Enjoyable, but now basically a footnote to the TV series.

Against her better judgment, she follows the would-be boot-maker to a graveyard, where she is tested in combat by a gruesome pair of newly minted bloodsuckers. Of course Buffy emerges victorious, but this ordeal is only the beginning of a series of deadly and protracted battles with the evil vampire Lothos and his legion of undead warriors.

Reviews for Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Quite why Perry, as romantic interest, is still trying to convince peopel he is of high school age remains a mystery.
A bloodless comic resurrection of the undead that goes serious just when it should get wild and woolly.
A slight, good-humored film that's a lot more painless than might have been expected.
