Breathing new life into the vampire genre (sort of), this surprisingly effective little flick benefits strongly from some solid actors, namely McDowall as a veteran horror TV star and Geoffreys as a wisecracking high school outcast.
Ragsdale is equally likable as a fairly normal teenager who comes to believe the hip new neighbor next door is a vampire.
Filled with some fun scenes and just the right amount of self-humor, this one is a winner.
A particularly strong sequence comes with the climax, highlighting some amazingly good gore effects!
