Verdict: not all that great!!

So with the many, many, many films based around vampires at the minute i was delighted to hear that this one had a slight twist to it. The premise was intriguingly different with it being set in a parallel world where vampires are the majority and losing their food source....humans. However the main plot failed to keep me entertained. The main vampire dude is just trying to be a human and ends up befriending other humans who help him to try and do so. The whole "human farming" thing is barely addressed and also...a majorly bad thing i found was that the vampires weren't that threatening. they weren't faster, or that much stronger.... the only thing that set them apart was that they fed on humans. This i personally thought was a major no no when vampire films at the moment are being so successful! why take away from them their strengths and make them so vulnerable??? If it wasn't for their massive numbers i would not believe them to be able to extinguish the human race. during the last ten minutes there is a bit of a gore fest but unfortuntley it comes far too late in the film to save it from the boring hour or so you have just endured... i thought it was terrible!!!
