Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Excellent film with a gripping story!

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

I come down on the side of this movie is a fun time-waster, but maybe my age is showing in that I noticed in three pages of comments about this film (apparently the Carmen Electra cover had a lot to do with that) No One has mentioned the ton of references to the old William Asher/AIP Beach Movies -- starting with Frankie & Dee - The Vampire "Moondoggie" AKA "Count Eric Von Zipper" (that was MY biggest laff watching this) - The Big Kahuna actually hearkens back to Gidget.Carmen does show skin but not as much as any male viewer would like. Daisy Torme looks great in a bikini so why are most of her jobs voice work? No justice in my world.

I'm hooked on those cheap DVDs you find at dollar stores. It's like a disease. Anyway, when I walked into my local Just-A-Buck and saw a fanged Carmen Electra on the front cover of American VAMPIRE (a.k.a. AN American VAMPIRE STORY, for those of you interested enough to care) I thought to myself "We have a winner!" As a bonus, Adam ("Batman") West makes an appearance? I was in B-Movie heaven... until I actually watched the film. American VAMPIRE tells the story of a California surf bum teen who unwittingly opens his rad beach front home to a pack of vampires (led by a pudgy guy named "Moondoggie," I swear to GOD)while his parents are away on vacation. If you're hoping for a bloodsucking variation on RISKY BUSINESS at this point, you're going to be sorely disappointed because...well, nothing much happens. The kid spends much of the movie asking his dim-bulb friend (who was apparently channeling the "Bill & Ted" films in his performance) "How am I going to get rid of them?" until he is led to Adam West, a Hawaiian shirted descendant of the Van Helsings (again, I am not making this up)to help him slay them. This all could've been played out in half an hour but drags out for an excruciating near-90 minutes. Worse, we barely see Carmen Electra and when she is on screen she doesn't do anything. She's basically wallpaper. Don't get me wrong, I love bad horror movies and I love silly comedies, but American VAMPIRE does not classify as either one. If it weren't for the bondage gear that Carmen and her female-vamp com-padre are wearing in the brief time that they're on screen, this thing could run on the Family Channel as a Halloween special. Ignore, delete, destroy. The Dollar Store DVD maven has warned you.

I vaguely recall that in my life I have left 2 movies unfinished. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and American Vampire. FAL was due to falling asleep while it played, over actual dislike, but AV is...how shall I put this...akin to attempting to explain nihilism to someone on Zoloft. You really want to keep going, but in reality you realize how futile it really is. I'm not saying that this film is entirely unwatchable, just difficult to sit through. In all honesty, I went into this film expecting a campy vamp flick with Adam West chewing the scenery with visible gusto, and Carmen Electra being, well, slutty. The Carmen one went off without a hitch, but the other two were a bit of a disappointment. Adam West seemed to be sleepwalking through his part, with the only thing keeping him saying his lines being a paycheck. As for the campy vamp flick, well, low budget is one thing, but this is the kind of flick that should be on Something Awful's Movie Reviews.On a positive note, aside from Superfriends, I suspect that this film can provide the most inebriating drinking game available: Every time you see a boom mike, take a drink.

Well let see, It's not full of blood and guts, it's not really scary, it's not sexual by any means, hmmmmmmm seems to me that a movie of this nature would be a good thing for kids and for people that are just wanting to get away from the garbage out in the video market today.I believe that this movie is one of a kind. It has some cute parts to it, and, it has the venerable Adam West back in a Batman-esque kind of role. Being serious and over the top as he was in so many Batman shows of days forgotten.Johny, Trevor, and Carmen were funny and enjoyable, as well as Sidney and Debra . I think for children this would be a cute and enjoyable movie and something parents ought to look into.RJ
