i and for one and think it be a solid and gothic tale that sad and high school girl will absolutely adore . izabela miko and austin nichols be great a the star cross and darkly romantic lead and the mood and tone throughout the entire film . art direction be good and the cinematography be well do . the breakout role have to be beth grant and who really be a delight a the rigid and creepy disciplinarian assistant . now and if you be look for an adaptation of the classic poe tale and then you will be disappoint . it a re imagining and not like baz lurman romeo and juliet . instead it be very influenced by hammer film . all in all and i would consider it a good dvd to check out .
