The Little Vampire is excellently acted and great to look at. Stuart Little's Jonathan Lipnicki carries, on his pint-sized shoulders, his every scene as 8-year-old Tony, befriender of vampires, and the Scottish setting lends itself nicely to spookiness. But where this video earns most points is in the plot department. 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 third-grader'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 and are cleverer than most--Tony's mom and dad smirk at their son's vampire-obsessed imagination until the cape-draped heads of the clan drop by for a visit--and the gang's adventures eluding a bumbling vampire hunter are genuinely chuckleworthy. At-home Twizzler munchers ages 8 and older won't soon tire of this charmer of a Transylvanian transplant. --Tammy La Gorce

Jonathan Lipnicki should never have been allowed to grow up, he's just to cute. This is great fun for kids and adults.(Vampire Cows, need I say more.)

I'm not a spring chicken - old enough to be a great-grandma- but this is one of my favorite all time movies. It's a warm and funny family movie that my kids and grandkids love as much as I do. The scenes with the cows are priceless!

This little gem nicely mixes laughhter and chills in a tale of modern day vampirism that gives us all the trappings of the vampire yarn and sends them up affectionately and without mockery
Tony Thompson (Jonathan Lipnicki -of Jerry Maguire fame)moves from San Diego to Scotland with his Dad, Bob (Tommy Hinkley) and Mom ,Dottie (Pamela Gidley).His Dad is in charge of building s new golf resort in the Highlands .
Tony is troubled by vivid dreams of vampires coming to get him and it transpires there are vampires in the area one of whom , a"boy"of roughly his own human age Rudolph (Rollo Weeks)he befriends .His family -headed by Richard E Grant and Alice Krige -are being hunted by Rookery ,a vampire slayer (Jim Carter)complete with neon crucifix and sun lamps on his truck.They are anxious to resume a normal human life and to do this must secure a special stone by sunset of the following day or else be doomed to remain vampires.Tony offers to help ,a promise that involves vampire tombs ,vampire cows(I kid you not)and coping with the local school bullies
The movie is well acted and is blessed in its child actors who are natural aand uncloying .Grant and Krige give it just the right amount of camp and Grant in particular would make a great vampire in a "straight "vampire picture having as he does the looks and gravitas for the role
There are some subtle movie references for adults and kids under ,say ,12 would enjoy the movie more than their ... Read More
