Reviews

“Like every vampire film - from ' Nosferatu ' to the 'Twilight' series - this public service crime thriller with its unconsumed actors is also a film about the longing for union. A romantic bloodlust and overwhelming act for the young target group, which was created in close consultation with the youth protection officer of Radio Bremen. Because fresh blood is good for the 'crime scene'. "

“On the whole, however, a very successful genre experiment, Lilith Stangenberg as a vampire is great, especially because she is not a vampire, at least not one whose bite would make her victim a vampire. So someone who is actually looking for companions becomes more and more lonely. That is the story behind the story. "
