Aprendiz de vampiro

Actually that film is quite safe. Okay, this was cheaper looking than I was expecting. And I wonder how they managed to rope in Glu Gulager? Reminded me of a two-bit horror-comedy (which doesn't always gel) take of Jim Carrey's 'Once Bitten', but set in a Bible Belt town during the 1950's.

A nerdy, unpopular teenager (Beau Bishop looking too old for the role... unless it's an in-joke) is transformed into a glowing green eyed vampire after spending a night with a lady of the night in a sleazy motel. Suddenly he's the talk of the high school, and his dream girl wants to get to know him. Still kooky, but a little darker and deadpan where the cheap look and execution plays to its advantage. The material's humour can be flat and have you cringing with dry character exchanges, but there's a weird vibe in its attempts of horror which can go for the jugular. Starts kinda slow, but once blood sucking begins. It gets better as it moves along with the odd surprise or two up its sleeve.
