Given its best selling source material (Richelle Meads 2007 book) and the writer director duo behind it, the movie should have been better.

The only thing scary about Vampire Academy is how bloody boring it is.

As Rose, Deutch gives a fussy, animated performance that too often overshadows her undeniable charisma.

This attempt to capture the magic of the Twilight and Harry Potter franchises tries too hard to pack all the backstory and borrowings into one film.

Theres no inspiration, no joy and not very much humor at least intentional humor.

Vampire Academy feeds the thirst for cinematic blood in this particular genre, a genre which builds addiction as strongly as blood lust.

Ninety minutes of mostly blood red herrings culminates in exactly who you think stepping forward as the big bad before the movie mercifully ends.

If nothing else, Vampire Academy has a deep concern with getting the terminology straight.
The Dissolve

Vampire Academy works because its a fun film, but the lack of slower, more emotional moments leaves it without very many fully realized relationships.
