Profile of Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Buffy the Vampire Slayer can be described as humorous, offbeat, and scary. The plot revolves around vampires, a heroic mission, and teenage life. Its comic aspect comes from satire and irreverent humor. Buffy the Vampire Slayer's main genres are comedy and horror. In terms of style, it stars a strong female character. In approach, it is fantastical. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is set, at least in part, at a school. It takes place in the 1990s. It is well suited for teens.

Summary of Buffy the Vampire Slayer

For Buffy Summers (Kristy Swanson), nothing is the same after she meets Merrick Jamison-Smythe (Donald Sutherland). Merrick tells the teen that he's been sent to train her to fight vampires, and he proves himself by displaying his supernatural powers. Buffy is a quick study, and soon takes fellow student Oliver Pike (Luke Perry) under her wing, repeatedly saving him from fierce bloodsuckers. But, when a very dangerous vampire (Rutger Hauer) gets rambunctious, she must go to war again.

The New York Times

Buffy the Vampire Slayer, a slight, good-humored film that's a lot more painless than might have been expected. Ms. Swanson's funny, deadpan delivery holds the story together reasonably well, as does the state-of-the-art Val-speak that constitutes... Full Review

So kitsch, so whimsical, it has become somewhat of a early 90's classic. This movie can boast, Kristy Swanson, Luke Perry, Hilary Swank, Ben Affleck, Donald Southerland, Rutger Hauer, & Ricki Lake. I like this movie very much, and I enthusiastically... Read and rate it
