Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

dworldeater My Best Friend Is A Vampire is a teen vampire comedy in the same vein as Once Bitten. I am a fan of both movies, but I prefer My Best Friend Is A Vampire to Once Bitten. Robert Sean Leonard is our likable lead Jeremy Cappello and when he is'nt attending class or at work, he is hanging out with his crazy buddy Ralph(Evan Mirand). However, a sordid little encounter with a hot, mysterious lady named Nora turns our average teenager Jeremy into a vampire. Enter Modoc(Rene Auberjonis) to show Jeremy the ropes of adjusting to his new life as a vampire and to warn him about obsessed Professor McCarthy(David Warner), a Van Helsing type of character, of which with his inept and goofy sidekick is determined to eradicate all vampires from the face of the Earth. Like all teenagers in 80's comedies, Jeremy is having girl troubles as well. His pursuit of Darla Blake(Cheryl Pollak) is off to a rough start as Darla, while she likes Jeremy she thinks he is a weirdo. While My Best Friend Is A Vampire is a much lower budgeted production than Once Bitten, it has a lot of original ideas and is really funny. This film is VERY, very 80's and a whole lot of campy fun. This leading role may not have made Robert Sean Leonard a breakout star, but he was likable enough and he and the rest of the supporting cast did an excellent job. I would not regard this as the best horror/comedy or the best 80'S movie, but if you are are fan of vampire movies and/or the cinema of the 1980's, My Best Friend Is A Vampire is a cool little film for you to check out.

Lee Eisenberg Oh not another vampire comedy! Actually, this one isn't half bad. Robert Sean Leonard plays a Houston high school student who one night has a fling with a sexy babe. The only thing is, this sexy babe just happens to be a creature of the night, and she turns him into one. At first, he refuses to accept his new status as a vampire, but a kindly old man (Rene Auberjonois) helps him. But there remains the question of how to deal with two vampire hunters."My Best Friend Is a Vampire" isn't really anything special, but it's good for a few laughs. And the idea of a vampire in Houston...well, we know that there are certain vampiric people from there!

philpaine I saw this recently on a faded old VHS tape, and remembered it dimly. Looking at it now, it seems charming.When it was first released, it was recognized by pretty much everyone as a spoof of coming out as a gay teenager. To hammer the point home, the mother is seen reading a paperback copy of "1 Teenager In 10", the most popular coming out book of the time. David Warner hams it up as the persecuting vampire hunter [= gay-hating evangelist], who is of course a self-loathing closet case. The list of sight gags and in-jokes that were included to make sure nobody missed the point would be too long to go into. The producers were having some good-natured fun, and hoping, no doubt, to lighten-up as well as to enlighten.But I have no clue how a teenage audience would look at this film, nowadays. In some places, where there is education and culture, the terrifying ordeals that gay teens had to go through are a thing of the past. But I'm sure there are plenty of dark, nasty corners of our continent where it's just as bad as it always was.

monkey-man Before i watched this movie on a really old video tape i thought that this movie would be a bit crap and this movie was made in 1988 so i thought that it would be so cheesy but then i watched it and it turned out to be quiet good and not that cheesy.This movie is not that funny but i laughed a few times when i watched this movie.The plot for this movie is a simple plot about how a teenage boy got bitten bye a woman vampire and he starts to turn into a vampire meanwhile 2 vampire hunters think his friend is a vampire so they are trying to kill him and i like the plot for this movie.Over all if u are a teenager i think u will like this movie and my rating for this movie is six out of 10.
