Melissa V. (Mello44)

Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman play once again so well opposite of each other and Amy Adams is true to the innocent character, but Viola Davis and her short scene made me ache at every line,outstanding performance by Davis. The absence of dialoge in some secenes left the acters with nothing but their expressions and sent chills up my back,very effective and no doubt this film is a gem.

"I have a proprosition," sends all to purgatory. Sun baked richness of the film immerses you in it's heat,dust,and filth, no civilization except for a woman's garden. That proposition and the promise to bring civilzation to this hell condemns them all.Be careful of inviting the Devil to dinner,he most likely will except.

I is a fantasy, simple and some what opaque, just a myth brought to screen as many myths are told with great exaggeration, but you forgive all of this when viewing the WOW visual effects, true eye-candy! For a good time this vampire movie should do it.
