      What does a vampire's assistant do?

      The title of this film does not match the story of the movie at all. The so-called "Vampire's Assistant" should be a guy who does errands for vampires, rather than a "perverted" road for young people outside of normal life.

      It is estimated that this film is not easy to be released in China. The whole film promotes a completely deviant road. It seems to leave his family and become a weird person who does not know if he will be alive the next day, which has become a lot of young people...

      Looks like the vampire movie is over.

      Just like a zombie movie, from the horror movie "Zombie Out of the Cage", it gradually evolved into a romance movie, and finally developed into a comedy movie "Zombie Land", which announced the complete end of a theme.
      It seems that vampire films have also come to an end, and the genre has developed into a romance-comedy transition stage. In fact, the "twilight" of vampires has already been seen in "Twilight", and this "Vampire Assistant" is even more boring and does not take on the...

      There will always be a movie that makes you fall asleep with fantasy

      When I was a child, I always liked to read a long novel about a robot cat before going to bed. After reading it, I felt excited and felt that I had a wonderful journey with them, and then I went to sleep with this wonderful mood satisfied. When I grow up, I get farther and farther away from books, so the entertainment before bed becomes watching movies. I still remember that the last movie that excited me was Stardust. After waiting for a long time, I occasionally found this movie on verycd. I...

      If blood can express the good and evil of man

      Good student Deren became a vampire's assistant by accident because he likes spiders, and his good friend Steve, because he has no kind blood, eventually degenerates into a vampire. The difference between the two factions is whether they kill people when they suck blood. The ones who don't kill people are vampires, more gentlemen, and the other ones are brutal. There should be a sequel to the movie, because so many strange people have not made their debut.
      What I find interesting is that...

      The movie? It's still quite different from the original...


        I remember that the first novel I bought was Vampire. Now when I see the movie version, I immediately think of the novel I read many years ago. I am very excited, but the abbreviated version of the movie is really another version. The feeling of Darren Shan when watching the film. It is full of dramatic effects.. In short, I don't feel scary... And the image of the werewolf, such a big belly. Light looks like a big monkey from the outside. And when Darren just entered When he went to his...

      It is the apocalypse, and the two people who are close are going to become enemies, but it is not a battle between heaven and hell, but a vampire and a vampire. The protagonist looks a little warm, but it is more pleasing to the eye than "Tenniu Wufang" (Er =! =), the monkey girl really looks a bit like a monkey... Since this is the first film in the series, it is probably to explain the background, Raise an event. The wonderful should be in the...

    Movie quotes

    • [first lines]

      Darren Shan: [narrating] You know, sometimes it seems like life is all planned out. There's no choice in the matter. We're all gonna end up in the same place, whether we like it or not. But sometimes things aren't so simple. You can end up hurting the people you love the most; betraying the people you want to come through for.

    • Rebecca: Darren, being human's not about what you are. It's about who you are.

    • Darren Shan: Hey, can I ask you something? Can I kiss you?

      Rebecca: Darren, I let you drink my blood. Sure, you can kiss me.
