Film Review - The Radleys

RADLEYS 2

“The Radleys” began life as a 2010 book from author Matt Haig. The release is generally classified as a YA reading experience, but the film adaptation, scripted by Talitha Stevenson and Jo Brand, is a decidedly adult affair. A choice was made to turn the material into an R-rated viewing experience, with the production trying to drill a little deeper into the sexualized yearning of repressed vampires finally released from their own inhibitions. It’s a curious creative choice for a movie that seems as though it wants to follow teenage concerns involving monstrous changes, but director Euros Lyn (“Dream Horse”) gives the offering his full commitment. “The Radleys” endeavors to be sensual and threatening, perhaps a little cheeky as well, and it’s a mostly satisfying effort trying to do something a bit off beat with vampiric happenings, blending fanged violence with the battles of domestic living and secret lives.
