Overview

Rose, a rebellious half-vampire/half-human guardian-in-training and her best friend, Lissa—a mortal, royal vampire Princess - have been on the run when they are captured and returned to St. Vladamirs Academy, the very place where they believe their lives may be in most jeopardy. Rose will sacrifice everything to protect Lissa from those who intend to exploit her from within the Academy walls and the Strigoi (immortal, evil vampires) who hunt her kind from outside its sanctuary.

Viewing Notes

Hmm more like a TV pilot than a movie. Not at all cinematic and looks like a TV show. Also the story lends itself towards that. I get that it’s based on the book and wants to be like Harry Potter for vampires but it takes more high school drama and a few action beats. Not a bad movie just feels uninspired and tired. Will probably play better at home. Just feels to CW-ish.
