Blonde, bouncy Buffy (Kristy Swanson) is your typical high school cheerleader--her only goal is to "marry Christian Slater and die" and nothing gets in her way when it is time to shop. But all that changes when a strange man (Donald Sutherland) informs her she's been chosen by fate to kill vampires. With the help of a romantic rebel (Luke Perry), Buffy is soon spending school nights protecting L.A. from Lothos, the Vampire King (Rutger Hauer), his sidekick Lefty (Paul Reubens) and their determined gang of bloodsuckers. It's everything you'd expect from a teen queen in the valley. Keep an eye out for unbilled Ben Affleck (as basketball player #10) and Ricki Lake (as Charlotte).
"Plenty of teen appeal!" Variety
"A high-spirited romantic comedy!" Los Angeles Times
"Funny, near-camp teen genre spoof." VideoHound's Golden Movie Retriever
"...the jokes are pretty good, the premise is just off-the-wall enough to keep you tittering... (and Swanson's) a fox." Hal Hinson, Washington Post
Editor's Note
A fully accessorized L.A. high school cheerleader is informed by a mysterious stranger that she is destined to battle vampires. Soon she's wreaking havoc on a local chapter of bloodsuckers. But when the top vampire vows revenge, it totally fouls up her social schedule. Forerunner to the popular television series.
Plot Summary
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.
