Award-winning actors Kelly Macdonald (No Country For Old Men) and Damian Lewis ("Billions," Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood) star in a dark comedy thriller about a seemingly average suburban family with a juicy secret: they are vampires. In the light of day, the Radleys might seem normal, but they can only abstain from their natural cravings for so long until the bloody truth bubbles to the surface and turns their quiet country life upside down.

“The Radleys” is presented with an unobtrusive visual plainness, which never evolves, and often manifests as a lack of energy.

Euros Lyn, whose TV work is usually fast, vibrant and lively, doesn't seem to be able to get a handle On this at all, but he's not helped by an anaemic, joyless script that's managed to suck all the life out of Matt Haig's sprightly novel.

An entertaining massacre, although without many ideas of its own. [Full review in Spanish]

4/5

The most impressive element of The Radleys is that, thanks to its talented cast and smart tweaks to the original story, you'll care for this family come the inevitably bloody finale.

Damian Lewis' scene-stealing dual role offers some bites in this decent, darkly funny vampire comedy-horror.

As the tone lurches from deadpan fun to darker developments, The Radleys ultimately bites off more than it can chew.

I really enjoyed this! It’s basically a television movie? The acting was good, the story was good too. I thought the critics were a bit harsh on it, certainly something I wouldn’t go to the cinema to watch but definitely worth a watch. 💋😊

At first glances it seems unique and original to the subgenre, it’s well performed but the thin plot starts to drag when it becomes more family drama than vampire horror, it doesn’t really add anything to the genre, there’s not much for the viewer to sink their teeth into.

Having just read the book was delighted to see they had made a film and was keen to see it as I thought the book would make a great film. All the director/scriptwriter had to do was follow the book but they seemed to know better and utterly destroyed the entertaining narrative flow of the Matt Haig´s work. I rented it on Prime and turned it off half way through utter disappointment.

Started well and fizzled into plain daftnaffness. I read the book, which was great, but this film isn’t even a pale comparison. A sad, sad affair

It's the story of a struggling family, all with the undertone that they are vampires. They've chosen a life of abstaining from blood, but things start to fall apart when the girl gets assaulted.
