John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter 11/07/2012
Cheesy but chipper vampire comedy has modest charms. Go to Full Review
John Anderson Variety 11/06/2012
In an era transfixed by zombies and assorted other ghouls, Vamps is a refreshing change of pace. Go to Full Review
Mark Olsen Los Angeles Times 11/01/2012
2.5/5
"Vamps" is mostly a misfire, but Heckerling still shows enough flashes of wit and wisdom that she remains hard to entirely dismiss. Go to Full Review
Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) 02/13/2024
I enjoyed the hell out of its ambitions, both in terms of the filmmaking (at one point there are Ray Harryhausen style skeletons!) and it’s political and societal satire. Go to Full Review
Emilie Black Cinema Crazed 08/25/2022
3.5/5
The main takeaway here is that for fans of her style, fans of Alicia Silverstone and Krysten Ritter, this is a fun watch and sometimes, fun is all you need. Go to Full Review
Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com 08/05/2019
Nearly its entire running time rests on the antics of the two leads, who manage to remain an entertaining duo, even though they're really only being passed around from one satirical set piece to another. Go to Full Review

Jim W @RT27818955 5d If the idea of a fun, star-strewn, modern-esque cheesy vampire film with this odd-ball cast intrigues you in any way, you'll likely love it. Otherwise probably best steer clear. Tongue-in-cheek, charming, ridiculous, with a great cast who play it perfectly campily, without the spoof. See more Melissa M @Lisey Apr 27 Once again Amy Heckerling has come up with a fun and campy movie. If she is never received an award for best director she definitely deserves one. This is the most fun campy vampy film since Once Bitten & Love At First Bite. Every vampire movie has to have a Van Helsing in it. It wouldn't be complete without one. Wallace Shawn is perfect for the role. The meet-cute how Joey & Stacy meet is vampa-rific. Every time Taylor Negron is in a film that's usually for a brief second. But it's always the funniest 1/2 second of the movie. Malcolm McDowell always plays offbeat characters. His portrayal of Vlad the impaler doesn't bite. Sigourney Weaver is always fun to watch. Hollywood has it Scream Queens. But she is the queen of camp. She starred in memorable A-list campy films like Paul, Dust Bunny, Holes , Galaxy Quest See more Julie K @RT77356885 05/05/2025 It’s great fun . A story about friendship, a cult classic ! See more alan g @agenser 03/25/2025 Over the top vampire film/comedy but a lot of fun. Karen Ritter and Alicia Silverstone as vampire party girls are cute and sexy. Much better than reviews indicate. Poignant ending both sad and happy which is difficult to pull off but somehow it does. See more Rylann C @RT57187665 03/23/2025 Listen everyone seems to be hating, but I actually thought it was pretty fire like it’s obviously not peak cinema, but it’s a 10 out of 10 for what it is, which is a silly movie about vampires See more Chad T @Chadoh 01/28/2025 It’s a really cute & silly movie, but Ritter, Silverstone, Weaver, Shawn, Stevens & the rest of the cast make it work & make it fun. Hats off to McDowell, Lewis & Kirk. See more Read all reviews
