Despite its low budget, the assets of Fessenden's film include startlingly rich cinematography and an above-average cast, most of whom have roots in New York's downtown performance scene.

Another hip vampire drama set in New York's East Village, small budget indie Habit manages to impress with plausible scripting, first-rate performances and an unsettling mood of mounting dread.

Too much time passes before Habit pulls its plot together, and too much of the acting merits the description amateurish.

Top CriticAbsolutely to be seen.

Fessenden’s minimalist film is tightly constructed to haunt without terrorizing, playing far deeper on our psyches than surface level horror

Larry Fessenden's impressive Habit takes a great deal of pleasure in ambiguously playing around with the vampire tradition.

Top CriticThe low budget shows, as does the lack of virtually any story to speak of.

The film has a captivating style.

Sam's suspicion that Anna is a vampire because she's anorectic, reticent, and only comes out at night prompts his best buddy to observe that Sam resembles a character in a bad movie -- as if the self-reference will deepen the obvious allusions.

Top CriticIt's cinema vérité stapled to a stake and run through your bleeding heart.
