Editorial Review:

Product Description:
KRISTY SWANSON IS A BLONDE, BOUNCY HIGH SCHOOL CHEERLEADER WHO DISCOVERS SHE'S BEEN CHOSEN TO KILL A DETERMINED GANG OF BLOODSUCKERS.

Amazon.com:
Fran Rubel Kuzui's 1992 tongue-in-cheek vampire comedy is sugarcoated horror, an unusual mix of the cute and scary, with a splash of postmodern pop nonsense to give culture critics something to think about. Kristy Swanson plays a Valley Girl who learns she belongs to a line of ancient vampire killers. After training under the watchful eye of a mentor (Donald Sutherland), she becomes a spandex-wearing, kung-fu kicking, stake-stabbing babe and the mortal enemy of a narcissistic master vampire (Rutger Hauer). The accent is all on cheery attitude, though the action can be as authentically unnerving as any other halfway decent monster movie. Paul Reubens, formerly Pee-wee Herman, has a small role as Hauer's fanged familiar. --Tom Keogh

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - I was just curious
I got this movie cause I saw the TV show and I wanted to see what the movie was like. This movie is not that great and if it were not for the TV series, it would probably fall off the face of the planet. Do yourself a favor and just try to rent it from somewhere.




Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Be afraid be very afraid.
Very teen movie. Accurate valley girls, real air heads. Simple plot. Luke Perry's 4th movie before SNL. Hilary Swank's frist movie before they both did 90210. Don't expect much from this 1992 movie and you'll find it's a laugh riot. It's how the whole Buffyverse got started.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - In The Words of Joss Whedon: "It was funny when I wrote it."
As fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer the television series know, this movie from 1992 does not function as a prequel to the series. Creator Joss Whedon did write the script, but all the freshness and creativity was sucked out by the director, lines were read badly or completely misread, and the entire production team just didn't get what Whedon was trying to say. After this introduction, comparisons between the movie and the series will cease, but I just thought I should warn anyone who might be ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - A little Cheesy, but still a fun movie
If you're a fan of the tv show, you might be really disappointed in this one if you're looking for more of the same thing. The tone, pacing, and overall feel are very different.

The original movie is much more of a comedy and a bit of a silly one at that. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's much more for a fan of fun 80s movies thatn for the BTVS series. Some of the lines are very cheesy and haven't aged well, but the fun of the movie is still there. It's entertaining and can keep ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Cheesy, comedic fun.
This is a great movie for the lighthearted, cheesy, comedic angle. I prefer this type of thing to the TV series, which takes itself WAY to seriously. This movie is a great lighthearted laugh or two.
