The mix of horror and comedy don't entirely work and the supporting characters aren't memorable, but as a comedic lead, this is the perfect star vehicle for Zoey Deutch.

... All of the magic and secret ancient race gobbledygook in Vampire Academy is just so much mush.

It felt very Disney Channel Original movie.

It turns out my first assumption was correct and it is garbage.

| Apr 24, 2020

The movie offers 104 minutes of breathless exposition, just one elephant-sized plot dump after another.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 15, 2019

The gothic sets and oxblood colour palette are ripped straight from a Heart video. The frenetic pacing, more appropriate, perhaps, for a first-person video game, had me craving a Ritalin Latte.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Dec 11, 2018

The young women in the disjointed Vampire Academy are out for blood but the rest of us will be itching for the next available transfusion after witnessing this dismissive, fanged fable.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Nov 11, 2018

Vampire Academy is entertaining.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 15, 2018

In spite of using the standard elements of a high school drama (read: Mean Girls-meets-The Princess Diaries), Vampire Academy doesn't suck (pun intended)! It's about friendship, high-school crushes, romance and much more.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 15, 2017

[Vampire Academy] is cheesy, derivative and filled with simply drawn characters.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Sep 8, 2017

Another young-adult adaptation bites the dust.

| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Jan 9, 2017

Vampire Academy is often more fun than many brainless supernatural tween films.

| Original Score: C+ | Jun 21, 2016

What's saddest of all is that the Gen Y audience this is meant for will be so busy texting during the film they won't notice how poor it is, they'll love it -- and there will be a sequel.

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 23, 2016

...I hoped for better but am not displeased with slightly messy, campy but funny and entertaining vamp dramedy I got.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jul 20, 2015

It's too transparently a ploy to hook teenage girls by combining vampires, Hogwarts, and princesses, three things that teenage girls presumably adore.

| Original Score: C- | Jul 14, 2015

A film that attempts to satire the popular love triangle romances of the current day, yet falls into the same tired cliches of said films.

| Original Score: D+ | Apr 23, 2015

The action is underwhelming and the plot muddled, taking so long to explain the saga's complex mythology that there's no time left to flesh out the characters. Which is a shame, as Deutch's heroine has a sassy spark.

| Jul 27, 2014

Rarely have I felt such disconnect between material and the actors tasked with performing it as I did with Mark Waters' Vampire Academy.

I died a little bit inside.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 27, 2014

Richelle Mead's sharp series of young-adult novels might have been better off being adapted for longform 온라인카지노추천, rather than the big-screen blunting they cop here.
