There's only one decent actor in this movie and that's the woman who played Lupe. She could at least deliver her lines with some conviction. The rest of the troup are pretty lame, especially the lead (who is definitely not the standard Hollywood starlet type).
The direction is bad. Too much time cutting back and forth between shots. Lupe in the car with the guy delivering the diary is one example - a shot of Lupe in the mirror, then the guy, then Lupe in the mirror again, then the guy, over and over. Several sequences like that.
(Spoiler) Knife the guy just because he's sexist? Come on! The lesbian clay modelling scene was ridiculously long and gratuitous. Yes, the lesbian aspect probably draws in some more teenage boys but 5 minutes spent on this did nothing to advance the film.
(Spoiler) Overall I quit watching after everyone turned into vampires which was totally irrational anyway. Rent this when you can get it for a buck, don't spend more than that.
Oh, I notice that a lot of people put in comments like "the negative comments must be from people who auditioned and didn't get the part" or some ilk like that...I could just as well say the 10-star positive comments were written by cast or crew members. Stick to your own opinions and don't worry about others.
Once again - this movie sucketh!
