Zach (Chauncey Leopardi), a 14-year-old boy, loves horror movies. But when he meets an actual vampire named Valentine (Ron Silver) on a deserted subway platform, Zach's penchant for all things horror comes screeching to a halt. Luckily for him, Valentine happens to be a "vampire vegetarian," which means Zach is not on his menu. Escaping to the streets, Zach tells his friends (Natanya Ross, Tony T. Johnson) of his encounter, but they don't believe him until vampires kidnap one of them.

ryan s 1/5. Natanya Ross does a good job and there is some decent gore, but this movie makes no sense, most of the acting is bad, and there are some glaring audio issues. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A very cheesy movie that eases you into kind of liking it, but the acting is awful for the most part. The movie is also very childish. It made me think I was watching a kids TV program. Overall not that good. There are plenty other bad movies out there that are so bad they're good. This movie is just bad and unpleasant. It is very skippable. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member A triumph of children's horror! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie drags, it should have been much more compact. They were obviously trying to rip off Tales from the Crypt and Goosebumps with this. I really liked the vampires though, some of them were amazing for a 'kiddie' horror film. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member A surprisingly good teen horror movie, with an excellent perform by Ron Silver. The story was pretty decent and it had a nice pace to this. Decent acting all the way around, even though it had a low budget feel to it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Predictably fun, mild scares suitable for tweeners and with an understated performance by Silver to keep the grown-ups entertained. He's restrained and respectful towards his child co-stars, a seeming rarity in contemporary kid's movies. Unfortunately, the rest of the adult cast is OTT and goofy, excepting a decent bookending cameo by Craven. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
