a comedy. I just finished watching it and honestly can't remember anything remotely funny happening during the entire screening. It's almost amusing how bad the film is, maybe that's what they mean? Ultimately, the film has no point. It has no point. It's nothing more than a silly documentary about a couple of boring middle-class vampires going about their daily lives in a boring way. It's really boring to watch, and when the end came and a long, meaningless speech came to an end, I said, "Finally, thank God, this is over." I give it a B, and I think that's generous.
