Leave your thoughts about The Moth Diaries.
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfIt's a missed opportunity for Harron, who can't figure out a game plan for the source material's mysteries, leaving the picture to spin helplessly, wasting enticing genre ingredients. |
| Boxoffice MagazineJoseph Jon LanthierWith bubbles of nascent arousal frothing at the film's feminine surface, Moth Diaries' commercial potential is likely to hinge on whether or not audiences can stand to be confronted with the confusion they felt as adolescents. |
| Filmcritic.comBill GibronSex, blood, and death may be the givens of any Dracula-inspired fright film. The Moth Diaries skimps on all three. |
| MovielineStephanie ZacharekIt offers glancing pleasures of the atmospheric kind – the impact is the equivalent of a filmy cobweb brushing against your cheek. It tickles more than it bites. |
| AV ClubScott TobiasWriter-director Mary Harron, a supremely intelligent adaptor who did wonders with the screen version of Bret Easton Ellis' "American Psycho," simply doesn't have the chops to give this story the florid kick it needs. |
| Monsters and CriticsRon WilkinsonGood overall plot and production that do not come together in the sharp focus of a conventional horror film. Entertaining nonetheless. |
| Contactmusic.comRich ClineLike the central character, it's difficult to convince ourselves that this sinister nastiness isn't really happening. So we get increasingly unnerved as the story progresses. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumHer (Harron) torpid adaptation of Rachel Klein's novel about female sexual desire, jealousy, death wishes, and vampires at a girls' boarding school defeats Harron's talent for exploring darkness on the edge of kinkiness. |
| Slant MagazineAndrew SchenkerThis is one vampire film whose sexless, generic ending betrays a promise of revisionist complexity. |
| Reason OnlineKurt LoderThere's a heavy air of Sapphic attraction-which might have been more fun if fun were what the director had in mind. |
