I have the two disc thing. I think I first saw it on vhs when I was younger. See in our rental was this guy who knew I liked to see vamp movies and was always telling me which to see, basically just any vamp movie really but so I got that and thought it wasn't anything special. But then I either saw it again later or just saw it in a shop and bought it and I really love it. Hehe.

I loved the two brothers, the frog brothers and the grandpa. But I kinda thought the bro that was all vampin out was really cute. :p Hehe. And then off course Kiefer Sutherland. And the woman who played Sat is now in some comedy like King of Queens or something. I love that scene where he sees her and the music is with the guy with the sax or something. I liked the song and the song in the start. I have it on my mp3. :p

I kinda wanna watch it now, but gonna go see a re-run of a tv-show.

I only recently saw this for the first time. I had only found out about a few years ago and when I did managed to catch a few minutes of it somewhere in the middle I changed the channel thinking it was boring.

It wasn't.

I finally caught the whole movie from start to finish and loved it.
I loved the scene on the bridge or when the main character is floating out the window. I loved the two supposed vampire hunters , The Frog Brothers who acted like they knew everything about vampires only to be proven wrong at times and too scared to get close enough to kill the vampires they went after. It's funny but not overly obnoxious like some vampire comedies I've seen. The ending with the grandfather was hilarious, and Keifer Sutherland makes a great vampire.

The first time I saw this film was when I was very young. We had a taped copy, peppered with commercials and edited for content and language, but I fell in love with it. Avidly, I watched the movies until years later I ordered it from Amazon for my very own.

The plot of the story held a few inconsistencies, and the vampire effects arent like they are now, but once you get past that, it's all good. It has just the right amount of teen comedy, romance, action and horror that makes it stand out as one of the better vampire movies I have seen.

My favorite character was Michael, but the Frog brothers duo...brilliant.
