What does this film say about beauty, obsessions, or obligations? To what lengths do we go in order to feel better about ourselves? Is there anything the vampire could do differently? Doesn't he have a choice in the matter? What is the difference between a choice and an obligation? What about the wife? What needs to change in her life to stop her from sacrificing young girls in order to steal their heads?
