Movie Reviews
Synopsis:
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. The spunky cheerleader may be L.A.'s only hope for survival.
Notes:
Estimated budget $7 million; color by DeLuxe.
Paul Reubens was reportedly a last-minute substitute for Joan Chen in the role of Amilyn, Rutger Hauer's vampire sidekick.
