Vampires Suck hit UK theaters this weekend. It is a parody of the popular Twilight Saga movies Twilight and New Moon. After watching the various trailers that are available on Youtube, I thought that it may be worth a watch. However, i was soon to find out that i had been horribly misled by clever marketing scheme's employed by the production company.
At the time of posting, the film has been out for just 3 days, and already has the abysmal rating of 3.3 / 10 on IMDB. Dont get me wrong, I don't always agree with the ratings on IMDB, but this one is correct.
The film starts with a scene featuring the ever popular "Team Jacob" & "Team Edward" (slogans that have plagued Facebook and Myspace since the release of New Moon) I will admit, that I found this scene rather amusing. However, from that point on, the film spirals rapidly down. The film is incredibly mind numbing and tries far to hard to be funny. Midway through the screening, I found myself on the verge of falling asleep.
For a brief moment I thought there may still be a saving grace; when in the final fifteen minutes or so of the film Ken Jeong (well known for his roles in The Hangover, Role Models & Knocked Up) appeared on screen. However, I was sadly mistaken when his character went on to do nothing of significance and ended up trying to hard to be funny.
For anyone that is planning to watch this film, I would strongly recommend against it, why not watch a decent parody such as the original Scary Movie film?
