About this movie

Welcome to the Cirque Du Freak, a traveling sideshow filled with magical creatures, misunderstood freaks, and the mysterious vampire, Larten Crepsley (John C. Reilly). Drawn to the dark, unpredictable world of the Cirque, 16-year-old Darren (Chris Massoglia) decides to trade in his ordinary life for a chance to become an immortal vampire. As Darren explores his newfound powers and faces unexpected enemies, he'll find that his existence as a member of the undead is filled with more challenges, suspense and fun than he ever thought possible. Based on the best-selling book series and co-starring Salma Hayek, Ken Watanabe, and Willem Dafoe, it's a fast-paced, suspenseful journey critics call, "Imaginative!" (Peter Hall, Cinematical.com)

Pretty good considering what it could have turned out as. And while I like some of the new character changes and additions, I thought the creation of the Monkey Girl was blase and very Hollywood. The original books were male-centric, with very few female characters (though the few that there were are strong and interesting, to be sure) it was more about Darren's journey and not a romance with a girlfriend.

THIS MOVIE doesn't do the book justice! (The reviewer said calmly)

A misfire on all cylinders. An insulting adaptation of one of my favourite series.
