Vampire University (2011)
Wayne Gretzky (no relation) is a vampire who can't grow his teeth. His impotence began when he inadvertently killed Mary Lipinsky, the love of his life, 300 years ago. To take his mind off the pain, he teaches college history - who better? Attempting to regain his full power, he enlists help from his friend and colleague, Dr. Levine (Gary Cole). Nothing works until a new semester brings freshman Chris Keller. She's a dead ringer for Mary and they have a lurid affair, while rumors fly around the campus. But it all sours when he turns Chris into a vampire and her newfound bloodlust spins out of control in a bloody rampage, making the rumors a little too real.

    I've seen worse with more stars.

    I don't think it was made to get awards. And you shouldn't go into it, thinking it did.

    Everyone, especially Gary Cole, seem to be having a great time and it transfers over to the viewer. Well for me it did. I enjoyed watching it and was more entertained by this film than I do with most modern comedies. The only problem that I can see is that it doesn't know whether it want's to be a vampire spoof or just a vampire comedy or a teen vampire comedy.

    Drive a stake through the heart

    I don't know what I expected from this. The vampire genre has been dying for a long time and after the Twilight Sagas and the True bloods have urinated on the grave even the comedy vampire can be laid to rest after this turgid effort. Few laughs and terrible performances (I can't call it acting as there wasn't any in the whole sorry piece - even the usually excellent Gary Cole is phoning it in here) from an entirely charisma free cast. I watched this while lying in bed due to a bad knee injury - I can assure you the pain of my knee ligaments snapping was preferable to being put through this again. Still others out there might like it.

    A mix between American Pie and Buffy, nice.

    I like the new vampire movies, so this one was on my list. It's nothing like Twilight, just saying (I liked Twilight, but I know there are a lot of people who are not very fond of the whole shiny-vampire-romance). This is definitely nothing like it. I did read the review that was written here on IMDb, and so I did not expect much of it, but it was a nice movie. I had a couple of laughs, definitely did not waste my time, and there are some pretty nasty things going on, made it interesting. Couldn't help but thinking it was kinda like a mix between American Pie and Buffy. So if you like fantasy, bloodsucking hot teenage girls & bad jokes - watch it.

    Don't expect much, but you'll probably get a bit more

    It's a perfectly fine movie. I hate when people critic movies so harshly for no reason at all. I went to the 'Forrest Gump' IMDb and saw the pompous things people wrote about it, and I just can't imagine why you need to be cynical SO MUCH that you are mean about light-hearted movies like Forrest and obviously silly movies like Vamp U. I just don't understand what people are looking for out of a movie with a college girl's boobs as the film cover.

    If you are expect nothing, then you'll pleasantly find it's actually got pretty solid comedy, especially if you don't mistake the purposeful awkwardness as bad acting. If you are sick of browsing Netflix for two hours only to end up watching ANOTHER documentary about lions or history, just watch this.

    Just Don't Think Too Much About It!

    Vamp U is an Indie comedy about a history professor named Wayne Gretzky, who is also a vampire. When Gretzky accidentally bites one of his students, things spiral out of control as the campus becomes overwhelmed with female vampires. Overall, it's a fun little film as long as you don't think too much about it. The cast was also pretty good, all things considered. I love the character of Wayne Gretzky. I had a professor who acted just like Gretzky when I was in college. He had the same mannerisms and everything (except he wasn't a vampire, I think), which made this film funnier to me. Also, I loved Alexis Knapp in this film. She stole the show in whatever scene she was in. Don't get me wrong. This isn't a perfect film. There are a lot of things that don't make sense. But if you need an escape from reality or just want a fun watch, this is the movie for you.
