What to know

critics consensus

Though it may appeal to its built-in fanbase, Vampire Academy's Twilight-meets-Mean Girls conceit borrows lazily from its predecessors and offers few laughs or thrills to complement its overstuffed backstory. Read critic reviews

Audience Reviews for Vampire Academy

    The banter and back-story may be a bit too hastily presented to be entirely effective, but I still found the film entertaining and surprisingly funny.

    Got dragged into seeing this with a friend and oh man did I regret it. So amazingly bad. This is definitely one of the worst sci-fi/fantasy films I've ever seen. The writing is horrendous...it's just one dreadful sarcastic line after another. What a waste of time.

    Based on the best-selling young adult book series, Vampire Academy is a convoluted and monotonous tale. A half vampire, half human named Rose must protect a vampire princess from a mysterious assailant that's stalking her. The script is incredibly weak; as it's full of exposition dumps that try to explain the vampire social order and provide some ambiguous backstories for several key characters. And, the acting isn't that good either; though Zoey Deutch does have a certain charisma. Yet the vampire mythology is quite intriguing, and there's a good amount of mystery to the plot. Vampire Academy is clearly trying to cash in on the recent popularity of young adult fantasy, but it doesn't put forth much effort into making a quality product.
