Maybe like me you saw this trailer and thought, "What is this... like Neil LaBute's vampire movie?"

Yeah, that's what this is. Says some stuff on misogyny he has said before and better. Has its moments and Bosworth is great.

But honestly, it's exactly what anyone who heard "Neil LaBute one setting vampire film" would expect and not a drop more.

A bit like seeing Justin Long's character from Barbarian slowly pulled into a trap by the Daughters of Dracula, chamber piece style.
