Review Quotes

"This vampire story feels totally unique, yet it deals with familiar aspects, as seen in The Lost Boys and the visuals of Bram Stoker's Dracula. The very concept of vampires who hunt via yacht in summer destinations is fascinating, and when paired with the surreal, it leaves you with a lingering feeling."--AIPT
