Benjamin the Vampire Slayer

Rating: 10/10 (9 August 2008)

Shy graduate Dustin Hoffman (as Benjamin Braddock) falls under the spell of powerful vampire Anne Bancroft (as Mrs. Robinson); reluctantly, he becomes a member of her cult. Then, Mr. Hoffman falls in love with budding young cultist Katharine Ross (as Elaine). Ms. Ross is being kept pure, for a planned sacrificial ritual. During the rite, Hoffman takes a cross to the cultists, barricades their temple, and rescues the young woman. Having disarmed the cult, Hoffman and Ross begin an exciting, albeit uncertain, future...
In short, a seductive, inspirational film; and, a career peak for Mike Nichols, Anne Bancroft, and Dustin Hoffman.
