Preview: Vampires Suck (2010)

Synopsis:

A spoof of the recent vampire film crazy, focusing on the story of the Twilight films and also skewering other recent popular films.

• Poster: C; D+

Review:

Not quite on par with some of the other more impressive posters in this litany of film spoofs, but certainly not as bad as efforts by other more serious features.

The first poster grows on you when you look at this second one. The first poster at least poked fun at the Twilight film pulling in the background of its recognizable posters, but this new poster just kind of sits there on an unimpressive backdrop.

• Trailer: B

Review:

Ok. So it's not the greatest trailer and cinematically, these films have always been rather immaterial, but I can't help but be amused by a number of the scenes late in the trailer. Will I see it? Probably, but mostly because I've seen almost all of the other Friedberg/Seltzer collaborations (except Date Movie) and sometimes I love to just send the brain out for ice cream and watch a cheap and crappy movie.

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Release Date:

• August 18, 2010
