The Vampire Next Door

I started watching this and couldn't believe it was filmed in 2024. It felt like a cheap low budget movie from the 80s. The actors are so bland and monotone. Nothing about this film is creative or funny. It's just a bunch of nonsense that a child could have written. The main actor seemed like he was smirking the whole time and being playful. I wouldnt recommend this movie even it was free. One a lighter note the girls are pretty and one of them looks just like Kim Kardashian. It's her replica! Don't waste your time. Don't bother if you're into cool vampire shows. I just wish they would come out with some thing smart and worth watching!

Stumbling upon the 2024 movie "The Vampire Next Door" by random luck here in 2024, and never having heard about it, I opted to sit down and watch it, given the fact that it is a new vampire-themed horror movie that I hadn't already seen. And I was sort of hoping that given the movie's title and synopsis, then maybe it would be a movie somewhat akin to "Fright Night".

I have to say that the movie's cover/poster was cheesy, so very, very cheesy, and it felt like the movie might have belonged in the "True Blood" universe, or that kind of teenage girl vampire fantasy setting.

The narrative in "The Vampire Next Door" was rather slow paced and uneventful, and that made sitting through the movie somewhat of a struggle and an ordeal. And I have to say that I was close to giving up on watching it more than once throughout the course of the 110 minutes that the movie ran for. So writer and director Sean King didn't exactly impress me with his 2024 horror movie "The Vampire Next Door".

And I am not fully sure of what genre of movie Sean King was aiming for here. Was it supposed to be an actual horror movie, or perhaps a horror comedy? Either way, the attempt wasn't particularly successful, especially since the movie was light in the horror department and rather lacking in the comedy department.

I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, but it should be noted that the actors and actresses on the cast list actually put on good performances and brought the characters and story to life on the screen in a good way.

The movie could have benefitted tremendously for a more upscaled narrative and also a more effective trim in the editing room, because running at nearly two hours and with so precious little happening in the narrative, just didn't exactly make for a grand viewing experience.

There was a little bit of blood and violence in the movie, which sort of did help to keep the movie somewhat afloat. But it just wasn't nowhere enough to sustain nearly two hours of virtually nothing happening and all of the movie's shortcomings.

My rating of "The Vampire Next Door" lands on a four out of ten stars.

After reading the reviews, I really wasn't expecting a lot... It is a bit 'B' movie'ish but it certainly wasn't the worst film I've seen... It wasted and hour and a half while I was waiting for the washing to tumble... Girls were attractive even if the story wasn't the most original... Think a low budget Fright Night... Maybe withba bigger budget it may have been better but I thought it was fine as it was - Not every film can be a massive blockbuster... Sure there aren't going to be any 'Oscars' won in this film... But it is quite engaging... Go on - Give it a go on a dull Sunday afternoon.... You won't be disappointed... Just don't set your expectations too high...

Yeah, B Movie Vampire with all the chringe you can't handle.. Not much more to really say about this... Came accross it and thought it might be one of those B movies that is so bad, its acctually good, Sharknado, Sharknado2, Sharknado3, Sharknado4, Sharknado (and however much more they squeeze into that series to death), meg (but not a B movie, but made to look like one), etc... Don't go in with high hopes and see it for what it is, pretty bad acting/directing/script/etc...

Plus, anyone see anything suspissious about the cover??? It looks just like the entire TrueBlood Series on HBO posters. Same thing, the white figure/charector with fangs out and blood dripping down and tongue wipping along their lips.

I love comedy horror. It's a tradition between my husband & I to enjoy these movies together for a laugh. The cheesier the better. I never like to be critical of anyone's work. No matter what, I like to consider peoples art. The storyline was predictable & would've been fun but due to the vapid & preposterous behavior of the male characters it became a bit hard to take. I understand wanting to make strong female characters but do we have to make the males in the film downright silly & buffoonish? It didn't/ doesn't come off as comedic because every male character in the film lacks intellect...
