    I cant remember what happens here to be honest but its not bad, nothing special. Carrey's first perhaps? not sure. I do remember the main vampiress, Hutton, being incredibly sexy, and me thinking I would be her vamp slave anyday lol cheesey stuff.

    Awesome 80s soundtrack like 3-speed and various other bands i have never heard of, but really really dig that music. Jim Carey can dance? wow! and he is sooo young its awesome to see that some of his potential is released in that film. Quite a great film if you love Carey from go...( read more)ing to this to the majestic, wow! The film is alright, I wouldn't suggest anyone that did not live in the 80s to watch, but if you liked Nightmare on elm street and you will probably love this. I guess tho if it wasn't for jim carey or lauren hutton i wouldn't have watched this fiilm.

    It was probably meant to be some kind of a parody of a vampire movie, but I totally missed the point... if there is any. Nice coffin collection, anyway.

    From what I remember it was fun to watch. Carrey runs around like a scared little girl and almost makes it with hott vamp

    It's pretty good. As per usual with these 80s films the soundtrack is awesome, probably the best part of the film. There are a handful of good lines, but for a comedy it's quite short on laughs. Jim Carrey is enjoyable in an early role, and Karen Kopins is very nice as his girlfr...( read more)iend.

    Jim Carrey had a real charm and humor above and beyond some of his more recent endevours. He actually looks more than average, and has a more clean-cut young look that suits him well.

    Lauren Hutton and Cleavon Little were hilarious and suited their characters more than well, ...( read more)they screamed of exactness. Cleavon Little had the small yet unique humor that made him an important part of the movie, and Lauren had a sexieness that added to the thrill of the vampiric diferences.

    Karen Kopins was a normal actress but a great dancer.

    I loved the dance offs and coreography of the movie, and the way it was written. The music and direction added to the comic take on one of the scariest subjects in history-- Vampires.

    Brilliant a must watch comedy.
