>>>   8:41p  "nos4a2" (Metacritic: 47, 25-70, #8)
  • It's about a vampire that gets younger as he drains the life out of children.  So, he doesn't turn other people into similar vampires.  And there is a 18-yr-old girl (played by a 26-yr-old) who seems to have some sort of mysterious powers  to find lost things that she doesn't understand.  The lost things are on the other side of a covered bridge that her father demolished years ago. Having the power might be nice if it didn't give her a splitting headache. 
  • Harsh critic said, "a shockingly unscary horror drama prone to ill-considered detours and over-explained supernatural  machinations, while wallowing in entirely too many blue-collar cliches and variable Massachusetts accents."  A more favorable critic noted that the acting is solid.  
  • I expect to keep watching.  The harsh critics seem to think that this has to be standard horror, but we've had plenty of such vampire stories.  And this is based on a successful book -- although maybe there was more horror in the book.  I don't understand how horror comes across from words on a page.
