BE FOR YOU MAKE A COMMENT
I DEAR YOU TO DO SOME RESEARCH
LOOK UP THE DIRECTORS WORK AT: IMDB.COM
READ UP ON HIM AT: WIKIPEDIA
AND WATCH ON OF HIS MOVIE:
AND THEN IF YOU HAD THE BALLS TO DO THAT I WOULD THEN SAY COMMENT
BECAUSE AS A FILM MAKER HES DOING JUST WHAT HE SHOULD DO PUSH THE LEVEL OF SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND NEW EVEN WITH A TIME TESTED STORY / LORE.
DONT JUST OPEN YOUR MOUTH ABOUT SOMETHING..
CAUSE ITS EASY TO NOT LIKE SOMETHING
OPEN YOU MIND TO SOMETHING
CAUSE THATS THE HARD PART LIKING SOMETHING NEW
THIS IS A GREAT OUTSTANDING FILM MAKER
this is one of the most exciting directorS out, i love the fact that we get an whole new spin on vampire lore, not every vampire movie should be on some love romantic, thing. what hes going to do is push you to watch then when you watching do something to make you want to turn your head...LOOK UP HIS WORK...
LIKE WITH HIS MOVIE "OLDBOY"
