Vampires Suck

Vampires Suck is a 2010 American vampire spoof film directed by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, starring Jenn Proske, Matt Lanter, Christopher N. Riggi, Ken Jeong, and Anneliese van der Pol.Vampires Suck has received overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics, and it currently has an approval rating of 5% on Rotten Tomatoes, with the consensus being "Witlessly broad and utterly devoid of laughs, Vampires Suck represents a slight step forward for the Friedberg-Seltzer team. Metacritic, which consists of a normalized rating from 0-100 on reviews from mainstream critics, calculated an average score of 20 based on 14 critics. Surprisingly, Vampires almost exclusively skewers the Twilight franchise with only passing swipes at other properties like Buffy. The story centers on sulky sourpuss Becca Crane (Jenn Proske), who returns to Sporks, Washington, to live with her sheriff dad. At school, she meets and slo-mo moons over pale, pompadoured Edward Sullen (Matt Lanter), part of the mysterious Sullen family of vampires.Becca, an anxious, non-vampire teen, is torn between two boys. Before she can choose, Becca must get around her controlling father, who embarrasses Becca by treating her like a child. Meanwhile, Becca's friends contend with their own romantic issues -- all of which collide at the prom. Also bitten by Becca's, um, charms is Jacob White (Chris Riggi)—instead of Jacob Black,-an oft-shirtless Native-American werewolf sporting a furry tail from his tight jeans. Becca's bloodsucker-lust soon attracts a dangerous clan of nomadic vampires who don't share the Sullens' ethical reservations about drinking human blood. Advisory: This film contains sexual content, violence, strong language and humor at the expense of your favorite celebrity.
