One Jim Carreys first films and its a pretty fun little vamp film with lots of nice moments and a very sexy Lauren Hutton :).

The plot is extremely simple and kinda like a vampire version of 'Teenwolf' with all the teenage boy angst and virgin issues but that's what makes the film fun I guess. The whole sexual undercurrent with Hutton trying to 'have' Carrey is good fun in a kooky kind of way but also you can't help but wish Lauren Hutton would do the same to you haha its childish but naughty at the same time.

Carrey is good in this too I might add and clearly shows some of megastar talent that was on the way, alittle impression of Robert De Niro midway through is really good plus we see some rubber face antics here and there. Cleavon Little's performance in this is fun too as a gay/camp servant to his vamp Mistress, probably the best character in the film.

Its all fun and silly but not as good as 'Teenwolf'.
