Young Amber Burke-McDonald does a very believable job of portraying Raven - a 150-year-old vampire trapped in the body of a 12-year-old in this atmospheric, loving tribute to the classic vampire genre.

Anyone familiar with Tod Browing's 1931 Dracula starring Bela Lugosi will surely be as endeared to this film as I was. With it's feel-good ending and a zinger of a moral, this film is guaranteed to leave the viewer with warm fuzzies - blood-warm fuzzies, that is.

10 stars for the movie concept. Another 10 stars for the acting and finally 10 more stars for the creative and innovative soundtrack.

The dark comedy subgenre, also known as black comedy, combines humor with elements of tragedy, morbidity, or darker themes. Dark comedies often explore serious or taboo subjects, such as death, crime, dysfunction, and societal issues, while infusing these topics with humor to create an unusual and often thought-provoking contrast.
