Summary:

The Hansen kids are in a jam. Adam (Matthew O'Leary) and his best friend Duffy (Jake Epstein) have gotten their hands on some tickets for the Headless Horseman concert, and his sister Chelsea (Laura Vandervoort) has a date with her dreamy boyfriend Peter. The only problem is they're both grounded. Chelsea and Adam will do whatever it takes to get their mom Lynette (Caroline Rhea) out of the house, even if it includes a chance meeting with a very mysterious man (Charles Shaughnessy). Everything seems to go according to plan until their little brother Taylor (Myles Jeffrey) realizes that this stranger might be a vampire.

Our Ranking

short review:

Completely unbloody (hey, it's from Disney) and mildly suspenseful teen comedy (best scene for me was when the vampire reaches out from his coffin to check the mail-account on his labtop - now that's a real blend of antique and modern-day life-style!), nevertheless entertaining and amusing - even if you're not a teen anymore! Not a genre highlight, and the gore-hounds amongst us should stay away from it, but the rest should give it a try.
