Teenage Vampire

I find it really important to consider the target audience when reviewing a movie.

The target audience for this movie is ages 11 to 15, with 12 to 13 being dead on. Rating should have been PG13 for kissing and a little booze. There is not a single swear word and at the most a bit of french kissing. Other than that its squeaky clean. Rare now a days even in kids movies.

It has heart. Yes, its cheesy. Yes, the acting is only ok. The plot is paper thin. But it does entertain. Would I play it for a bunch of adults? Heck no. But for a bunch of tweens near Halloween time it is fine, specially with popcorn and snacks. They will have a good time.

Don't judge a book by it's cover, except here you can. From the title to the stupidly bad cover. Pure trash in every way. Avoid like the plague. They also closed the comments on the official Youtube trailer. You hardly need to guess why.

The actors are definitely in the *GROWTH* stage of their career, but I thought it was cheesy fun. There were some good satirical moments that I found refreshing after the never ending onslaught of Sensual Vamp movies. I think it will be fun to see some of the main actors grow in their careers and pursue their potential. Some of the one-bit characters were REALLY cringy with their acting, but I found it entertaining imaging the director talking his neighbor into being in this vamp movie. If you plan on watching it, just be prepared for 90 minutes of extreme cheesiness and you may enjoy the experience. That said, I did watch it on a streaming service which displayed it like a blockbuster, so what I got really threw me for a while.

Terrible acting! They sounded ridiculous trying to talk with their fangs,(like Sylvester the cat.) They stood around half the movie hissing at each other like feral cats. The "wooden" stakes were clearly rubber. Just save your time.

The title says about all I have to say. The film is amateurish. It's TV quality, at best. But then: cute girls, and decent action. Their fights are really not that bad. And they do their own stunts; without cut-aways, stand-ins, and other obvious cheating tricks. Most Hollywood movies will not do that. Even a few Hong Kong kung fu films would use disappointing cuts during fights. If teenage girls can win the Olympics in gymnastics, you can trust them to recite a few martial-arts moves. And these girls do. AND, they're cute. As a film, it's worth maybe 4. But for me, it's an 8.
