Starting off with some mediocrity unfortunately. Black Death was interesting with its bleakness, but I can see it being a turn off because of its misanthropy. I would have liked seeing a more in-depth religious crisis with the main character, and the twist near the end felt completely unnecessary to me.
I wanted to see Vampire Journals because I was really into Bloodstone: Subspecies 2, and it was a spinoff of that film series. It's pretty much a teenage vampire fanfic coming to life. Entertaining but garbage at the same time. It's made partially better by the director's fantastic style, which reminds me of some Italian horrors. The worst part is that it's missing Radu, who is the most pathetic and overdramatic vampire in the best way possible.
