       When I bought this DVD, I didn’t realise it was a vampire film. That’s OK, vampires are cool.

       Can be cool. But this is so macho, so juvenile, so embarrassingly boring that it’s hard to even continue watching.

       Maybe it worked with kids in the 80s but now it’s just lame, the dumbest vampire film I’ve seen. 

1* of 5.
