Vampire Academy 2014

Based on the best-selling young adult book series, Vampire Academy is a convoluted and monotonous tale. A half vampire, half human named Rose must protect a vampire princess from a mysterious assailant that’s stalking her. The script is incredibly weak; as it’s full of exposition dumps that try to explain the vampire social order and provide some ambiguous backstories for several key characters. And, the acting isn’t that good either; though Zoey Deutch does have a certain charisma. Yet the vampire mythology is quite intriguing, and there’s a good amount of mystery to the plot. Vampire Academy is clearly trying to cash in on the recent popularity of young adult fantasy, but it doesn’t put forth much effort into making a quality product.
