Teenage Vampire

The title says about all I have to say. The film is amateurish. It's TV quality, at best. But then: cute girls, and decent action. Their fights are really not that bad. And they do their own stunts; without cut-aways, stand-ins, and other obvious cheating tricks. Most Hollywood movies will not do that. Even a few Hong Kong kung fu films would use disappointing cuts during fights. If teenage girls can win the Olympics in gymnastics, you can trust them to recite a few martial-arts moves. And these girls do. AND, they're cute. As a film, it's worth maybe 4. But for me, it's an 8.

Teenage Vampire is one of those movies you grew up watching, it's exciting, thrilling, action, and most of all fun. This movie has characters are relatable reminding you of those movies you grew up watching.

This is a movie movie to watch with a date, all friends around together, and family movie night.

The actors are definitely in the *GROWTH* stage of their career, but I thought it was cheesy fun. There were some good satirical moments that I found refreshing after the never ending onslaught of Sensual Vamp movies. I think it will be fun to see some of the main actors grow in their careers and pursue their potential. Some of the one-bit characters were REALLY cringy with their acting, but I found it entertaining imaging the director talking his neighbor into being in this vamp movie. If you plan on watching it, just be prepared for 90 minutes of extreme cheesiness and you may enjoy the experience. That said, I did watch it on a streaming service which displayed it like a blockbuster, so what I got really threw me for a while.

When I sat down to watch the 2020 movie "Teenage Vampire", I must admit that I wasn't really harboring much of any hopes for this turning out to be a particularly great movie, given the title of this movie. But still, with it being a movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to give "Teenage Vampire" a chance.

And as I had initially anticipated, then writers Aaron Lee Lopez and Paul Matthew Lopez didn't really manage to deliver a movie that was entertaining to me. I suppose I was just not the right target audience for a movie such as this 2020 movie.

The movie had a nice enough production value to it and good editing, sure. But the storyline was a swing and a miss in terms of providing me with much entertainment or enjoyment. And truth be told, I made it about halfway through, then I just gave up on it because I was growing more and more bored.

The acting performances in the movie were adequate, but again, there wasn't much in terms of storyline, character gallery or dialogue that appealed to me, so it was difficult to get submerged into the performances put on by the actors and actresses in the movie.

My rating of "Teenage Vampire" lands on a mere four out of ten stars.

It's a fun movie if you enjoy those types of movies not to be taken too serious.
