Movie Review: Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person

There are some movies - like Snakes On A Plane - where the title simultaneously tells you the whole plot and compels you to watch it. Similarly, how can you resist something called "Vampire humaniste cherche suicidaire consentant"?

Like the darkest of chocolates, the bitterness only accentuates the tender sweetness of the protagonist. A young female vampire who suffers from what can only be described as Dental Impotence. Her family take drastic steps to help her "come of age", but to no avail. She's too sensitive a soul for something as tawdry as killing.

But is it really murder if the victim is suicidal?

That's it. That's the whole film.

This could have been a "What We Do In The Shadows" farce, or a slapstick teen-comedy. Instead, it is dark and subtle. It creates some beautiful vampire-lore in the background, while keeping the action in the foreground. It is laugh-aloud funny, not too gory, and ramps up the tension perfectly.

You owe it to yourself to see this film.
