Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
This a great movie. It is one of the scariest movies of all time. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. 5.6 it a good ratting. But this is such a good movie 5.6 is underrating. This is a great movie. I give 10 out of 10. It his a true horror classic. See it. It is a great movie. The show it good. This is a better. See it. It is a classic. I need more lines and I am running out of things to say. This is a great movie great movie great movie great movie great movie. If you like good horror stories then you will like this movie. It is a great movie.
Buffy Summers thinks of herself as an ordinary student at a Los Angeles high school; her only priorities are cheerleading and shopping with her friends although she does have strange dreams in which she is other girls who are fighting vampires! Then one day a strange man, introducing himself as Merrick, tells Buffy that she the Chosen One The Vampire Slayer. He takes her to the graveyard where she faces and kills her first vampires. Soon afterwards she rescues Pike, an outsider at her school and they become friends as he is the only other person who knows about the vampires. As she starts to take her vampire slaying responsibilities more seriously she drifts away from her vacuous friends. Merrick warns her that there is one vampire, Lothos, who she must be wary of; he has killed many slayers over the years and won't be easy to defeat. Inevitably the two must eventually face each other at the school's senior dance.It is hard not to compare this film with the superior television series that is set after the events of the film however I will try. This film is lightweight fun; Kristy Swanson does a solid job as Buffy; her character develops nicely from a self-centred valley girl to somebody willing to risk herself for others. Donald Sutherland is impressive as Merrick because he plays his role dead-straight; the film may be fairly light but he appears to be taking his role seriously. Luke Perry is okay as love interest Pike; it was fun to see a boy taking the 'damsel in distress' role while Buffy saves the day. On the down side the special effects are almost non-existent; dead vampires don't turn to dust or burst into flames; they just lie down with a stake in their chests and the vampire makeup looks like something that one might wear for Halloween rather than that seen in a Hollywood film. The comedy elements are a bit mixed; Buffy's talk with the principal where he ends up talking about doing LSD in the sixties was priceless but the scene where vampire Amilyn has an extended death scene was just too silly for my taste. Overall I'd say this was a fun introduction to the world of Buffy The Vampire Slayer; just don't expect the same quality as the cult TV series.
This is an unpretentious and funny high school action movie with vampires. Very beautiful young Kristy Swanson does a good job playing charismatic and initially futile Buffy. Even the most obvious clichés are nice to be seen performed by her: Silverstone-Clueless-style emptiness, martial arts and vampire-slaying practice, cheer-leading for the basketball school team. Both arrogance and tenderness are convincingly portrayed at her pretty face. Quite remarkable was also Donald Sutherland in the role of Buffy's tutor, Merrick. The film gets campy sometimes, but it is not a flaw. It is quite good in what it intends to do (and that is not to frighten or to be serious). Indeed, I laughed a lot! Seeing Hillary Swank in her very first movie playing one of Buffy's best airhead friends is something to be highlighted. The same can be said about having Rutger Hauer as the comic master vampire. My positive review has nothing to do with being a fan of the TV show, as I have never watched it.
Buffy (Kristy Swanson) is the quintessential valley girl cheerleader. She and her friends are all clueless. She is approached by Merrick (Donald Sutherland) and told that she is the Slayer. There are vampires in the world, and there is a slayer who fights them. When one slayer falls, another one takes her place. It is Buffy's turn to be the Slayer. She is joined by a slacker outcast Pike (Luke Perry) in a fight against the powerful Lothos (Rutger Hauer).This is most notable for who wrote the script, Joss Whedon. Although he definitely has disowned this with all the changes to his script. It has a funny co-starring role from Paul Reubens. The style is lacking. Kristy Swanson has the looks but not quite the attitude of the valley girl exactly. She always seems a bit too bright and too serious for the clueless role. It is definitely a very light sarcastic take on the vampire movie.
