I'm not going to put a whole lot of effort into explaining why this is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I should have been tipped off by the fact that the outside of the DVD had no positive reviews. I will say that Coppola is far too good to put out a piece of crap like this. Any college kid in a film class could've come up with a better script. This film was too cheesy to be a legit horror film. There was also nothing psychologically thrilling about it. From the delivery of the opening lines, I knew it was going to be bad. The plot was at many times nonsensical, but not in a stylized stream-of-consciousness way, just in a way that shows twists were added for their own sake and for no other reason. The ending, is a prime example. The dream sequences were goofy. The attempts at comic relief (Hall doing vocal impressions to help him write) were dumb and out of place. The scenes involving this daughter that were supposed to be sad weren't. The goth kids were silly stereotypes, and by the way, if there were goth kids in the 1960s, they didn't dress that way. And it felt like the film was written to capitalize on the recent popularity of vampires in pop culture.
