Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
elainehowie The little vampire is not a serious film and you do have to accept that when you're watching it. It is genuinely funny and shows a new side to vampires. The child actors are pretty good as well as the adults. It is overall a rewatchable and charming film.
TheLittleSongbird I was surprised at how much I liked The Little Vampire. It isn't exceptional, but in no way is it terrible. Some of the special effects are a little ropey, while I liked the story in general there may be those who may find the idea of having an American hero in a film set in Scotland a little contrived and I think it could have been a tad longer. That said, the costumes are very nice and the scenery is a delight, as is the cinematography. People may find it rather bleak, but I liked the bleakness, I think it suited the film very well. The film is well directed and written, with some witty lines and a very amusing running gag about... wait for it... vampire cows. The acting is also surprisingly good. Jonathan Lipnicki is really cute, Rollo Weeks is charming and bright, Richard E. Grant and Alice Krige are campy delights as the parents while Jim Carter is suitably unhinged as the slayer. Another thing, The Little Vampire is a rare film that doesn't patronise its audience. Overall, very enjoyable, while not being the best movie I have ever seen. 7/10 Bethany Cox
tedg Sometimes the way a film is structured, the story is so automatic, so determined that all you can do is watch the actors. The most interesting time for me is when the actors are doing something remarkable — some representational, emotional gymnastics, or some collaborative kinematics.But most times its just as it is here, you watch the actors not because they are doing anything interesting, but that they were in interesting projects. The nature of the enterprise here (vampires, kids) references stories outside the movie, so this character- by-reference idea is natural.Pamela Gidley is the human mom. She was "the girl" in Figgis' ambitious project about space fugues: "Leibestraum."Alice Krige is the vampire mom. Fantastically attractive, she has been in both a Maddin and Quay Brothers film, both in roles that you will never forget. Here she is made up as a vampire version of Queen Elizabeth, modeled more on Jenny Runacre's Elizabeth than the portraits or more conventional looks. Check the shape of the hairline to see that yes, this is Derek Jarman's Elizabeth turned from counterculture punk to vampire queen.Richard Grant was (and will always be) Withnail, and is also burned in my mind as interloper of the most outrageous orrery in film in "Hudson Hawk."And hey, here's Anna Popplewell as the preteen love interest. We just saw her in an equally vacuous movie ("Wardrobe2") now with breasts as the teen love interest. Her development and carriage seems worlds away.How the mind wanders.Ted's Evaluation -- 1 of 3: You can find something better to do with this part of your life.
Boombooms2003 When I first saw the movie, I thought it was the cutest thing. I'm 17 years old and I'm not ashamed to say that I really like this movie. It had a cool plot that made it not so much of a kid movie. And it really shows you can make friends in even the weirdest conditions. Movies like this, allows you to sit back and forget about the stress of everyday and you can let the little kid inside you take over full of imagination and amazement. Really this is an excellent movie who need to escape without really escaping!
