Dreadfully Boring
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
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.
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
The little vampire is not a serious film and you do have to accept that when you're watching it. It is genuinely funny and shows a new side to vampires. The child actors are pretty good as well as the adults. It is overall a rewatchable and charming film.
I saw a trailer for this family horror fantasy adventure and thought it looked like a fun film to try, so I did. Basically little Tony Thompson (Jonathan Lipnicki) is having constant nightmares about vampires, and he is also wanting to find a friend, and what he gets is a real young vampire Rudolph Sackville-Bagg (introducing Rollo Weeks). The two of them are inseparable, but their fun isn't going to last because his family: father Frederick (Richard E. Grant), mother Freda (Star Trek: First Contact's Alice Krige), sister Anna (Anna Popplewell) and brother Gregory (Dean Cook) are needing to find a magical stone to free them the curse of being a vampire, and drinking cow's blood. They need to find it fast, because on the lookout for their kind and the stone is vampire hunter Rookery (Jim Carter). Of course it comes to the night of the Attamon comet crossing the moon, and after a few distractions the vampires are freed of their curse, and the film ends with Tony being able to be human friends with Rudolph and family. Also starring Pamela Gidley as Dottie Thompson, Tommy Hinkley as Bob Thompson and John Wood as Lord McAshton. This is a film that will appeal both to the younger and older generations, filled with some good giggly moments, it a fun family film. Worth watching!
A very winning cast, great location, superb kids' story to work with, good production make for some campy scariness for kids with entertainment for mom and dad as well. Charming little movie that appeals to the kid in all of us.The predicament of the cows really did make me laugh out loud. The acting by one and all was excellent, especially Richard E. Grant as the head of the vampire family. He brought a non-threatening, yet nerve wracking (well, for kids, anyway) presence to the movie. His charming powers over Mrs. Thompson were hysterical, and the entire cast did very well with this movie.One for the kids that mom and dad will enjoy sitting through, which is a rarity anymore, except for the likes of Shrek.Oh, and I can't omit Rollo Weeks, as The Little Vampire himself. He was so charming, so perfectly nailed the role of Rudolph. As well as the role for arguably the cutest kid in movies, Jonathan Lipnicki, as Tony Thompson. The crush Anna had on him was acted out adorably by Anna Popplewell, as well. There was just great acting all around in The Little Vampire.A job well done by all involved. This will make my list of movies to purchase just to share with my grandkids that someday I'll have to spoil. Campy, scary enough for the little ones and entertaining for their parents. What's not to like?
Tony Thompson is in a new country, a new house, and worst of all, he gets beaten up by two kids at school. But, his life will change forever after he befriends a vampire named Rudolph. After they save each other's lives, Tony and Rudolph go on some amazing adventures. This is definitely a must-see movie. It is fun for the whole family!
