i give this movie a positive . i think the general dislike of this movie be due to people not really understand the plot . if you think about the story line this movie actually make perfect sense and it just doesn not ever give you a dumbed down explanation . it true that the special effect be sub par and it appear semi low budget and but i think the originality of the plot keep you draw in . people say that the vampire genre be overdone and clichéd out and but with bled and what you get be not your conventional vampire flick . it a dream or alternate reality story line with a vampire or eternal life spin on it . i love it . the only thing that keep me from give it a high rating be the lack of special effect and that i personally dislike movie where most of the people have accent . but like i say earlier and if you really get the plot this be not a bad movie .
