Cirque Du Freak - The Vampire's Assistant SynopsisYoung Darren Shan attends an illegal freak show with his best friend and decides to become a vampire’s assistant to save his best friend’s life. Forced to leave his home and family forever, Darren joins the freak show where he meets a host of bizarre creatures and finds himself at the centre of a war between the vampires and a rival clan.
The TrailerThe ReviewI would think the Twilight craze would dampen any other Vampire movie release, but Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant held its own. The movie has a slow beginning, but it catches up in the second half. The attraction is the fantastical elements in the story itself. Inspired from the book series, the film has watchable moments, but don’t expect the storyline to follow suit the book references. For example, the creative direction was slightly off the mark, as in the book the settings I interpret Cirque Du Freak having more of a Gothic and eerie atmosphere, but the movie itself it was too much of colors and cheesy CGI. Don’t get me even started on the characters, they’re different from the fan books I’ve read. If you want to watch this movie, don’t read the book, or you’ll be sorely annoyed that the film has misrepresented the adaptation. The Good
