Tragic Beauty

I appreciated the simplicity of the story in this movie. That being said, I think it might have been better remembered if it could have added one original idea to the genre. As it is, the movie resembles a remake of The Wolfman for Scandinavians.

I loved the look of the movie--I think it would look incredible in HD. If you were changing channels and saw the snowy settings and heard the cheery music this movie starts out with, you'd think you were watching a Christmas film. It stays there for probably a quarter of the film, too. Then, the female lead becomes the vampire/werewolf creature and starts killing people at night. At first it seems she doesn't remember what she's done, but starts to suspect eventually. She is eventually killed by her own husband, and the movie ends as a tragedy. I loved the setting and the style of the film, and I think I could watch it back just to enjoy the soundtrack. I'm glad I saw it.
