A Teen's Vampire Movie
18 May 2006
This is a vampire movie for teenagers, or at least was when it came out. A number of these actors became well-known as adults. Teens definitely would like this film better than adults.

However, older folks can still be entertained by this if they don't let the obnoxious teen attitudes get to them, and just enjoy the colorful scenes in here. It's lightweight horror-comic entertainment but gets pretty tense in the last 15-20 minutes.

Overall, this just didn't leave a good taste in my mouth. I did let these teens' attitudes get to me, making me annoyed at times. I was a bit aggravating watching the too liberal mother (Diane Weist) in the way she handled her kids, too.

There are so many other good vampires movies that worth keeping. This is worth a rental but not a purchase.

Some of those younger actors were Keifer Sutherland, Jason Patric, Corey Feldman, Jamie Gertz and Cory Heim.
