The Radleys Review: Smart Supernatural Coming-Of-Age Story Is Overshadowed By Struggling Horror Comedy

The Radleys takes the vampire mythos in a new intriguing direction, but the horror comedy fails to stick the landing in its delivery. Technically speaking, the movie is fine. The actors deliver solid performances, and there is a central plot that moves the story along. But frustratingly, this movie's potential is squandered in terms of the actors involved, but also the missed opportunities in the plot that wind up being inconsequential side stories.
