Twee meiden die studeren aan een school voor vampiers zijn op een hele bijzondere manier met elkaar verbonden. Rose is niet alleen hartsvriendinnen met Lissa, ze wordt ook opgeleid tot haar beschermer. Niet zonder reden, want Lissa is prinses en troonopvolger van de Moroi, zoals vreedzame, sterfelijke vampiers heten. Rose traint er graag hard voor, ook omdat ze extra vechtlessen krijgt van de knappe Dimitri voor wie ze wel wat voelt. Ze zal iedere les nodig hebben, want de Strigoi, onsterfelijke, evil vampiers, zullen er alles aan doen om Lissa het leven onmogelijk maken. Alsof het leven op school nog niet ingewikkeld genoeg is… (Dutch FilmWorks)

From the promising storyline supported by a promising book series, only a surprisingly roughly chopped omelet remains, though the impressions remain largely positive. With the impossibility of keeping up with the escalating mythology, with three twists and two new characters in every other five-minute segment, everything lies on the beautiful Zoey Deutch, because the wooden Danila Kozlovskij, the heavily overacting Olga Kurylenko, and the unremarkable princess don't help her much. However, the main heroine, as well as the less successful and insufficiently soaked in sarcasm scenes, handles it with ease, which, combined with cool action and a strong frequency of lines, is absolutely sufficient. However, if I were to seek logic in the sequence of the plot, I would have to burst far more.

It is clear from the beginning that this film will not be a miracle. It is stylized like "Twilight," which is not very good, but that's how it goes. But what I liked more was at least some effort to turn it into a bit of a thriller or detective story. Towards the end, it unnecessarily becomes tangled, and actually, it is clear from the beginning who the killer is, but I still felt that there was at least a hint of effort here.
