A great little movie for open-minded vampire fans and kids
3 August 2016
Warning: Spoilers
If you are an open-minded vampire fan (like me) or a teenager you will surely love this great little movie! A vampire (man) falls in love with and marries a human woman and they have two daughters (born in Romania and moved to Germany). These are half-vampires. One, however, would rather be a full-vampire, the other one rather entirely human. With the help of the owner of a magical shop (perfectly cast with Richy Mueller, the rest of the cast is superbly chosen and convincing as well, e.g. Christiane Paul and Stipe Erceg as parents) they try to change their condition which sets some developments in motion that lead to the winning of diverse new friends (the story is perfectly used to bring up the topics of tolerance here as well) and the coming to terms with oneself and the family. In addition there are cute "pets" and the obligatory (dumb, but entertaining) vampire hunter. Being a vampire fan I especially enjoyed the flashbacks to the vampire times in Romania, but the entire movie is a fun ride, original, witty, well-acted, well-produced (it is a little film after all), entertaining, having great messages and thrilling until the end. And fortunately, there is not only one sequel (equally nice) but two (so far) - fingers crossed for more! By the way: I had not read the book and I did enjoy the movie anyway!
