Movie Review: Why do once-upon-a-time good neighbours -- Yelchin and Jerry turn cross one fine day ? Not the fact that Yelchin's a cool dude at high school, while Jerry never went to high school. Not even that Yelchin's a hit with every babe on campus, while Jerry chooses to remain single. It's the Dr Hyde in the Jerry by day -- an alpha bloodsucker with a body count that knows no boundaries. Of course, this is made known to the neighbourhood by none other than Yelchin when students from his class go missing. And thus begins the duos `You've been watching me and I've been watching you' game that draws Charley's mom, best friend, girl friend... 
A game that not only includes innumerable runs, but also a smart war of words between the vampire and its slayer: Yelchin offends Mr Vampire saying that `Jerry's a terrible name for a vampire'. Jerry gives it back saying Yelchin's mom's gives away a `bad smell', rather than his `girlfriend's ripe smell'. But like all things inhumane, the neighbourhood also takes a lot of convincing from Yelchin, and his recruit -- a professional vampire hunter and an LA showman Peter Vicent (David Tennan). Enter the 3D dramatics. Watch out for the vampire talons and fangs that leap out at you. Next up are fireballs and zooming arrows. And then come the cries of victims with blood oozing out of necks, hissing and screams. For a moment though you feel you're caught inside a dummy house of vampires. But then we are not complaining. For reasons two: First, is David Tennant who adds colour with his one liners and most importantly self-confidence issues when facing vampires. And second is Colin Farrell as the sexy and charming vampire who chooses blood to romance, has a wicked sense of humour and above all, `loves living a life of more than 400 years'. Are you listening the 17-till-I-die vampire! Copywright by: timesofindia
