Tony, a young American boy lives alone in Scotland, the thing that makes his sorrow, as he suffers from having a boring life and wish if he has a friend that adds some joy and adventures of his life, struggles against befriending Rudolf, a young vampire boy the thing that brings terrible for him.
For adults, the film will drag in spots, but it's filled with all those values you hope to instill in your children.

Evocative of Tim Burton's work, the Scottish locations appear as a kind of ghoulish theme park full of ancient stately homes and mouldering, curse-ridden crypts.
Much of the film's success is down to the costume design, the novel SFX and the mildly foreboding atmosphere of the mist enshrouded Scottish countryside.
An odd little ghoul too cleaned up to survive, a bloodless vampire movie that's mostly lifeless as well.

It's an occupational hazard that you actually have to try to think about movies like this, which just get weirder and weirder the more you consider them.

Very funny in a way reminiscent of Babe: Pig in the City.
