This is a great film and wasn't over done.  It is one of those teen 80's vampire flicks, and is very enjoyable no matter how old you are.  Buy saying no matter how old you are I don't mean let your kids watch it cause it's not for your kids at all.  Chris Sarandon (star of Child's PLay) is great as Charlie.  He maked the movie very enjoyable.  I was a bit younger when I watched this film.  I don't mean like 9 or 10 I was about 23 when this came out and now I'm 42.  The special affects are great and the camera tricks are dazzling and great.  Lot's of nudity in this vampire flick and this one was way better than it's horrible and depressing sequel.  So, just take my word for it, don't go near the sequel.  Anyway, the acting in this gets a 5/5 and the plot gets a 5/5.  Even by looking at the front cover of this movie you can tell that it is a cool and exicting film.  This is the best vampire movie I've seen really, and trust me, I've seen a batch of vampire movies.  Let's say this film hits number 1 because of these three reasons,
