difficult to watch but Fluke delivers the performance of his lifetime!
I think we can all agree that this film is unsettling (to watch) and messed up in so many ways.
Whether you will like it or not, depends on your taste.
It is a vampire story that avoids all the clichees and has an interesting ending.
What I really would like to highlight is Fluke's performance. In many ways, he reminded me of Anthony Perkins in Psycho. Both have seemingly an innocent aura to them, but are deranged and killers underneath. It's just that Wine in this film is looking for love and will do anything - and I mean ANYTHING - to keep this love.
Fluke, who mainly played cute, sweet and innocent characters so far, takes his image, plays with it and in the end completely destroys it. His acting is FANTASTIC to the point that it makes you uncomfortable, in the best way. And to imagine how young he was in this one, he is a really talented actor!
Because of this and some interesting ideas, I give this film a 6/10. I had to switch it off at some point because I really would like to keep Fluke in my imagination as sweet and innocent. Also, it is not really well filmed and by that, I mean the lighting and some really awkward and uncomfortable sex scenes (but I guess, that was intended).
(I posted this review on IMDb, too, so no, it is not copied.)
