Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: It laughs at the form it embraces, adds a rock-and-roll soundtrack and, if you share its serious-satiric attitude, manages to be very funny.
Rotten: A horrifically dreadful vampire teensploitation entry.
Fresh: There's always room for fancy trash, and this movie -- about a gang of punk vampires terrorizing the new kids in town -- seems capable of providing some. Then the characters open their mouths.
Fresh: It starts slow, but finishes fast with some clever plot twists. In the end, all is not lost with these boys.
Customer Reviews
Laugh, scream and laugh again
I watched this movie three times at the theater in 1987 and still love it! This vampire movie is the epitome of excellent humor/horror. Just when you are sitting on the edge of your seat getting ready for the next scary scene you get a joke or a snide remark. As you are relaxed by the humor, bam you get hit with a nail bitter of a scary scene. The soundtrack is one of the best I've ever heard; some of my favorite music came from this soundtrack. It is as much a classic as Frankenstein or The Mummy!
Wow what a masterpiece
This movie made me love vampire movies of all kinds. It involves horror action and a little love. Why couldnt Twilight be this good?
