A sense of anachronism is what provides the film with its melancholy heart. Read full review

IndieWire Eric Kohn

A surprisingly enjoyable tongue-in-cheek New York comedy from "Clueless" director Amy Heckerling, Vamps teeters on the brink of not quite working and yet still routinely lands its laughs. Read full review

John Anderson

Nov 7, 2012

Heckerling always manages to get her finger firmly on the pulse of the contemporary moment, and while her club-hopping heroines may be undead, they serve as adorable metaphors for what the filmmaker sees as a zombified moment in cultural history. Read full review

Make no mistake, Vamps is mostly a misfire, but Heckerling still shows enough flashes of wit and wisdom that she remains hard to entirely dismiss. Don't bury that coffin just yet. Read full review

John DeFore

Charming at times but surprisingly cheap-feeling given the cast Heckerling has assembled. Read full review

Melissa Anderson

Nov 6, 2012

Reteaming with Silverstone, the alpha matchmaker of "Clueless," for Vamps, Heckerling uses the actress as the mouthpiece for her complaints about how dumb everyone is today. The writer-director's nostalgia feeds the laziest type of cultural critique: never piercing, just grumpy. Read full review

Vamps is commendable, even moving, as a raw-nerve confession of anachronism - but it's also what keeps this strained satire from drawing any real blood. Read full review

I love this movie! Alicia Silverstone and Krysten Ritter are so cute and funny! Plus it is really smart and heartbreaking. Alot more than you'd expect from ads.

I was utterly surprised at just how much I enjoyed this movie. It's not good and and has allot of corny moments, but none of which that ruin it.

Don't expect a grade A film, but watch it expecting a warm, heart felt comedy that really seems to have fun with itself.… Expand

The film is obviously not a masterpiece, but is far to be bad and unwatchable: taking into account the other films of writer-director Amy Heckerling (Look Who is Talking etc.) it is not expected something worthy of any nomination.

The movie is a light romantic comedy, and unpretentious movie, about two vampires, one older (1840) and other "younger" (1990) who live together and their adventures and romantic conflicts in nowdays New York.

It features an interesting cast with Alicia Silverstone and Krysten Ritter in the lead roles, besides other known actors such as Sigourney Weaver and Malcolm McDowell (Clockwork Orange The - any movie with him to me is worth watching). The performances are of a light-hearted comedy, with a mocking tone.

The film's visual effects are at least basic and do not know whether they were deliberately forced to refer the B horror movies, with hours that they are hilarious...

The story unfolds gradually with a meeting between Krysten and another person who I will not name (spoiler) and this event turns to be the main line of the story until a cute end, typical of those light romantic comedies. The jokes are good and funny, but not hilarious.

Ends up being a good fun to watch with your wife / fiancee / girlfriend, off course, if she likes this genre of movie.… Expand

Sadly this film is a satire about modern culture and technology. The special effects budget also seems to have been slashed last minute and the star studded cast add nothing to the plot.

Awful and a huge waste of time.... It is completely boring and a bad replica of a would be vamp romantic comedy. Watced the first 1/2 hour and the rest on FF. Avoid it at all costs
