Summary: 4 Stars
Buffy Sommers ( Kristy Swanson) is a beautiful blonde high schooler living in modern day california who's like your average valley girl. An odd man ( Donald Sutherland) tells her that her anchestors were vampire killers, she doesn't believe him until she meets & kills a real one and now she is assisted by a lovable rebel without a cause ( Luke Perry) to destroy vampires in the city of Los Angeles. The high vampire lord Lothos ( Rutger Hauer from Blade Runner) with his nobel assistant Lefy ( Paul "Pee-Wee Herman" Ruebens) have vowed to destroy any chosen vampire killers, only Buffy can stop these bloodsuckers.
Entertaining, charming and somewhat goofy horror comedy spoof that parodies the usual high school teen movie with vampire elements thrown into it with black comedy thrown into it. It's not really too bad, it may not be as excellent as the TV show that came 6 years after it came out but it's worth watching for fans of the TV show to understand her origin of how she fought the undead.
The DVD's got excellent surround sound with decent picture, there is a few good extras like featurette, TV Spots and Trailer with trailers to other fox movies.
Also recommended: " Clueless", "Vamp", " From Dusk Till Dawn", " Vampire Hunter D", " Vampire's Kiss", " Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust", " Fright Night", "Fright Night 2", "Shaun of the Dead", "An American Werewolf in London", " The Return of the Living Dead", " Bram Stoker's Dracula", " The Forsaken", "Heathers", " Scream", " Evil Dead II" and " Fright Night 2".
Movie Review: A dissenting opinion
Summary: 4 Stars
Everywhere you turn, I hear people talking about how the TV show is better than this -- the original. I couldn't disagree more strongly. The TV show forgets the one thing that makes this movie special -- it's a comedy. And yes, it is a bit scary at times in a campy sort of way, but it is a comedy. From the existential basketball coach ("I am a person. I have a right to the ball." and "You missed practice today. You sit out and think how that makes me feel.") to the ridiculous cheers ("How funky is your chicken..." and so on) to the assistant principal who tries to find out what is troubling Buffy. As he drones on about freaking out at a Doobie Brothers concert, she sticks a push-pin in her mouth and shoots it out to nail a fly to the wall. Donald Sutherland chewing up the scenery in every scene he's in is nothing short of delicious. The acting in the movie is not Oscar material -- but it doesn't have to be. As for the inconsistencies in the mythology -- IT'S A COMEDY!!My only serious complaint about the film is Rutger Hower's dreadful performance as Lothos -- he plays it like Liberace. Knowing about that flaw in advance, however, makes you more tolerant of it and gives you the chance to enjoy the rest of the movie. Don't try to make this into the prequel to the TV show. They are approximately about the same general characters. Their tone is completely different. And, as I said, I much prefer the movie.
