March 6, 2011This isn't the best of the teen vampire movies of the 80s or anything, but personally I loved it, it's fun, exciting, and funny. It's the perfect 80s entertainment, plus it's a vampire movie, so enjoy it.

November 8, 2010I have such a soft spot for this movie - it's part of my childhood. It's kind of funny how my young mind glossed over all the sexual elements and focussed entirely on the comedy and vampire bits. Come to think of it, 12-year-old me did that quite a bit.

June 20, 2008The ultimate culmination of things we'd like to forget from the eighties. Tihs is a fun little movie that pokes fun at teenagers and vampires in the same field and does it smartly. It got a few chuckles out of me, especially the silver bullet joke at the end.

April 7, 2008I saw this on USA Up all Night once. It was typical 80s drek. A silly premise with actors and actresses walking around in 80s garb and a soundtrack with synthesizers and Pat Benatar.
