In BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, a fully accessorised L.A. high school cheerleader (Kristy Swanson) is informed by a mysterious stranger (Donald Sutherland) that she is destined to battle vampires. Soon she's wreaking havoc on a local chapter of bloodsuckers. But when the top vampire (Rutger Hauer) vows revenge, it totally fouls up her social schedule. This film, featuring a script by BUFFY mastermind Joss Whedon, is the forerunner to the popular television series.

Clueless meets Dracula in this engagingly silly, yet knowing, horror comedy that deserves cult status. Kristy Swanson is cheerfully dim-witted as LA teenager Buffy, who's surprised to discover that she is actually the only person who can save the city from suave Rutger Hauer and his fellow vampires. Director Fran Rubel Kuzui rightly plays it like a comic strip and draws perfectly judged performances from an eclectic cast that also includes teen heart-throb Luke Perry, Donald Sutherland, an unrecognisable Paul Reubens (Pee-wee Herman) and an uncredited appearance from Ben Affleck. Fun, but fans of the TV series starring Sarah Michelle Gellar will be disappointed.
