Are the visuals good? Yes Is the camera work good? Yes Is the acting good? Well- Is the story good? (=_=)
What annoyed me personally is that there was a lot of showing and not enough telling, which is bothering me especially for a movie like this one.
How did everyone in the group apart from lulu manage to come up with a plan to fool her instantly?
Is she then a real vampire in the end?
If so then why risk your secret for a stupid moral game?
We're left in the end with an incomplete story and several questions unanswered. Sure you can say that Lulu wanted to show her friends their true nature; them being monsters, but what did they learn from that? What i got is that they just went back to their regular selves and and learned nothing.
The five of them act as if Taïwan was their playground and continue to do so after several traumatic events.
Honestly I'm underwhelmed.

Slow burn that goes completely out
It was slow and boring. Never gets anywhere. We gave it over half the time and finally shut it off. Could've been cool, but they just dragged out a seriously boring story.
Interesting Poster but Quite Boring Overall
This film essentially involves five young adults who happen to be exceeding rich and extremely bored discussing ways to change their situation. With that in mind, one particular woman by the name of "Anastasia" (Anna Marchenko) comes up with an idea and they all head out into a remote part of the country to commune with nature. At least, that is what she initially planned as later that night they are met by a shaman who performs some type of ritual and then after inhaling some smokey substance they all drift into a deep sleep and start having vivid dreams. When they wake up they notice that the shaman is dead from apparent bite marks on his neck and that they all have suddenly grown sharp fangs. Needless to say, this terrifies them and they quickly head back to the city to discuss this sudden turn of affairs with one in particular named "Alexander" (Yen Tsao) wanting to fully embrace his vampiric self-with all that that entails. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that I just happened to stumble upon a review of this film by a prolific writer on IMDb and even though his critique was less than enthusiastic I thought I would check it out for myself. After all, the poster and the overall story looked quite interesting and I wanted to see if there was something he might have missed. Well, it turns out his overall assessment was correct for the most part as this film happened to be both long and incredibly boring. It did have some good points, however, as the camera work was exceedingly good and Aviss Zhong (as "Lulu") was not only remarkably attractive but fit the part quite well too. Even so, the film itself never seemed to really go anywhere. Likewise, the ending was totally botched and I was left with more questions than answers. Having said that, while I don't consider this movie to be terribly bad, it clearly didn't realize its potential and I have rated it accordingly.
