Review by Siko Mike

Michael (Jason Patric) and Sam (Cory Haim) Emerson are all-American teens that are moving to Santa Carla, California after the recent divorce of their parents. Their mother (Dianne Wiest) decided that it would be great for them to live at their grandfather’s house. Grandpa (Barnard Hughes) doesn’t have a television, so it is up to the two brothers to start making friends in their new ocean-surrounded town. Older Michael meets a pretty girl named Star (Jami Gertz) who hangs with a few wild and crazy biker boys. Meanwhile, Sam meets Edgar (Corey Feldman) and Alan Frog (Jamison Newlander) who run a comic book store. The Frog brothers warn Sam that there are vampires in Santa Carla, which he doesn’t believe until his older brother Michael begins to act really strange.

Michael wears sunglasses during the day along with sleeping most of the time. Sam discovers that Michael’s reflection is fading in the mirror, so he immediately calls the Frog brothers for help. He discovers that the biker teenagers that Michael is running around with are vampires and that they have turned Michael into “half” vampire. Once Michael makes his first kill then he will become a full blooded vampire and there will be no turning him back. The only way to save his brother is to find and slay the master vampire. Time is running out, so Sam and the Frog brothers must slay these blood suckers before they turn Michael into one of the undead. (more…)
