    Such a special movie to me. It's so poignant, lonely, and sentimental. The characters and their chemistry are powerful. The symbolism of vampirism as a means for love has never been executed so well (sorry, Twilight).

I stand by my opinion that this is a great Valentine's Day movie, just an overall movie I recommend to anyone.

Every word that came out of Hossain Sabzian’s mouth felt like it was lifted straight from a book, he talked in a way that was…

    I wish I took a Xanax at the start of this just like she did so I could black out and not remember watching this. Bodies x 3 wishes it was this? NO! THIS wishes it was Bodies x 3. Not a single normal human acting person in this. Trauma DUMP on a normal dinner conversation. I was in YOU! you were in me? Shelby is that one friend thats too woke. Did I mention no normal human being acts…
