Buffy is the bubbly blonde reincarnation of all those fearless vampire slayers of yore--or so she is told one day by a mysterious old man in a trench coat. 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
Quite why Perry, as romantic interest, is still trying to convince peopel he is of high school age remains a mystery.
Joss Whedon's script has some fun with Valley talk (both genuine and ersatz) but strains to sell the story.
This pallid crossbreeding of vampire horror with Valley Girl vamping has no surprises.
A bloodless comic resurrection of the undead that goes serious just when it should get wild and woolly.
A sometimes entertaining mess. (The TV series is, shockingly, a whole lot better.)
My favorite TV show is Buffy, I still can't believe it came from this horrible movie.
A slight, good-humored film that's a lot more painless than might have been expected.
