Crush

About This Movie

So, 'Crush' from 2021 is this quiet little drama that really leans into its unique premise. You've got this shy teenage vampire, which is a refreshing twist, and the whole vibe feels very introspective. The pacing is gentle, almost languid, capturing those awkward moments of teenage life. The autumn backdrop adds to the atmosphere – it has that cozy, melancholic feel. The performances are solid, with a genuine chemistry between the leads that feels both tender and awkward, much like their characters. And while the vampire angle is there, it’s really more about identity and connection. It's a nice change of pace from the usual high-energy horror flicks and showcases some practical effects that lend a certain charm.
