A high school student discovers she is a
chosen vampire slayer and protects her neighbourhood from a group of bloodsuckers who terrorise the area.
This film inspired a TV series which was
broadcast five years later. The TV show has far more laughs, more sex appeal and was generally more entertaining.
The film is rather poor in all honesty, but it
does have a small cult following (mostly avid fans of the TV programme)
