While the writing for 'Habit' is so-so, I enjoyed the acting in the movie and thought the main character's portrayal of an alcoholic city guy trying to get over the loss of his father and the end of his relationship was pretty realistic. The supporting characters - the ex-girlfriend and the best friend mostly, was also pretty good, though I didn't care much for the vampire's acting. (She got the job done alright, though, and seemed scary anyway.) The first major event in the movie that I thought showed character growth, was when the main character realized there's more to life than lust and that he needs to start taking care of himself and stop making excuses. The second, which I feel really defines friendship and reliability, was when his friend at first dismissed his claims that his girlfriend was a vampire, but later realized something was wrong and tried to rescue him from the vampiress, charging through his house and breaking down doors to try to help him, possibly believing what he told him now. I think that showed true friendship, going to great lengths on a gut feeling to help a friend, no matter how unbelievable their problem sounds.
It wasn't the most original story and it wasn't the most exciting one, but Habit does a great job of using an unnatural event to help someone with 'bad habits' realize them. Good morals, interesting setting and not a bad watch for anyone that likes a little thrill in their thinking movies. Worth watching a time or two.
