My Babysitter's a Vampire

Plot synopsis:
Ethan Morgan is a geeky freshman, not trusted by his parents to stay home alone with his little sister Jane. They hire Erica, a girl from Ethan's high school who is a huge fan of "Dusk" a parody of Twilight, as a babysitter. However, Erica comes across her best friend Sarah and Jesse, Sarah's vampire ex-boyfriend, on the night she is to babysit, and decides to attend a party that Jesse is throwing instead. During a fight between Sarah and Jesse, Sarah ends up at Ethan's house and tells Ethan's parents that she was asked to babysit instead. Ethan suddenly has a vision when touching Sarah, and notices she has no reflection in the mirror, leaving him suspicious of her. He confides this in his dorky best friend, Benny (Atticus Mitchell).
Sarah leaves to get Erica back from the party, knowing the party is full of bloodthirsty vampires. Curious, the boys have Benny's grandmother watch over Jane while they follow Sarah. They see her feed on a rat and realize she is a vampire. Sarah quickly explains that she is only a fledgling, a vampire who has not drunk human blood. The three of them return home, where they are attacked by a vampire sent by Jesse. The vampire is subdued by Sarah and they head to the vampire party to save Erica and their dimwitted friend, Rory. However, Erica has been bitten by Gord and later bites Rory. Ethan, Benny, and Sarah then battle the vampires and escape.
The next day, Rory, now a full vampire after drinking human blood, informs Ethan and Benny that Jesse's gang are going to church so Ethan, Benny, and Sarah follow them. Ethan has a vision in which he sees a gravestone, whose dates unscramble to the number 219, and a mysterious box, which is then uncovered by the vampires. The box is called the Cubile Animus or "Nest of Souls." Ethan and Sarah figure out Jesse's full plan from an old book, learning that in the original settlement of the town, there was a person who went by the name and title of Reverend Horace Black, who led an evil cabal of vampires. During a lunar eclipse, the townspeople burned all the members, leading to all '219' of their deaths. In another vision, Ethan sees that Jesse is, in fact, Horace Black, and plans to use the box to trap the souls of teens going to see the premiere of the new Dusk movie so he can resurrect the souls of his ancient group during the lunar eclipse occurring on the same night.
Benny's grandmother, who reveals that she is an Earth Priestess, gives Ethan, Benny and Sarah enchanted daggers and a spellbook to defeat the vampires. She explains that Ethan sees visions because he is a Seer, which enables him to see visions through touch, and that Benny is a spellmaster, allowing him to cast spells. At the theater, the vampires begin to steal the souls of the teens, but are thwarted by Ethan, Benny and Sarah. Jesse escapes and Ethan and Benny follow in pursuit. In another vision, Ethan sees the tree he saw inside the old book, realizing it's the tree in his backyard, where they find Jesse. As the eclipse begins, Jesse attempts to hold Ethan and Benny down and resurrect the souls he already obtained from the Cubile Animus, but Sarah intervenes. When the box lands in Ethan's hands, he releases the vengeful souls that were captured, and they destroy Jesse.
The next day, Ethan, Benny and Sarah head to school, meeting Erica and Rory, who have decided to live peacefully as vampires.

Amazing MOVIE.
This Disney Channel Original Movie, I have to say, is a hit.
It has a nice plot, good actors, and plausible effects.
The characters are lovable.
Unlike other Disney Channel Original Movies, there isn't much corny/cheesy content.
It may also appeal to the older audience.
Some people may find it annoying that it is a parody of Twilight, but I don't and most people wont.
So after all, I would recommend this movie to anyone.
It's amazing!
WARNING: Parents should read the parental guide before allowing your kids to watch this, as it contains a few sexual references and mature content..
Entertaining and enjoyable teeny-bopper horror effort.
After learning his fellow student babysitter is a vampire, a kid and his best friend team up with her to battle an evil vampire looking to harvest souls from the town's residents.For a teeny-bopper vampire film, this one turned out to be a lot more fun than anticipated.
One of the better features is that it manages to make the vamps something to be feared.
Despite being set in a world of romantic vampire-lord, the creatures here are incredibly threatening and much more like traditional vampires, setting up a plan to steal souls, putting more interest in feasting than romanticizing and even openly attacking people to turn them into fellow vampires, making it a lot more savvy in dealing with these issues than would be expected.
Even more telling is how much it deals with battling the vamps, managing to contain a lot more battles and confrontations which are a lot more intense, from the big brawl with the pizza-man to the raid on the house party as well as several other pretty big battles in here.
These make the film a lot more action-packed and keeps it from being boring, as the darker-themed storyline and investigations also help out and the humor mixes well with the fair amount of suspense for a rather satisfying film.
The only real down-side, aside from the lack of on-screen vampire violence, is the rather cheesy nature of this one derived from it's teen-centered approach as the jokes and attitudes towards what are supposedly-frightening figures who are instead treated as comical beings is a bit problematic to take for a more seasoned horror fan, yet strangely makes it a more-than-serviceable entry as a starter-horror feature.Rated Unrated/PG: Violence and children-in-jeopardy..
My Babysitter's A Vampire________And Is She A HOTTIE.
The Disney Studios created Wizards Of Waverly Place to take advantage of the Harry Potter popularity, but for their answer to the popularity of the Twilight books they only had to import this film and the series that it spawned from Canada.This film stars Matthew Knight and Atticus Dean Mitchell as a pair of nerd type high school kids who see a lot of strange things going on at their school.
But they've got some more immediate and humiliating problems to deal with, at least Knight does.For going out and leaving his little sister unattended his parents decide that he and the sister need a babysitter.
But when teen dream Vanessa Morgan shows up, in the words of Shakespeare she's a WOW.
But it also turns out that Vanessa is a newly bitten vampire who has to drink some human blood and soon to cement her status among the undead.But where there's one vampire there are many in their middle sized Canadian suburb.
There's a huge plot brewing by head teen vampire Joe Dinicol to raise some souls from way back in the counter reformation days when at that time he was a pastor of a church that practiced the black arts.
But it also turns out that Mitchell and Knight have some hidden inherited talents that makes it possible for them to fight the vampires here and in the TV series.I have to say that the best role in the film is that played by Cameron Kennedy who is their cheerfully geek type friend Rory.
Even after Rory becomes a full fledged vampire, he neither acquires any social graces or really gets into the vampire scene.
He stays friends with Knight and Mitchell and gets the best lines and scenes in the film.My Babysitter's A Vampire is a pleasant and amusing enough made for television film which should spawn a series with a decent run of a few years on the Disney Channel here..
Fright Night for TV.
I liked it!.
The film is by no means a masterpiece.
The story is rather ridiculous, the violence is almost non existent and, besides being with vampires, it is completely not horror.
However, it is really fun.
It reminds me of the original 1985 Fright Night film, only for children and with a lot of sci-fi and horror references.While it is not perfect, it has the potential to become a classic, as the child actors were decent, the production values as well and the people that took part of the project were clearly having a lot of fun filming it.And there is also a series!
I haven't watched it yet, but I am willing to bet it will be fun as well.
Go, Canada!.
Brilliant!.
I personally love this film I have watched it many time with my friends i also love the TV show!
The movie is actually incredible though.
I could watch it again and again!
It is unique, some people say just cause it's vampires it must be like twilight but it's not!
They even make a obvious joke about twilight anyway.
It's such a good film.
I am actually about to just watch it again!
I would recommend this film to everyone who likes any Disney channel movies or anything from Disney channel!
It is funny, and intense!
I am In love with this film and I have no idea what more to say Except WOW..
A very entertaining fun spooky vampire movie..
My Babysitter's A Vampire is the Disney version of Twilight.
It may be a little cheesy and not particularly scary but it's a fun supernatural movie that is enjoyable to watch.
The cast of characters are adorable yet goofy.
It's nice to see some new talent and they actually do a really good job with engaging the audience.I'm also very impressed with the concept and story idea.
They seem to have thought out the idea as it had multi-dimensional plot lines that came together nicely in the end.
Now I don't want to be too harsh so honestly I don't believe I would make any changes to improve the film.
It's a solid effort and perfect spooky Halloween viewing..
Lovable?
Yes, it is :).
I saw a DVD release of this, and technically it's not a master-piece (sound, image and editing), but content-wise it's one of the first movies in a long (looong) time that gets close to having the same excellent spirit that is in the old "nightmare on elm street" films :) Sure, it's not at all similar, in terms of story, but it just has that special something that makes it very enjoyable to watch.Great cast :) The movie could easily have been longer.
In fact it should have been, since there were some scenes that seemed to come out of the blue (Benny and the popcorn-girl scene, for example) like something was edited out.It's quite obvious that this is a pilot to a serial, rather than made to be just a standalone film.
But if you love the show, getting the backstory is very pleasing.
In the show there are many references to past events, but in the film we finally (I saw the serial before the film, so everything is chronologically reverse for me) see these things happen :) It's fun, it'll make you smile, it's friendly, and it's even a bit scary at times :) All in all a keeper you can easily watch more than once :) (I just wish it was released on bluray though, and with as good sound-quality as the show has when broadcast on Disney-channel.
The DVD is sub-standard technically so that's why I give it 7 out of 10.
The like-factor is higher)
