Beautiful Creatures (2013) 7/10

Starring : Alden Ehrenreich, Alice Englert, Jeremy Irons, Viola Davis, Emmy Rossum, Thomas Mann, Emma Thompson
Director : Richard LaGravenese
Running Time : 124 mins

Ethan Wate (Ehrenreich) wishes for nothing more than the chance to leave his little home town and get away from the small minded people that live there, but when he meets Lena Duchannes (Englert), a girl whose family live in seclusion in their ancestral home, he discovers secrets not only about her family but about the history of his own.

Even though this movie sounds like a reversed version of Twilight with witches instead of vampires – something a lot of novelists and film makers are attempting to imitate - it actually wasn’t that bad. The characters were far more likeable, which may be more thanks to the actors than the writing, and the choices they make are far more selfless than in the Twilight Saga. Saying that, fans of Bella and Edward will enjoy this, but it may appeal to a wider audience than just Stephenie Meyer fans.
