The film is based on a true story about a man who was turned into a vampire. The story is told through the eyes of the man who is transformed into a monster.
The film is about the man's transformation from a boy to a man. It is not about the story, it is about how the man became a monster and how he was transformed into the man he is today. The movie is not a masterpiece, but it is a good example of how a story can be told without telling the story.
