I enjoyed this film. The commentary on colonization and fighting back against "supremacy," was nicely constructed. What I like about this film is the medium in which they recreated a "classic," story. The monsters themselves did not strike fear into me but I actually got invested in the kids creating an action packed plan to rid their homes of these dangerous monsters. I have discovered that I don't enjoy many vampire films and this is no exception. It is a bit of a classic movie that has brought itself to modern times. Overall, It's a fun time!
