This is a dumb teenage sex comedy with supernatural overtones and a very hit-and-miss gags quotient. Countess Lauren Hutton is a 400-year-old vampire looking for virgin blood in Los Angeles. Supplies are short until she picks up a student nerd (future superstar Jim Carrey) who hasn't managed to get his girlfriend Karen Kopins into bed. As he takes on more undead qualities, Carrey gets amusingly cooler but ultimately turns his back on the complete vampire lifestyle. Cleavon Little as Hutton's gay manservant has some funny moments, but eventually the one-joke premise screeches to a halt under Howard Storm's lifeless direction.

Great vampire spoof
Lauren Hutton and Cleavon Little camp up their roles and leave a young Jim Carey in the shadows as the third string support. A good laugh.

more cheese please
Jim Carrey's debut film is fantastic. It is the height of eighties cheese. It is a must watch film that will make you laugh until you cry. And not because... more

Jim Carrey's Debut
Jim Carrey's Debut is a must watch slice of 80's cheese, which I hadn't seen since the original VHS release.
Great for some nostalgic ... more -

Would NOT watch again
It was ok, but i expected more from a Jim Carrey film, but then I suppose it was one of his firsts.
