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. The spunky cheerleader may be L.A.'s only hope for survival. [More]

Reviews for Buffy the Vampire Slayer
...it’s like Sunnydale gone back like hundreds of years to like the early '90s, and everybody’s like different and like not right and like silly and stuff!!!!!!
. It's a hack job of the first water, tepid in its execution and so unusually unaffecting that its images are soon forgotten: which is, of course, an incalculable blessing
The less I remember of Hilary Swank crossing her eyes after getting bonked on the head, the better.
