Not a bad movie but the TV show is much better.

I saw this movie several years before the TV show was released & this movie is an OK vampire movie. IIRC, I saw this movie around 1993/1994 on TV & I like it considering that I love horror movies/vampire movies.

This is a lightheaded comedy starring Kristy Swanson as Buffy, a blonde girl who finds out that she is the Slayer & that vampires are in LA. She is trained by Merrick who is her first watcher. This is an OK comedy movie but, unfortunately, the movie is a toned down version of Joss Whedon's original script which was much more darker than the final version of this movie.

Look for Paul Reubens aka Pee-Wee Herman as a vampire.

This movie lead to the creation of the Buffy The Vampire Slayer TV show which is much, much better than this movie. The TV show is based on the original script for this movie.

If you have only seen the TV show, you will probably not like this movie. But if you can, watch this movie to see what Buffy was before Joss created the TV series.
