JAM Reviews Vampires Suck from 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment

Vampires Suck: Blu-ray/Digital Copy Combo: Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment
Review by JAM

Taken from the pages of Twilight and turned into something else completely, Vampires Suck follows the story of the lost soul Becca Crane (Jenn Proske) and her ethereal Edward Sullen (Matt Lanter) in a love affair for the ages and the laughs. Much in the vein of the Scary Movie franchise, Vampire Sucks spoofs the story of the Twilight crew while maintaining pieces of the storyline from Twilight and Twilight: New Moon. And the DVD and Blu-ray Digital Copy Combo pack each come with the theatrical version of the movie and the unrated extended version.

From the wild pack of Were- Chihuahuas to the recast actress joke to Old Man Scully (David DeLuise) getting some unexpected shots in, Vampires Suck tries to keep the viewer guessing while spoofing an established phenomenon at the same time. It is an interesting spoof for Twilight fans that can laugh at the craziness and for Twilight haters that want to see the movies made fun of. So if you fit into those catagories (and it seems much of the world does) take a look at Vampires Suck.

JAMS Ink on Vampires Suck

For those who are not Twilight fans, Jenn Proske’s portrayal of Becca is spot-on in a manner of speaking. Bella in Twilight has the deep in thought stare, which is mildly amusing the first couple times Kristen Stewart uses it, but slightly less enjoyable after seeing Bella stare off yet again and again. Jenn spoofs it well, so that it is so over-the-top that it is fun to watch.

Matt Lanter’s Edward is interesting as well, as he has the over-the-top “I’m beautiful” look that Robert Pattinson perfected in Twilight. Throw in a scene on Becca’s intoxicating scent and the vampire’s sparkle/bling and you have a vampiric spoof. Add Chris Riggi as Jacob the Were- Chihuahua with a crazy hairy chest and you have the wolf side of the story as well. And finally, just a pinch of Diedrich Bader (one of my favorite actors from the Drew Carey show and Batman from the Batman: The Brave and the Bold cartoon) and you have a movie that is at least worth checking out. So give a watch and see what you think.

EXTRAS

Deleted Scenes - 5 scenes that really were worth being on the cutting room floor. Mexican Vampires is a modification of the Canadian invaders that the movie seems to focus on.

Gag Reel – Filled with outtakes and mess-ups, especially funny are the out of their control trains and planes that seem to invade a number of scenes.

Vampires Suck from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment stalks its way onto shelves, waiting for you to suck it up on November 30, 2010. Grab a copy and let the sparkly vampires guide your way.
