content: The perfect '80's vampire film. A great cast who all seem to really understand and love the script, fun effects, cool soundtrack, blood, gore, and laughs all add up to one of the better vampire films that moved the genre out of the Transilvania age. Jason Patric was on the verge of his total coolnees, the Coreys were still cute and funny, Edward Herrmann playing against his serious mini-series type, Dianne Weist the doting daffy mom and Barnard Hughes as the Jimmy Buffet of grandfathers all add up to a really fun ride.It's a comic, action-adventure, thriller, vampire flick that makes the cynics proud of how the genre could be modernized and still allow the cynics to laugh - freely.Visually stunning, fun, cool and worthy of its cult status.
