Editorial Review: From Amazon.com: The Little Vampire is excellently acted and great to look at. Stuart Little's Jonathan Lipnicki carries, on his pint-sized shoulders, his every scene as 8-year-old Tony, befriender of vampires, and the Scottish setting lends itself nicely to spookiness. But where this video earns most points is in the plot department. A continent away from his native California, Tony's having a tough time making new friends when a band of vagabond vampires enters his life through his bedroom window. The encounter seems pure coincidence at first, but then the scary truth surfaces: Tony, though he's not a vampire himself, has "sympathy for our kind," as the dad of the bat-linked brood puts it. Visions of vampire happenings from generations past invade the third-grader's consciousness, and they hold the key to the clan's current gypsy-like predicament. Through his clairvoyance and, by extension, the discovery of a long-lost amulet, the mostly benevolent bloodsuckers are able to reclaim their rightful status as proper cave dwellers in their homeland. Clueless-parent predicaments abound and are cleverer than most--Tony's mom and dad smirk at their son's vampire-obsessed imagination until the cape-draped heads of the clan drop by for a visit--and the gang's adventures eluding a bumbling vampire hunter are genuinely chuckleworthy. At-home Twizzler munchers ages 8 and older won't soon tire of this charmer of a Transylvanian transplant. --Tammy La Gorce Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Not a children's movieI took my little nine year old brother to see this dud. What a terrible movie. I was expecting a light hearted children's film and instead what I got was a mean-spirited adventure in Christian bashing with scenes that have no place whatsoever in a film aimed at a young audience. The producer's bigotry against Christians is evident right from the start in its depiction of the so-called "vampire hunter". He is easily the most disturbing character in the film. For starters his oversized crucifix looks like it was produced at a Las Vegas neon sign factory and his vehicle is a nightmarish cross between a mac truck and a steel mill. If this was meant to be funny, believe me, it wasn't. The worst scene that ...

Rating: - NOT just for kids....Although this movie will definitely appeal to children because the hero is only eight years old and has some great adventures, it has enough wit to keep older kids and adults entertained as well. The Thompson family (mom, dad and son, Tony) is living in Scotland while dad designs a golf course for Lord McAshton. Tony is having a hard time fitting in and making new friends and begins having really vivid bad dreams about vampires. Then one night, the dreams turn to reality when a small vampire invades Tony's room, trying to hide from a Vampire hunter, intent on ridding the countryside of all it's 'undead' inhabitants. Fortunately, these 'undead' are not really interested in munching on the human population all that much. They ... Read More: Rating: - adorable movie!Yes, it is about vampires and adorable! There are some cute scenes and phrases that adults appreciate, too. My kids love it and so do I. Rating: - Family Fun in a Vampire MovieThis film is geared to be a family film and the end result is wonderful. Little Tony has long been fascinated by vampires and when the family moves to Scotland he meets one! As it turns out, the vampires only want to be human again and it's up to Tony and his newfound vampire friend to end the ancient curse of vampirism. This movie is a lot of fun, complete with flying vampire cows. If you like light vampire comedy this one should make you smile. |
