Jackson Booth-Millard I saw a trailer for this family horror fantasy adventure and thought it looked like a fun film to try, so I did. Basically little Tony Thompson (Jonathan Lipnicki) is having constant nightmares about vampires, and he is also wanting to find a friend, and what he gets is a real young vampire Rudolph Sackville-Bagg (introducing Rollo Weeks). The two of them are inseparable, but their fun isn't going to last because his family: father Frederick (Richard E. Grant), mother Freda (Star Trek: First Contact's Alice Krige), sister Anna (Anna Popplewell) and brother Gregory (Dean Cook) are needing to find a magical stone to free them the curse of being a vampire, and drinking cow's blood. They need to find it fast, because on the lookout for their kind and the stone is vampire hunter Rookery (Jim Carter). Of course it comes to the night of the Attamon comet crossing the moon, and after a few distractions the vampires are freed of their curse, and the film ends with Tony being able to be human friends with Rudolph and family. Also starring Pamela Gidley as Dottie Thompson, Tommy Hinkley as Bob Thompson and John Wood as Lord McAshton. This is a film that will appeal both to the younger and older generations, filled with some good giggly moments, it a fun family film. Worth watching!

dmt163 my son has loved this movie from aged 3 till 7 and he still loves to watch it. We have worn it out at the local vid store (and i cant seem to get it anywhere) It has family value, mystery & magic as well as teaching friendship matters. Top family movie that even Im not tired of watching. AA+++ . You have to smile at this real attempt to keep us all at family values and tolerence to different people (whether real or not) parents get the last say on what is right... anyone can be friends no mater what our difference, colour/race/vampire or whateva my son loves the movie and I love that I can reinforce issues with a movie he loves. AND my teenage kids like it too although they wont watch it more than once a month!!

callanvass i actually really enjoyed this it was pretty well made had awesome acting and the plot was really neat and it had stylish direction and some good visuals although not really a horror movie and mostly for kids i found this to be a entertaining little flick so rent it *** out of 5

scl-6 A very winning cast, great location, superb kids' story to work with, good production make for some campy scariness for kids with entertainment for mom and dad as well. Charming little movie that appeals to the kid in all of us.The predicament of the cows really did make me laugh out loud. The acting by one and all was excellent, especially Richard E. Grant as the head of the vampire family. He brought a non-threatening, yet nerve wracking (well, for kids, anyway) presence to the movie. His charming powers over Mrs. Thompson were hysterical, and the entire cast did very well with this movie.One for the kids that mom and dad will enjoy sitting through, which is a rarity anymore, except for the likes of Shrek.Oh, and I can't omit Rollo Weeks, as The Little Vampire himself. He was so charming, so perfectly nailed the role of Rudolph. As well as the role for arguably the cutest kid in movies, Jonathan Lipnicki, as Tony Thompson. The crush Anna had on him was acted out adorably by Anna Popplewell, as well. There was just great acting all around in The Little Vampire.A job well done by all involved. This will make my list of movies to purchase just to share with my grandkids that someday I'll have to spoil. Campy, scary enough for the little ones and entertaining for their parents. What's not to like?
