To Sleep with a Vampire: Better than I expected
18 August 2018
To Sleep with a Vampire is an early 90's vampire movie (Of which there were many around that time) that honestly looks dated and within quarter of an hour I already had concerns.

It tells the story of a deeply confused vampire who kidnaps a young stripper. He intends to kill her by morning but before that wants her to explain to him about life and all the things he's missing due to being a member of the undead.

Labelled a romantic horror I can confidently say the romance is very poorly handled and honestly should be dismissed altogether. This is to romance what John Wick (2014) is to intelligent cinema.

It does have it's moments to it's credit and though our lead male is as intimidating as Pee Wee Herman our lead female is fantastic and I'm shocked she didn't have a considerably better career.

A passable affair for lovers of vampire cinema and cheesy 90's b-movies.

The Good:

Interesting premise for the most part

Charlie Spradling

The Bad:

Feels dated

Plot ultimately is pretty dumb

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

I have never introduced myself to a milkshake

Vampires cannot transform into bats, wolves or mist they can however turn into badly cgi made lightbulbs
