Amazon.co.uk Review
If any pop-culture phenomenon ever deserved a send-up, surely it's the Twilight world, with its overheated vampire love and shirtless teenage werewolves. The moment is seized by Vampires Suck, yet another movie parody from the team of Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, the boys behind Disaster Movie and Meet the Spartans. As in their previous spoofs, Friedberg and Seltzer string together some jokes around the plot, a few topical references, and a barrage of irrelevant pop-culture allusions (unless you can figure out how Tiger Woods, the Kardashians, and Lady Gaga are relevant to the proceedings). The first couple of Twilight pictures are rapidly condensed, with heroine Becca (Jenn Proske) moving to a rainy town in Washington and meeting the unnaturally pale Edward Sullen (Matt Lanter), whose vampire clan can hardly keep from draining Becca's blood on the spot. Of course there's also wolf-boy Jacob (Chris Riggi), who reminds Becca that he is contractually obligated to take his shirt off and expose his bare chest (his torso here is more elaborate than in the real Twilight movies) every 10 minutes. That joke is an example of how far Vampires Suck is behind its own audience; the movie hits the obvious points, with plenty of dead air in between. A few gags pay off, including Jacob's werewolf clan (shirtless, natch) breaking out into a dance routine to "It's Raining Men." And Jenn Proske, in her film debut, does a lights-out impersonation of Kristen Stewart's trembling Bella from the series, right down to every last downward glance and stutter. It's a performance that deserves a better setting. --Robert Horton
DVD Description
The comedy masterminds behind Epic Movie and Meet The Spartans drive a squeaky rubber stake through the heart of the Twilight series with this irreverent satire about a teenage girl who's torn between two supernatural suitors. As Becca struggles to contend with her overbearing father, two fierce rivals compete to win her heart. But Becca isn't the only high-school student having a hard time with boys; her friends are all desperate to find a date for the prom, and as the big night draws near, the rampant tension draws out the animals in everyone.

VAMPIRES SUCK is a hilarious spoof of the twilight saga. With brilliant comedy fighting and superb comedy characters i'm surprised at the amount of reviews saying that this is terrible. Here are some scenes that may amuse you.
Becca's dad and Jacob's dad fight each other. Whilst Becca and Jacob talk, they hit each other with wheelchairs. I laughed out loud!
Some of Jacob's pack dance to 'it's raining men'. This is also funny.
The bit where Becca and her friend walk out of breaking dawn. A long line of people are waiting to see it and Becca's friend totally ruins the film for them.
Becca's dad is hilarious.
Although bad acting and i agree with my mother that some parts were feeble beyond belief!
Still worth buying. Not the best of 2010, but still ace!

I have not seen any of the Twighlight movies or read any of the books. But I know enough from the hype surrounding them to be able to watch and appreciate this movie.
I found Vampires Sucks to be reasonably entertaining and watchable. However, it was not laugh a minute for me. But it was still good enough to keep me entertained and engaged.
I think to appreciate this movie in any way, you must have some sort of knowledge about Twighlight and be interested in in vampire pop-culture to some degree.
For me it is decent, but not great. It is about the same as Not Another Teen movie, better that Date Movie, but not as good as Scary Movie 3 or Airplane which are my favourite spoofs.

There's nothing quite like the feeling when you watch an amazing trailer and just have to watch the film! I watched the trailer, cracking up every few seconds at references to the Black Eyed Peas, It's Raining Men and Chihuahuas, and I thought that it would be a must see.
I rented it from lovefilm, and it arrived in the post. I eagerly awaited a day when my and my friend were both free. I was unbelievably disappointed. The parts that I found funny were the parts from the trailer, and yes there were some other humorus parts, but time after time, it made mockery of some of the parts of the original film that worked in the first place and then they simply weren't funny. Slapstick comedy of squirting blood and over zealous violence were funny the first time, but then lost my interest.
By the end of the film, I was so tired of the silliness and mockery that didn't click with me, that I nearly fell asleep. The only pro for this film is that as it's rented, I can send it back.
