John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter Cheesy but chipper vampire comedy has modest charms. Nov 7, 2012 Full Review John Anderson Variety In an era transfixed by zombies and assorted other ghouls, Vamps is a refreshing change of pace. Nov 6, 2012 Full Review Mark Olsen Los Angeles Times "Vamps" is mostly a misfire, but Heckerling still shows enough flashes of wit and wisdom that she remains hard to entirely dismiss. Rated: 2.5/5 Nov 1, 2012 Full Review Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) 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. Feb 13, 2024 Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed 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. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 25, 2022 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com 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.

Blu B It would work so much better if it was well....consistently funny rather than once every 7-8 jokes. The premise is clever and has lots of potential for a dark comedy with commentary about age and trends through different time periods especially with "The more things change the more they stay the same" wih a Rom-Com Hororr twist. However this has so much working against it. This has such low amatuer production value and looks like a Disney Channel movie. The lighting is so amatuer and it's shocking giving the all star cast this has behind it. The jokes just fall very flat and honestly some of the comedic delivery is kind of off too. It's kind of all surface level stuff and if it is clever it usually just isn't delivered that funny. The direction is pretty basic stuff also but I'm willing to cut that a bit of slack giventhe clear budget constraints. The music is also very forgettable and not used much half the time. The other big issue is Goody & Stacy's stories really diverg after we meet them even though they're roommates and it ends up feeling very jumpy cutting between the two. It also can't quite figure out how to mix the Dracula/Vampire cliche material with the Rom-Com elements on top of making it funny. Everything overall is pretty medicore here which is a miracle given how many missfires there are here. It's a testament to how strong an underlying idea this is. This really should be revisited by a director like James Gunn or someone who has good comedic touch. Most could skip this though. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/22/24 Full Review Catherine R I'm only giving it a 4 out if 5 bc I didn't like the rats. I don't like mice or rats or any rodent species. But I love Alicia Silverstone and Krysten Ritter and of course Sigourney Weaver. She killed it as a villain. And the guy who "Inconceivable" in the Princess Bride, he was awesome too. I love how Goody got to see her past before she, well, ppassed. I love how Stacy was so confident in her undead skin and how she and Goody managed to live their lives among the "day players" as they're called in the film. So cute and so wholesome. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/21/24 Full Review Audience Member It's bad on purpose but it does have a wholesome ending Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/22/24 Full Review Boudicea R This has a great cast and it reminds me of goofy vampire movies like Dracula Dead and Loving it or Vampire in Brooklyn. If you want a reprieve from the horrors of the world you could do far worse things with an 1hr and 32mins. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/19/24 Full Review Desan D Combine worst chick flicks(think cheapest hallmark movies) with a unfunny comedy movie. World building is horrible. Vampires are faster than Flash, stronger than Superman, can clim buildings like Spiderman and they can fly but they really scared of an oldman with a crossbow, Why? As romance sense two character saw each other than immediately fall in love. A succesfull Chickflick/comedy is all about build but you don't have that in here Alicia Silverstone try her best but not enough to save this movie. Let it die in its coffin. There is much better movies out there. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/31/24 Full Review Ryan S Well, I loved this movie, Very Campy, just a good time, great cast.
