Vampires Suck

Vampires Suck is currently streaming in Australia on Disney Plus, and in the UK on Disney Plus, and it delivers exactly the kind of comedy that earns a loyal following. It knows exactly what kind of film it is from the opening scene, and never loses that thread. With 1,407 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Jenn Proske is the obvious draw, but the whole ensemble earns its laughs. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Disney Plus.

There is a reason Vampires Suck keeps coming up in conversation. Vampires Suck does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. Becca, an anxious, non-vampire teen is torn between two boys. Before she can choose, Becca must get around her controlling father, who treats her like a child. Meanwhile, Becca's friends contend with their own romantic issues – all of which collide at the prom. Between them, Jenn Proske and Matt Lanter carry the comedy without ever forcing it. Vampires Suck came out in 2010. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Vampires Suck holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Vampires Suck. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. Jenn Proske anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
