For a girl movie, it was solid, and I will probably see the next movies in the series. Some of you were way too negative about it.

I took the time to read one of the books in the series. Eh. It wasn't garbage, per se, but it lacked the edge that I have come to expect from the vampire mythos. My daughter brought the movie home from her mother's house, so I will likely sit down and watch it sometime in the next day or so.

If you want some insane vampire novels, replete with horror and gore both, I would strongly recommend the Necroscope series by Brian Lumley. There are 13 or 14 books in the series now, and they are absolutely mind-blowing. These vampires are not romantic... they are nasty, aggressive killing machines.
