Most years for 31 days of horror I try to find and watch a film that is kid friendly. Like last year I watched the Zombie/Summer Camp film Bunks. So this year I was looking for something similar. I was looking up the cast of Riverdale on IMDB and saw that Vanessa Morgan(Topaz on Riverdale) was in a Disney Channel/Teletoon film called My Babysitter is a Vampire.
Ethan is a geeky high school student. One who's parents don't trust him. So the parents hire out Erica(Vanessa Morgan)
to come babysit Ethan and his little sister while they are gone. Erica is a huge fan of Dusk,this universes version of Twilight. Erica ends up going to a party instead of babysitting. But another girl shows up to babysit.A girl that once Ethan touches her he has a vision. He also notices this girl,Sarah,doesn't have a reflection in the mirror!Yep Sarah is a VAMPIRE!!!
Seems the party that Erica went to is full of vampires. She gets bit and becomes one. She ends up biting a bunch of people,including Ethan. And we learn that until you drink human blood you aren't a full vampire. Which means you can be cured.
For a tween/teen horror film this wasn't horrible. Matter of fact Vanessa Morgan and the actor that plays Ethan's best friend,who I think was in Bunks
,are really good. The FX work isn't bad. And I am guessing this movie was a pretty big hit. Cause while this film hit TV in October 2010 by Feb 2011 a tv show was airing.
So if you got some kids around and want to watch a horror film that won't cause them to have nightmares...well this isn't a bad choice. I saw that the tv show is also on Netflix. Might check it out.
My Babysitter is a Vampire gets a C+.
