A largely forgettable, cheap Euro-production that deserves at least some points for location and atmosphere. […]

Die Wolf-Gäng (2020)
This German film, which may not become available in English any time soon, is based on a children’s book franchise created by Wolfgang Hohlbein – a highly prolific German author who usually writes pulp fantasy novels for grownups.
Die Wolf-Gäng, probably aimed at children in the 9-12 age range, looks gorgeous, but has the usual drawbacks that many children’s films have, such as a simple plot based on a run-of-the-mill structure as well as too many plot conveniences. […]
The Little Vampire (2018)
This 2018 animated film is based on a well-established franchise, and yet it came and went without anyone really taking notice. The reception was cool, the film barely made its money back at the box office, and to this day the film has no entry in either the English nor the German Wikipedia.
This is not really surprising because while this film cannot really be called bad, it is undoubtedly rather unmemorable. […]
Vampire Kids (1991)
An extremely forgettable horror comedy from Hong Kong that is best avoided. […]
The Little Vampire (2000)
Based on the famous book franchise of the same name, The Little Vampire is a children’s film of middling quality. Although there are little to no major missteps in this film, it somehow fails to rise above mediocrity. And for a film in which so much is happening, it feels surprisingly unengaging. […]
Twixt (2011)
A failed experiment by Francis Ford Coppola, Twixt is rather disappointing and generally unsatisfying, despite its good cast and decent looks. […]
Der Kleine Vampir – Neue Abenteuer (1993)
Although it is a sequel (of sorts) to the 1986 TV-series The Little Vampire, this German-language production is not available in other languages. Which is just as well, because it is – unfortunately – not really good. […]
The Little Vampire (1986)
This TV-show for children is based on the first two novels of a 21-novel-franchise. A German-Canadian co-production, The Little Vampire features an impressive cast including Michael Gough and Gert Fröbe. […]
The Lost Boys (1987)
Even though some of the characters are underdeveloped (or underused), most elements in The Lost Boys are great and still hold up well after 30 years. There is a reason they call this one a classic. […]
Young Dracula [seasons1&2] (2006-2008)
The first two seasons of this enjoyable BBC show are light and comedic in tone, and hence are – unlike the later seasons – suitable even for younger children. The highlight of these seasons is the performance of Keith-Lee Castle as an out-of-touch vampire father. […]
