Sinopsis(1)
Darren Shan se parece a la mayoría de los chicos de su barrio residencial. Pasa mucho tiempo con su mejor amigo, Steve, saca buenas notas y no suele meterse en líos. Pero el destino quiere que un circo ambulante se cruce en el camino de Darren y de su amigo, y algo empieza a cambiar en su interior. A partir de ese momento, un vampiro llamado Larten Crepsley, ofrece convertirle en algo, digamos, sanguinario. El recién "no muerto" se une al Circo de los Extraños, un espectáculo con criaturas monstruosas como el Chico Serpiente, un Hombre Lobo, la mujer barbuda Madame Truska y un gigantesco presentador llamado Mr. Tall/Sr. Alto. Darren empieza a hacer sus pinitos en este nuevo y oscuro universo, pero no tarda en convertirse en una codiciada presa entre los vampiros y sus letales enemigos, los "vampenezes". En su lucha por la supervivencia, intentará desesperadamente impedir que la inminente guerra acabe por devorar la poca humanidad que le queda. (Universal Pictures España)

I probably had expectations too different from what I ultimately got. I thought this would be fun, that it would be different, that it would approach the vampire myth humorously, maybe even satirically, but this is just boring, with very good actors, but even they can't save the fact that this is basically Fright Night for kids.

I don't know the book, so (perhaps fortunately) I can't compare them, but: All of the monsters that appeared in the film were really interesting (it's a pity that some of them didn't get more space), with Reilly's vampire being the best, followed by Dafoe, Salma Hayek and Jane Krakowski (I could watch these two all the time). The main character is such a typical teenager who comes to happiness and moral lessons, while the rest of the characters (except for two memorable villains) are worthless. Including those demented parents. I liked the music, the special effects and the visuals are decent... It works perfect as relaxation. Undemanding fun with some really good jokes by John C. Reilly. Three and a half = above average.

Decently made but awfully annoying horror for kids. I don’t know how the book tells the story, but I would have preferred it to be adapted in any other way than in this adolescently superficial one. Besides, this type of overcooked fantasy where anything can happen because there are no rules pisses me off in general.
