Reception
Critical response
Reviews praised visuals and set location but criticised characters, plot, mythology premise, abrupt ending, limited portrayal of Victor Webster, overreliance on female centric nudity/sexuality noting it weak to the original and oversimilarity to the Twilight film series with Hinnendael possibly plagiarising Kristen Stewart. It has received an aggregate score of 10% on Rotten Tomatoes.[1]
