BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Mikel3 I've read curiously glowing reviews of this film saying how Anna was really just part of Sam's imagination and represented his addiction. Some even said she disappeared when he died. But Anna did not disappear at the end. She was laying there next to Sam on the pavement when they both went out the window. Also if Anna did not exist how come others besides Sam spoke to and interacted with her? If the film makers wanted to imply she was only in Sam's mind they could have done it much better. For instance the way Bruce Willis' character was depicted in 'The Sixth Sense'. In TSS (warning spoiler......) at the end you realize that nobody but the boy actually interacted with the Willis character after he was shot. It was artfully done and logical. This movie was not logical in that sense.I agree that 'Habit' is best when viewed as an allegory for addictions. It would have been much better IMO if they had done a better job trying to create that allegory. Instead it's a mess.On-the-other-hand if it was meant to be a straight out vampire film it was also poorly done, even on a budget, with plot holes you could drive a hearse through. I thought the acting was low quality and the character dialog was done as if they were in a very bad Woody Allen movie. The only decent actor was Larry Fessenden. That guy that played his friend was down right terrible.So sorry, gang, it's nice so many of you liked this film and saw more in it, but I say "The Emperor has no clothes".BTW-An example of a good low budget moody, character driven film where everything might not be as it seemed is 'Magdalena's Brain'. You might want to check it out instead of this dribble: http://imdb.com/title/tt0780561/

danthewrestlingmanorigin This film is stunning in every way imaginable. Even non horror fans can enjoy this film as it's really just using Vampires as a metaphor for relationships and being lonely. There's nothing exactly like this film, but if you enjoy it I would also recommend Immortality ( Wisdom Of The Crocodiles), another different spin on the Vampire mythos. The performances here are so realistic, you actually feel like you are watching real people, in the real world, with real problems, which is rare in Vampire films. I've seen almost every Creature Of The Night movie ever made, from the original Nosferatu, to current big budget flicks like Blade and Underworld, and all the foreign and DTDVD films in between, and I can tell you with absolute certainty that you will love Habit.

kathy-116 I am a big fan of horror movies but this movie was not like any other horror one. It made one uncomfortable as the main actor life is a mess, he's troubled and the girl who comes into his life is an uncomfortable creature from the beginning. There are movies designed to give you a bad feeling, not horror but just uneasiness and disturbance and Habit is certainly one of them. If you like disturbing movies, watch this one. Also, I was confused why at the last scene, the garlics would not hurt Anna at all as a Vampire. Sam got a call from a friend that warned him about her but he never called back so we could see how other people could be warned of her presence. I also wonder if the ex-girlfriend was finally murdered by Sam? Lots of question marks for me .

auteurus This slow moving independent film turned out be a great genre vampire flick with a cinema verite feel. Despite a low budget, the acting, soundtrack and New York location evokes a mood of gritty alienation as Sam spirals towards self destruction. If you enjoy horror and you don't expect a Hollywood blockbuster, check it out.7/10
