Critics Consensus

The Little Vampire can't seem to find the right pitch, with its muddled, jumpy script and badly executed mix of cuteness and fright.

Vampire cows provide comic relief and many of the scares in this respectfully dark yet optimistic story about a lonely child who befriends a vampire.

Time Out

Much of the film's success is down to the costume design, the novel SFX and the mildly foreboding atmosphere of the mist enshrouded Scottish countryside.

One Guy's Opinion

The Little Vampire is hardly a children's classic, and it will doubtlessly be more at home after it hits the video shelves.

Rated: C+

It's an occupational hazard that you actually have to try to think about movies like this, which just get weirder and weirder the more you consider them.

Film Quips Online

Lipnicki has learned how to make cute faces, but his delivery is formulaic and without emotion.
