It's chauvinistic, bland, characterization-free and utter, utter bull - since when in Vampire lore do said vamps GLITTER? You want 2 worlds colliding? Watch Buffy, at least she has a spine and some good lines. As for Twilight, give me Interview with a Vampire any day. Oh come on, Mystee, that’s no excuse for thoroughly poor writing.

Archie and Veronica meet the kids from Underworld. A coming of age story for a 17 year old centenarian. Remarkably beautiful, if somewhat pasty, adolescents beautifully photographed, meandering through a turgid plot, steeped in gigawatts of sexual tension, supercharged with possibility that young Romeo will be overcome with lust. Blood-lust. that is. And be forced to slake his thirst on our heroine. Same old boy meets girl, boy eats girl. Painfully predictable and slow as molasses through 2/3 of the second act. But the final 20 minutes crank it up with enough twists so that you won't fall asleep driving home. Overall, a B-(that's B minus, not B Negative). Nearly operatic in its humorlessness except for the kitchen scene which is a hoot... deliciously ripe for SNL. Except that it's really the other way around. The whole movie feels like it could have started out as a cute idea for an SNL skit - Dracula 90210, or Vampires of the OC - before some misguided development exec over in the feature division at NBC/Universal decided to take seriously.
