Watch My Babysitter's a Vampire For Free

Powerful

Great Film overall

Blistering performances.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

I saw a DVD release of this, and technically it's not a master-piece (sound, image and editing), but content-wise it's one of the first movies in a long (looong) time that gets close to having the same excellent spirit that is in the old "nightmare on elm street" films :) Sure, it's not at all similar, in terms of story, but it just has that special something that makes it very enjoyable to watch.Great cast :) The movie could easily have been longer. In fact it should have been, since there were some scenes that seemed to come out of the blue (Benny and the popcorn-girl scene, for example) like something was edited out.It's quite obvious that this is a pilot to a serial, rather than made to be just a standalone film. But if you love the show, getting the backstory is very pleasing. In the show there are many references to past events, but in the film we finally (I saw the serial before the film, so everything is chronologically reverse for me) see these things happen :) It's fun, it'll make you smile, it's friendly, and it's even a bit scary at times :) All in all a keeper you can easily watch more than once :) (I just wish it was released on bluray though, and with as good sound-quality as the show has when broadcast on Disney-channel. The DVD is sub-standard technically so that's why I give it 7 out of 10. The like-factor is higher)

After learning his fellow student babysitter is a vampire, a kid and his best friend team up with her to battle an evil vampire looking to harvest souls from the town's residents.For a teeny-bopper vampire film, this one turned out to be a lot more fun than anticipated. One of the better features is that it manages to make the vamps something to be feared. Despite being set in a world of romantic vampire-lord, the creatures here are incredibly threatening and much more like traditional vampires, setting up a plan to steal souls, putting more interest in feasting than romanticizing and even openly attacking people to turn them into fellow vampires, making it a lot more savvy in dealing with these issues than would be expected. Even more telling is how much it deals with battling the vamps, managing to contain a lot more battles and confrontations which are a lot more intense, from the big brawl with the pizza-man to the raid on the house party as well as several other pretty big battles in here. These make the film a lot more action-packed and keeps it from being boring, as the darker-themed storyline and investigations also help out and the humor mixes well with the fair amount of suspense for a rather satisfying film. The only real down-side, aside from the lack of on-screen vampire violence, is the rather cheesy nature of this one derived from it's teen-centered approach as the jokes and attitudes towards what are supposedly-frightening figures who are instead treated as comical beings is a bit problematic to take for a more seasoned horror fan, yet strangely makes it a more-than-serviceable entry as a starter-horror feature.Rated Unrated/PG: Violence and children-in-jeopardy.

This Disney Channel Original Movie, I have to say, is a hit. It has a nice plot, good actors, and plausible effects. The characters are lovable. Unlike other Disney Channel Original Movies, there isn't much corny/cheesy content. It may also appeal to the older audience. Some people may find it annoying that it is a parody of Twilight, but I don't and most people wont. So after all, I would recommend this movie to anyone. It's amazing! WARNING: Parents should read the parental guide before allowing your kids to watch this, as it contains a few sexual references and mature content.

The Disney Studios created Wizards Of Waverly Place to take advantage of the Harry Potter popularity, but for their answer to the popularity of the Twilight books they only had to import this film and the series that it spawned from Canada.This film stars Matthew Knight and Atticus Dean Mitchell as a pair of nerd type high school kids who see a lot of strange things going on at their school. But they've got some more immediate and humiliating problems to deal with, at least Knight does.For going out and leaving his little sister unattended his parents decide that he and the sister need a babysitter. But when teen dream Vanessa Morgan shows up, in the words of Shakespeare she's a WOW. But it also turns out that Vanessa is a newly bitten vampire who has to drink some human blood and soon to cement her status among the undead.But where there's one vampire there are many in their middle sized Canadian suburb. There's a huge plot brewing by head teen vampire Joe Dinicol to raise some souls from way back in the counter reformation days when at that time he was a pastor of a church that practiced the black arts. But it also turns out that Mitchell and Knight have some hidden inherited talents that makes it possible for them to fight the vampires here and in the TV series.I have to say that the best role in the film is that played by Cameron Kennedy who is their cheerfully geek type friend Rory. Even after Rory becomes a full fledged vampire, he neither acquires any social graces or really gets into the vampire scene. He stays friends with Knight and Mitchell and gets the best lines and scenes in the film.My Babysitter's A Vampire is a pleasant and amusing enough made for television film which should spawn a series with a decent run of a few years on the Disney Channel here.
