A vampire Addams Family? An endearing comedy about a kind young vampiress who doesn’t want to kill anyone and an emo boy who doesn’t want to live. And they fall in love with each other. A slow film with the dark colors of night, but also with gentle perception of the central characters’ feelings and refreshing humorous interludes. Humanist Vampire is by no means groundbreaking, but it is an enjoyable film that is definitely more meaningful than the pseudo-artsy A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night about a similar young vampiress.

A low-key relationship comedy about vampires that doesn't try to tackle any deeper ideas and themes like other, earlier similarly-themed films, but is still inherently fine. ()
