I am a fan of the Twilight series, and before watching this I thought it sounded like a complete rip off. In most ways it is very similar to Twilight but after watching it I think it could hold it's own. The story is not bad at all. I do think the main vamp character (Stephan?) looks way too old to be a high school student, but he did say he was, what, over a century old? So maybe they were trying to make him look a bit older because of that. Some of the other students looked more like they should be in college or older. The show could do without the cheesy fog and crow, but I do like the special effects around Stephan's eyes when he starts to vamp out. Overall, I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would.
