The Little Vampire
Based on the popular books, the story tells of Tony who wants a friend to add some adventure to his life. What he gets is Rudolph, a vampire kid with a good appetite. The two end up inseparable, but their fun is cut short when all the hopes of the vampire race could be gone forever in single night. With Tony's access to the daytime world, he helps them to find what they've always wanted.
Critics Sentiment
Tony and Rudolph race Rookery to retrieve the amulet
Tony gets picked on by Flint and Nigel
The film jumps from its lowest point during the school bullying scenes to much higher sentiment once Tony meets Rudolph and the vampire family storyline begins.
Critics found The Little Vampire to be a charming family film that exceeded expectations, with consistently strong praise for the cast performances, particularly Richard E. Grant and Rollo Weeks. The sentiment builds steadily from a slow start through the friendship development and peaks during the exciting chase sequences. While some noted minor plot logic issues, reviewers appreciated the film's ability to entertain both children and adults without being patronizing.
