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.

Vampires Anonymous (2003)

Vampyres Anonymous is an at times crude VampireRomCom which never really rises above mediocrity. An interesting premise and some decent acting performances cannot really make up for the shortcomings (which are mostly minor, but numerous). …
