A random collection of thoughts and reviews from my experiences at the Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) and beyond.
I am not a serious film critic/historian/theoretician, etc. Can't recall the name of actors, directors, or even titles after a while. I just find spending a few weeks to a month watching international film back to back a deeply relaxing experience.
A rare treat which will probably make my top 10 for this festival. A young boy with internal rage at being tormented at school makes friends with a new girl at his apartment complex. Who turns out is a vampire. This coming of age story blended with a revenge fantasy, vampire horror flick is both scary and sweet.
It totally worked for me as the film yo-yo's your emotions between rooting for the young boy and his friend vs. being aghast agast at what they're actually doing. Not for the super squeemish but it's not especially a gore fest and far more interesting than your average horror film. Hopefully goes without saying - NOT FOR KIDS. Good messy fun...
