Enjoyed it in spite of myself

So I was wandering around Netflix and came across this movie. I knew it was adapted from the same series as Interview with the Vampire, though also of its less than stellar reputation, and because it was free I thought, "Why not?"

I got the sense that it wasn't a particularly good movie, but I think it inadvertently triggered a nostalgic part of my brain. As I said, I'd never seen it before. But pretty much everything about it, for better or for worse, screamed "Early 2000's" in a nutshell with things like the visual look and the music. All the gloss and NuMetal. Even the crummy blur effects for the "vampire speed" somehow registered like that. I was newly into my double digits in that era so naturally like any person's childhood they felt like the better times. And somehow during a bloody vampire movie those factors resonated with me in a bizarre way.

Anybody else have this kind of experience with any movie? I dunno, this weird response was so strong I felt that I had to talk about it somewhere. 
