If you loved Being Flynn, try Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Paul Weitz, and they both carry the outsider, tender mood tags. If that's the register that drew you to Being Flynn, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant is

A creepy carnival at dusk, calliope music swirling, a freaky banner flapping. A boy's encounter with a mysterious vampire and assorted circus oddities sets off a strange transformation. Weitz attempts a darker take on familiar fantasy elements.
