""Buffy" (Kristy Swanson) is the lead cheerleader of a high school who is dating the star basketball player who acts much like the typical valley girl who cares more about status, her appearance and the cheerleading squad. But her destiny has nothing to do with anything she cares most about. She soon learns about her destiny when she meets "Merrick", a mysterious man who tells her she's "The Chosen One".

"Merrick" trains "Buffy" secretly so she can face the vampires, which are lead by "Lothos" (Rutger Haur) and his right-hand man "Amilyn" (Paul Reubens). To make things worse for "Buffy", her friends and classmates are becoming "Creatures of the Night". Now, "Merrick", "Buffy" and "Pike" (Luke Perry), a real jerk who slowly warms up to "Buffy", must join forces to save the town and school from the world of the undead. OK, although this is the movie the very popular television series is ... "

"The big love for Let the Right One In and high expectations over the impending release of Twilight has sparked some chatter about vampires as a symbolic narrative construct — or, as Jeff Wells puts it in a post condescendingly titled “Girls Vampire Club,” “the romantic whatchamacallit vampire metaphor.” At this point, it’s not even much of a metaphor: in the fifteen years between the birth of the Buffy franchise and the release of the two teen vampire films named above, the plight of the brooding but well-meaning undead has become so synonymous with teenage alienation that fiction about the convergance of the two “outsider” groups has just about run out of points to make. It’s become refreshing to see vampires function as unambiguous villians, an evil to be dealt with sans angst. And so you’ve got to give it up for

"As if the run-of-the-mill high school movie wasn’t scary enough (cough–High School Musical 3), Hollywood has been upping the ante for years by tossing unsuspecting teens into horrific situations. Audiences seem to enjoy watching vulnerable characters having the hormones scared out of them — or else they just enjoy seeing annoying teens get tortured. Every high school teen horror flick has a stereotypical cast of characters straight out of cliche-ville: the jock/hot guy, the cheerleader/hot girl, the know-it-all nerd (male or female), the misunderstood girl, the new student, and a slew of others who normally end up as a victim for the killer/monster/plague at the heart of the movie. Maybe this is one of the reasons why the acclaimed Swedish preteen vampire film Let the Right One In (which comes out in limited release tomorrow) has been so successful at festivals: it finds ways to rework the nerd/bully/bad guy constructs that Hollywood has been regurgitating in teen movies for fifty ...
