This used to be my definition of a scary movie, back when I was having sleep overs in primary school. Now, I'd almost call it a comfort movie, like a bowl of pasta. It's interesting to go back and pick out early examples of Joss Whedon's humour. I wonder how the film would have turned out, had he been able to guide it in the way he wanted.
Though I'm a loyal fan of the TV series, Kristy Swanson was actually really good as Buffy. She strikes a good balance between light-hearted vapid and taking her fate seriously. And her martial arts is passable. Luke Perry's, however, is not. And Rutger Hauer's violin playing is awful.
Tell you what, if their movie depictions are anything to go by, cheerleaders sure have changed since the 90s.
Final Thought: Not everyone agrees with me, but Paul Reubens' death scene is one of the best things to ever happen in a movie.
Up Next: A Bug's Life (1998)
