I was so excited to see this new version of the novel but it ended up being a disappointment.
The boy lead is PERFECT. Meaning, nothing he does goes wrong or IS wrong. He knows everything, he's the best at fighting, an expert escape artist and instant wiz on everything vampire. AND he doesn't fear them at all! Yep....just like every American kid in 1975 I'm sure.
It's pathetic watching people go through the generic motions of what beats a vampire. Making a cross out of tongue pressers is something that apparently works. And you don't even have to believe in the cross. In fact, these people no nothing of God but are somehow able to call on him by quoting the Lord's Prayer and He answers them.
Also, if you ever get bit, here's the cure; A rabies shot with a makeshift cross laying on your chest..... I wish I was joking about that.
Even the iconic scenes from the original film are bungled here.
So disappointing because the look of the film is good. But without the heart...it's a pointless waste of time.
