Amazon.co.uk Review

Fresh from Stuart Little, young Jonathan Lipnicki carries on his pint-sized shoulders his every scene in The Little Vampire as eight-year-old Tony, befriender of vampires. The Scottish setting lends itself nicely to spookiness, too. A continent away from his native California, Tony's having a tough time making new friends when a band of vagabond vampires enters his life through his bedroom window. The encounter seems pure coincidence at first, but then the scary truth surfaces: Tony, though he's not a vampire himself, has "sympathy for our kind", as the dad of the bat-linked brood puts it. Visions of vampire happenings from generations past invade the kid's consciousness, and they hold the key to the clan's current gypsy-like predicament. Through his clairvoyance and, by extension, the discovery of a long-lost amulet, the mostly benevolent bloodsuckers are able to reclaim their rightful status as proper cave-dwellers in their homeland. Clueless-parent predicaments abound--Tony's mum and dad smirk at their son's vampire-obsessed imagination until the cape-draped heads of the clan drop by for a visit--and viewers of around Tony's age will find the gang's adventures eluding a bumbling vampire hunter genuinely chuckle worthy. --Tammy La Gorce

Synopsis

Tony Thompson (Jonathan Lipnicki) is a nine-year-old boy who has just moved to Scotland with his family. Tony is having trouble making friends at his new school, and he has strange dreams about vampires every night. One night a bat flies into Tony's room--a bat that then turns into Rudolph, a young vampire boy fleeing from an obsessed vampire hunter. Rudolph explains that the vampires don't want to hurt humans and only drink the blood of cows. Tony and Rudolph become friends, and Tony meets Rudolph's family. But Rookery, the vampire hunter, is chasing the vampires, trying to keep Rudolph's family from finding a missing magic stone that has the power to turn the vampires back into ordinary humans. Starring Richard E. Grant and Alice Krige as the vampire parents, THE LITTLE VAMPIRE is a fun family adventure with a good mix of lighthearted action and clever comedy. The film, based on a series of popular German children's books written by Angela Sommer-Brodenburg, features colorful characters and a herd of flying vampire cows.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun for all ages, and great costumes and make-up, 9 Nov 2001
By A Customer
There are few films out these days that offer something for everyone in the family. With boys age 12 and 3, we usually find that they want different things, but Little Vampire pleased them both. Mum and dad laughed too. The vampires look good without being too scary for young children, and the humour keeps the whole thing light. If ever there was a horror film for kids, this is it.

5.0 out of 5 stars brilliant!!!!, 14 April 2002
By A Customer
a friend introduced this film to me and i must say i was a little dubious at first as i'm normally into Cannibal Holocaust and Exorcist horror type films, not childrens films. however i am addicted to it now, it has to be the best film i've seen in years. it has everything for all the family, even cynical teenagers like myself! the vampire costumes are fantastic, from the little girl's gothic medieval dress to the older brother's punky costume. the plot, although pretty predictabe, is nonetheless great. and the vampire cows simply rock.
this is one of those films that will never grow old and is suitable for everyone, it's great.

5.0 out of 5 stars 'Fang'tastic .., 1 April 2001
By A Customer
Tony is 9 years old. He moved from America to live in Scotland and was very lonely as he had no friends. Just like me Tony loves vampires and one night a young vampire boy crashes in through Tony's bedroom window. He becomes Tony's best friend. There is an evil vampire slayer out to destroy all the vampires and Tony has to help his friend and his family before they are all destroyed forever. This is my favourite film ever. It is brilliant. By Padraig, aged 5.
