What critics compared Beautiful Creatures to
Writer-director Richard LaGravenese is more accustomed to scripting glossy prestige romances ( Water For Elephants , The Horse Whisperer , The Bridges Of Madison County ) than directing this sort of heady Twilight descendant, but his touch here probably means less than the presence of cinematographer Philippe Rousselot (Tim Burton’s lensmeister on Big Fish , Planet Of The Apes , and Charlie And The Chocolate Factory ) and production designer Richard Sherman ( The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn 1 and 2).

Zoey Deutch (also of 2013’s YA dud “Beautiful Creatures” ) plays Rose Hathaway, a half-human/half-vampire known as a Dhampir, who is training to be the guardian of her best friend Lissa (Lucy Fry), a Moroi princess and heir to the throne of Dragomir.
