Fran Rubel Kuzui's 1992 tongue-in-cheek vampire comedy is sugarcoated horror, an unusual mix of the cute and scary, with a splash of postmodern pop nonsense to give culture critics something to think about. Kristy Swanson plays a Valley Girl who learns she belongs to a line of ancient vampire killers. After training under the watchful eye of a mentor (Donald Sutherland), she becomes a spandex-wearing, kung-fu kicking, stake-stabbing babe and the mortal enemy of a narcissistic master vampire (Rutger Hauer). The accent is all on cheery attitude, though the action can be as authentically unnerving as any other halfway decent monster movie. Paul Reubens, formerly Pee-wee Herman, has a small role as Hauer's fanged familiar. --Tom Keogh

Did not stand the test of time, much better in my memory (2007-02-11)  I remembered this fondly as a great campy movie with the best death scene ever. Watching it now, I realize I saw this a long time ago and my memory of it is better then the original. From horrible acting that isn't horrible enough to be funny, horrible sound quality that is near inexcusable, editing that created more holes then Tim Hortons, and actors in their 30s playing High School Teenagers. It all should have been horribly amusing, but no it was just horribly bad. There's still some funny stuff, but overally this moves not even bad enough to be good. The only thing that gives this more then one star is PeeWee's performance and the fact that Ben Afleck is in this movie (how many people noticed that!)
The one and true Buffy! (2004-06-20)  I can't really say it's better than the show, for I haven't watched the show. The only info I've heard is from friends and family. I can tell you, without a doubt, that I like Kristy Swanson more than Sarah Gellar. Whenever I hear the name Buffy, I think of Kristy. I like Sarah Gellar in many of her movies, but she just isn't Buffy to me. I would watch a show if someone paid/lend for it, because I can't get TV reception. But I don't buy stuff I'm unfamiliar with, especially when it's fifty dollars. And that's all I've got to say about that.
The Bad Buffy (2004-06-04) Buffy the Vampire Slayer is definetly not as successful as it's counterpart T.V. series but it served up a pretty well rounded story.The characters were fairly likeable.Joss Whedon is very creative and intelligant ; I give him thumbs up for trying something new.I just kinda felt weird after watching it.I guess I expected to much from it.If you watch it ; thinking it will be sucky you probably won't feel as bad.Luke Perry did a pretty good job with Kristy Swanson who got very annoying after an hour and a half.The plot was really good but they didn't use it the right way.The vampires seemed to fake and when Buffy staked them they did not turn to dust; I always enjoyed that from the T.V. series.Check this one out only if you have nothing better to do.Blonde, bouncy Buffy is your typical high school cheerleader - her goal is to "marry Christian Slater and die" and nothing gets in her way when it's time to shop.But all that changes when a strange man informs her she's been chosen by ill fate to kill vampires.With the help of a romantic rebel, Buffy is soon spending school nights protecting L.A. from Lothos, The Vampire King, his sidekick, Lefty, and their determined gang of bloodsuckers.It's everything you'd expect from a teen queen in the valley. "Not bad but pales to the terrific TV show."-- Gerry Shamray, SUN NEWSPAPERS OF CLEVELAND
Not as Good, But Still Original (2004-05-30)  It's easy to bag out Kristy Swanson in the role of Buffy after many years of watching Sarah M Gellar, but you have to admit that the girl had talent, looks & the physical fittness to make a good slayer.Many of the reviews have bagged out this film in relation to the series, however it did lay the ground work for the story and convince a network to green light the series which has made them millions.The film itself has some good moments and a sense of humour.If you are a die hard fan you should check it out simply to have the story which leads into the pilot episode and it wouldn't hurt to check out creepy old Don Sutherland as a watcher.The film does have a simple finale, but on the bright side it comes to an end, unlike many of the open doors the series leaves.Another great aspect is the cover of Oingo Boingo's 'We close our eyes', which The Bangles lead singer Susanna Hoffs does for the closing credits (unfortunately spoken over however).
Nothing too horrible (2004-05-22) While I kept being tempted to yell either "YOU ARE NOT BUFFY, AND YOU WILL NEVER BE BUFFY!" or "YOU ARE NOT SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR, AND YOU WILL NEVER BE SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR!" at the TV, I guess I have to let it slid somewhat because the movie came first. Some of the jokes seem too dumb to be Buffyish (when the vampire won't die it borders on Naked Gunish), but I thought it was o.k. One question that kept running through my mind is this "Who would win if the old Buffy fought the new Buffy?" I know that may sound like heresy, even the season 1 new Buffy would slaughter this Buffy, but if you remember Angel's flashback to when he first saw her, she wasn't THAT much better. I say give this Buffy more time to train and you might have had a contest.
