The Vampire Next Door
Cameron is a lovable loser slacker who has taken a gap year after high school. He works at an ice cream shop & he still has a crush on Diane from high school. After a mysterious girl, Victoria, begins house sitting next door, she blackmails Cameron into being her driver for some suspicious nightly missions. As Cameron begins to bond with Victoria, a quirky romantic quadrangle develops between Cam, Di, Vic, & this idiot named Martin. Add in Cam’s coworker, Lucy, as a 5th wheel. Love is complicated. In this horror/romance story with a sense of humor, Diane & Victoria are out-of-his-league gorgeous. You should have caught on from the title that this is a vampire movie, but it is more about the personal relationships rather than killing of individuals & it has got a few twists to it. Will Cameron finally figure out what he wants in life? Will the vampire hunter successfully claim total revenge? Will there be a sequel?
Alien gives it 3 “love bites” stars out of 4.
