Vamps (2012)

Vamps is a chick flick. It would most likely get a five star review at a Taylor Swift concert. Alicia Silverstone and Krysten Ritter play two vampires in the modern dating era. Alicia dates back to the 1840's and has trouble adjusting to modern gadgets, while Krysten is at home with them. Both of the women develop love interests. Alicia meets an old boyfriend (Richard Lewis) from the 1960's while Krysten falls for a man named Van Helsing (Dan Stevens) who has a father who hunts vampires.The Vamps are part of a support group who only drink animal blood. The jokes consist of mostly lame vampire humor such as women attempting to apply make-up without a mirror. There is one scene where Alicia is looking through pictures of old boyfriends. One of the pictures is Edgar Allen Poe. There were some scenes that worked and were funny. Unfortunately too much of the film had humor and scenes that didn't make it for a mature audience. Definitely only a rental. A sometimes fun film you might want to see once.Parental Guide: 1-f-bomb, implied sex, no nudity.

As I begin myself by saying that I have finished watching this movie on 12/22/2015 on Tuesday at around 11:50 pm. As I have not watched more than 5 or 6 vampire related movies so far but Let me tell you that this movie is little bit or quite different than What I have seen before in Vampire related movies. So as the rating suggest 5.1 stars on IMDb.com , according to me this movie deserves more than that so I have given it 8******** stars.This movie has all the elements of comedy, romance and friendship in an adequate proportion to make it work as an entertainment package . This movie is not even a bit boring from any angle.This movie is under rated on IMDb.com according to me.As I have read on the discussion board on IMDb.com about the quality of special effects used in this movie is bad, yes, it is bad according to 2012 level, but if you will follow the time period used in the movie than the special effects get justified .Oh, one more thing follow the different time periods (timelines) given in the movie (at some places) and everything will fit into its place and I'm not going to reveal anything about the movie and just want to add that both the leading actress were really great and amazing in their role. So, just watch it and entertain yourself and I'm sure of one thing that the movie is funny and romantic.This is my third review for a movie on IMDb.com and I'm glad that I wrote my feeling about it.For me its 8********.

God, that was awful. Started so-so and went downhill. I was doing other stuff in the middle and I also literally fell asleep.As if that wasn't enough, the movie features some of the WORST visual effects I've seen in years. The "highlight" is at the 76 min mark, you simply have to watch it - you'll think we're in the 1960's and Ray Harryhausen is still doing stop motion. One can only justify it as an actual homage to the old films, with in-camera effects (the sofa thing at the club) and stop motion, I don't know, but it was out of place and looked horrible.What a waste of Sigourney Weaver, Malcolm McDowell and especially Kristen Johnston which was given a few dialog lines of an extra trying to make her way into the film industry.

I wouldn't call this a scary movie, yes you might get a few jumps of shock but honestly it is not that bad for kids over 10 years old to watch this film. Anyways the movie was more like a slapstick nice comedy then you think. I suppose Amy Heckerling just wanted to keep it nice and sweet since Alison Silverstone and Wallace Shawn were involved with the whole lot. It's surprising that Wallace actually used curse words, part of my childhood ruined. Well duh, it's not that bad, he is still a great icon for my generation, he deserves credit like since I don't see him much in films these days. Alison honestly looks well and to be honest, she will always be that young teenage girl from Clueless in my eyes. She's always the stunning lady.I know Justin Kirk is way older then me but I thought he was pretty darn sexy in this for some reason as his character Vadim. He really should've played as Dracula instead of Malcolm McDowell to be honest. Oh by the way, be prepared for blood if you're watching this film.
