  There are few transformation montages more satisfying than seeing Luke Perry finally get rid of that soul patch.

  if movie like this came out in 2022 people would let it flop because 70% of us would actually love to become vampires

  Review by The_Shape_ 53

  The television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer is notable for attracting immense interest from scholars, with some academic settings even including the show as a topic of literary study and analysis.

  National Public Radio describes Buffy as having a "special following among academics".

  There have been a number of international conferences on the topic - including when University of East Anglia professors Carol O'Sullivan, Claire Thomson, Catherine Fuller, and Scott MacKenzie hosted over 200 scholars for the first international conference on Whedon.

  In a 2012 study, Buffy the Vampire Slayer was named the most studied pop culture work by academics, with well over 200 papers, essays, and books devoted to the series - examining the themes of the show from…

  Vampir-Tage die Erste (1/2)

  
  Vor „kurzem“ hörte ich in meiner Letterboxd-Bubble, wobei in dieser Babbel „kurz“ ebenso gut gestern wie vor einigen Monaten heißen kann, von dem „Buffy the Vampire Slayer“ Film zur gleichnamigen Serie die ich, hier benutzen wir wieder das Kürzel kurz, vor einigen Monaten begonnen habe als vordergründige Hintergrundberieselung anzuschauen die alles andere als bloße Hintergrundberieselung wurde.

  Somit will gesagt werden, steht diese Review Vordergründig für die Serie „Buffy – Im Bann der Dämonen“ und zweitrangig für den hier geloggten Film.

  Meine spärlichen, verwischten Erinnerungen an „Buffy“ spannten sich um einige einzelne Folgen in meiner Kindheit vor gut zwanzig Jahren und einigen Rocket Beans Highlight mit dem allseits von mir geliebten glatzenträger Gregor Kartsios und dessen Ausspruch…

  Review by Isy Mac ★★

  As you can tell by my rating, Buffy the Vampire Slayer has a whole lot of problems. However, I don't really take pleasure in tearing a movie to pieces without any concession of its strengths, so let's start with some quick positives:

  - Kristy Swanson. Easily the best part of Buffy, hers is a performance from a much, much better movie. She seriously carries the whole movie on her back.

  - Appearances from many baby versions of future stars. Hillary Swank and Ben Affleck, among others. Fun!

  - The concept. Though its execution leaves a lot to be desired, this spin on the archetypal Chosen One narrative - with the Slayer as a metaphor for adulthood and Buffy's acceptance of…

  Review by Gabriel Jewett ★★★★★ 4

  "Hey we paid good money to see this!"
  "Dude, no we didn't"
  "Oh yeah"

  I love everything Buffy: the video games, books, comics, the TV show, and of course this movie.
  I was even thinking about my dedicating an entire section of my room to Buffy, called "the Buffy corner"... I know I know.
  You would think since the series is my favorite television show of all time that I would hate this movie, but I don't at all because Buffy the Vampire Slayer is honestly in my top 10 of all time. (Movies in general)
  Kristy Swanson is one of my favorite actresses I really wish she got more recognition!

  Fun fact: this features a young David Arquette in…

  Review by Rafael Jovine ★★★ 2

  So throughout my whole Spooktober marathon last month I actually started binge watching the whole Buffy series. It had its ups and downs and if I'm being honest the last season, everyone just felt too tired and Buffy seem so cynical. Also the original Scooby gang was completely teared apart... It wasn't precisely strong. But it was OK I guess. Nevertheless I actually got myself a copy of the movie that started it all....

  ....and first of all, talking about an essemble cast of new and up and coming great cast. Donald Sutherland, Hillary Swank, Paul Reubens, Stephen Root... It was amazing and for most of its part everyone delivers. There's some of the cheeky humor, the 90s in this…
