this movie is not as scary as its poster.....

I didn’t intend to watch this movie but my lady want to. However, after I was reading that the actor of this film is Johny Deep I thought that this movie will be great movie like previous film he starred ( Pirates of Caribean, etc.). Then, by this short place I will review about this film from two of perspectives e.g. story and cinematography

Story

This film tell about Barnanas Collins (Johny Deep), a vampire who is waking up from his long sleep. Actually, he began to be vampire because of the curse from his past girlfriend, Angelique (Evan Green), who is actually his servant.

After he lives again, he goes to his previous home and meet his family. With those family member, he want to build his family company so it can get its glory as his parents. To do that, he has to against Angelique. This conflict is mixed within love and glory between both of them. Moreover, Angelique still love Barnanas Collins and want to get her love again.

I am not sure about this true genre because this film contains of  horror, commedy, sex and love. All of those are mixed into one films. Although some people say that this films is unique and interesting but I don’t like that. I think it show that this film isnt consistent with its genre (in my perspective).

Cinematography

I can say that this film has good cinematography. Although the story is very confusing but the effect of this films is great. Sound, lighthing and shoot effect of this film is designed well and I got it. The little action in the last part of this films also good to be watched.

Between 0 to 10 I will give this film with score 6.5.
