I've just started watching and am about twenty minutes in; how does the vampire groom her brow line, apply her makeup and style her hair if she is unable to view herself in a mirror?

Luke Grimes (Max) and Sarah Roemer (Vivian) deliver an astounding performance. Luke beautifully engages the audience as a troubled soul that embraces his inevitable death after living in his life in excess. Sarah as a vampire with a tormented soul who finally found love. You feel compelled to know more about what made the characters be who they are, and why are were so perfect together. I would watch this movie again, and again.

This entire movie would seem to have the raw elements to have an interesting movie... but the problem is, they only have about 40 minutes of script. Luke Grimes portrays a hedonistic artist living in Manhattan. (think Issac from Heroes) He is the next big thing and acts like it, sleeping with women, doing drugs, drinking and staying out all night. However, he ends up diagnosed with fatal lung cancer. Instead of getting treatment he decides just to be even more hedonistic. All of this should have taken about 10 minutes, but instead takes about 30 to unfold. While this is happening men are being killed by a massive blood letting all over Manhattan and the police are on the case. Finally Max decides that his hedonistic lifestyle isn't getting anyplace and tells his agent to get him work. This includes a model. This is when a strange model shows up seemingly out of no place and dun dun dun... is a vampire. She wants to be painted because she doesn't know what she looks like (given that mirrors don't show her). I have no idea how she found him.

Ok, now we are getting someplace but there is a time stalling problem. You have to open yourself up to the artist or he can't paint you. He needs inspiration. And of course, a vampire has trouble opening themselves up. This "struggle" goes on for about 30 minutes. Sarah Romer is just horrible and stiff as the vampire (can't tell if it was direction) as if she was told that to have an other worldly quality she had to be stiff. There is never any sun in this movie. Everything is dark and blue. Finally, the ending seemed to make zero sense to me and just seems like they had no ending.

It had the potential for a new spin on a tired story. This may be the largest collection of characters that I that care nothing about since The Informers (2008). Moral vacancy, lack of concern for their fellow man, and with all the debauchery with no joy.

My best dog Wilson has more personality than our characters. We have a dying artist that once he learns of his illness tries to kill himself faster. An indiscriminate vampire killer that can't have survived as long as she has leaving such easy to follow trails. Neither of which capture your attention. If Max had taken a moment to enjoy the snow or Vivian had at least "played with her food" both would have made the characters enjoyable.

I'm glad they didn't show the painting. I'm more the dogs playing poker type and probably wouldn't have understood it anyway.

Not sure what others were expecting but I like to be surprised & entertained. The suffering artist was predictable but believable. Slow moving but I was entertained. If you were expecting some dippy fast moving, lots o' action "Twilight" movie, you would be bitterly disappointed. The actors were proficient enough throughout and the story line flowed. Surprise ending, not what I expected at all. I must have been engrossed, had tears in my eyes.
