The premise is interesting, but it never becomes anything more than a premise. Forgetting the various, small and big, plot holes (arriving at the farm-lair in the morning, then an hour later it's already night and oh man, we've procrastinated so long we haven't done anything; then again we never quite realise why the family has been feeding the trapped vampire, or how and why he made them immortal), the film doesn't really use its promising elements: the nazi-side of the villain is virtually forgotten after the intro. The third eye thing seems a sloppy addition put there because it seems occult. The final confrontation is an unnecessary move by the bad guy so he can be defeated. All in all, you'd think a good actor like Fassbender would have been given a more substantial role. A decent horror film, but nothing particularly memorable.
score 5/10
