| Fairly high production values, but the screenwriter and casting director fell flat on their faces with this one. Bill is the only witness to a mysterious UFO which buzzes his hometown, but the next morning he finds it gracing a neighbor's yard as some sort of sculpture. When a team from SETI arrives he gets really excited and has them check it out. While the scientists discuss the object he takes matters into his own hands and chucks a lawn gnome at it. (Which the spaceship promptly absorbs or eats - heck I don't know, swirling green special effects happen.) Unfortunately this alien is not ET, the monster's name is Lord Vlathos and with the power of a giant diamond he plans on absorbing every drop of sunlight, then his people will be free to rule the Earth! Don't ask me about the physics behind absorbing all the sunlight from a huge fusion reaction, I didn't write the darn script. (Let's not forget that without sunlight it would get really damn cold on Earth.) Bill and Hank end up being two of the only people not bitten by the vampires, so they hatch a desperate plan to save the world. It works, the sun's light is set free, the end. The camera work is first rate and the special effects look clean, it's just the acting that gets you every time - even though Bill has some darn amusing lines. |

| Things I Learned From This Movie: | |
|
 | Newspaper boys deliver their papers around noon.
| | Spaceships are easily identified by applying the "Lawn Gnome Test." This involves chucking a lawn gnome at it and watching for a reaction.
| | Soccer team parties suck.
| | Vampires need torches to see in the dark.
| | Geode cross sections make handy monitors.
| | Humans turned into space vampires have horrible faces, but the rest of their body is normal.
| | Swiss Army knives are not exactly the best of weapons.
| | Diamonds are easily shattered by dropping them on the floor.
| | Biting the referee is a quick way to get disqualified.

I agree Paul Westbrook, when does this torture end. TEENAGE SPACE VAMPIRES is so childish. And also so bad no wonder it went straight to video.

You foo's are outta wack. This movie has inspiration and packs quite the wallape. Yeah sure it has teens in it, but we need teens, they are the ones who make the movies look good. We cant just watch old people. Plus if the makers of this triumph want to broaden their horizon, thus teens are needed. Those are my sentiments and in conclusion i found this movie to be highly logical and a warning to future generations of the problems we may soon have. Its a comming of age movie that is a sure oscar contender, which is why i give mighty ducks 6 my thumb of approval...wait.TEENAGE SPACE VAMPIRES!! WHAT THE f**k!!! oh most have been that crack i smoked earlier.

I don't honestly know what the filmmakers were thinking when they made this crap. This film should be condemned to whatever movie limbo it came from.
