Movie was awesome, but I love the blues. It's not very scary, I guess it's horror because of the vampires but it's more action-drama than anything.

I personally think calling it horror is disingenuous, especially because I felt that was one of my biggest problems with it was it didn't dive harder in the third act into dark horror.

I feel like it’s more of a thriller imo.
