While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
"Vampires Suck" is a comedy flick which is a full parody of the Twilight Saga and uses its basic plot to build up a series of gags concerning the vampire theme and the mechanisms of this very succesful franchise.What you get here is pretty much Scary Movie with vampires. A huge load of gags, of which some are a bit better, many are just really cheap and obvious. To be fair one has to say, that Twilight delivers quite a lot of ammunition for a movie like this but still I can think of no-one over the age of thirteen who will really have a blast with this film here. I am really not a fanboy of Twilight in any way possible, the cheesiness in this saga is sheer overwhelming. But in the end I have more respect for people producing a cheesy vampire film for teenagers than people who make a bad parody of a movie that often already looks like a bad parody itself.All in all this is something you can watch if you really don't want to think. A few nice gags are hidden between the dozens of others and if you just wish to relax and mock a popular franchise a bit, this might be something for you.
Vampires Suck is undoubtedly an awful movie to watch. It's another "Masterpiece" created by the Horrible movie directors of Friedberg and Seltzer. These guys have no idea how to make anything good, or even how to make anything humorous. They should be banned from the industry from making anything. And this movie is no exception. But why do I give it two stars instead of one? Because though Vampires Suck is a terrible film, its still a better movie than any of the Twilight movies. Yes, BETTER. The Twilight movies are the worst movies I've ever seen. Its mainly because of the horrible characters of Bella, Edward and Jacob who have no decent human qualities. It also ruins the lore of horror fantasy. Because of the Twilight movies, I will never find Vampires or Werewolves interesting ever again. Bottom Line, the Twilight movies are to me the lowest levels cinema can ever sink down to. Vampires Suck is better because it at least know the franchise it's spoofing is already horrible to begin with. Friedberg/Seltzer at least know that Twilight is terrible, so anything they do will be better than Twilight. Don't get me wrong, all of their movies are really bad. I just find them better than Twilight will ever be.
Twilight was one of the most annoying franchises of the last decade, and certainly ripe for parody. Unfortunately, most of its parodies are shallow "comedies" that reference certain scenes, and then insert flatulence jokes and uninspired slapstick in them. That's Vampires Suck (2010) in a nutshell.Random is the word of the day here. Random musical numbers, random celebrities popping up out of nowhere, random fights, random references to other bits of popular culture that have nothing to do with Twilight or vampires. I understand most people think random equals funny, but guess what? It doesn't. It just makes for a boring, frustrating mess of a movie.
With one hand, I can count how many times I have laughed in this movie. This number is one. The one time I laughed was when that black vampire said this:"I got the munchies. You know what can solve it?" "Cheetos?"-random guy"Thanks man. You're alright with me."I like that they focused Twilight a bit more and got people that actually looked like Edward and Bella. But that type of improvement is like saying that you killed one ant that is part of a 10,000 ant colony. This movie references pop culture in no way that is clever, smart, sneaky or even funny. They say a name of a famous person and point off screen, and it cuts to an impersonator of that said person. I bet that the impersonator's resume will only list this movie.I think that the script was written on a small square napkin while in the waiting room when the directors were about to pitch this idea to Fox. This movie is killing cinema. To think that this beat Scott Pilgrim vs the World on its opening day. Scott Pilgrim vs the World had more potential in the opening credits than Vampire Sucks in its entirety. Ignore this movie. Permanently.
