Reviews for Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Top CriticUnfocused stuff, pitched at undemanding teenagers.

Top CriticEnjoyable, but now basically a footnote to the TV series.

Top CriticThis pallid crossbreeding of vampire horror with Valley Girl vamping has no surprises.

Top CriticMy favorite TV show is Buffy, I still can't believe it came from this horrible movie.

...most of the way it feels like a padded TV skit.

The second half feels stretched out and muddled, as if screenwriter Joss Whedon drove a stake through his script.

Flat comedy/horror flick that barely scratches the level of mediocrity in either genre.

Joss Whedon's script has some fun with Valley talk (both genuine and ersatz) but strains to sell the story.

A film that bears the earmarks of having been made from the first draft of a script, then edited by someone who was not interested in the material.

Grease in the 80s... with Vampires. Ugh.
