It was given positive reviews, winning multiple awards at film festivals. 85% from Rotten Tomatoes and 7.3/10 from IMDb
Why was it not successful?:
Ever since Twilight, Vampires have been a sure fire way of a film gaining success, however this film did not do well at the box office at all with a loss of over $5million. Though the film gained very positive reviews which, for low budget and independent films can be the thing that makes or breaks them, the main reason for the failure of the film was a lack of advertisement. It was shown on very few cinema screens and was only heard about for many people through word of mouth. Social media was a very prominent part of spreading the word about this film, and many people heard about it purely because of the stars, such as Tom Hiddleston fan blogs on blogging platform Tumblr.
