6.5/10
This was long before the show which I never got into but I loved the movie. The concept itself is so cheesy and silly that it being taken seriously is inherently funny to me. I loved the vampires as well and this film didn’t worry about dipping into actual horror at times. Luke Perry and David Arquette were awesome as Pike and Benny countering the poppy superficiality of Buffy’s vibe.
Loved Kristy Swanson (yup) and her Valley Girl approach to vampire slaying. Hated that this movie got lost and forgotten behind the show.
