REEL CRITIC

“The Little Vampire” is about a young boy named Tony Thompson who

moves from San Diego to Scotland because of his dad’s job.

When he goes to school, everyone teases him because of his obsession

with vampires.

One night, a little vampire named Rudolph flies into Tony’s room,

trying to escape from the vampire slayer. They soon become friends.

Tony joins Rudolph and his family of vampires on their quest to find

the amulet and break the curse of the vampires.

Will they find the amulet and break the spell so the vampires will

finally become human?

The movie was just in time for Halloween. Some parts were scary and

some were humorous. I would recommend this movie to kids because of the

characters, but specifically not to teens.

The characters are interesting. The family of vampires includes two

aristocratic parents, two totally opposite-behaving sons and a lovesick

daughter.

Rudolph, one of the sons, was outgoing and very serious in trying to

find the amulet. Tony and the daughter also wanted to find the amulet.

These characters weren’t scary like normal vampires; they were kind.

This movie is “fangtastic” for little kids. My younger brother was

especially amused by the flying cows.

For me, “The Little Vampire” was too childish and not sophisticated

enough for teenagers and adults.

“The Little Vampire” is rated PG for some mild peril.
