Reception

Beyond Hollywood wrote, "The Thompsons is very much a pleasant surprise, an entertaining and reasonably well crafted modern vampire tale. Though a little bit True Blood, the film is considerably more engaging than most others of its type, boosted by a likeable returning cast. The film’s real strengths are its surprisingly human script and solid character work, both of which help to keep the viewer involved".
