Buffy thinks very highly of her keen fashion-sense. In fact, fashion, cheerleading, movies and parties are all she ever thinks about. Then one day, Merrick approaches her; telling her she has a specific mission in life - killing vampires. What good is her "keen fashion-sense" in her new daily tasks?
Buffy Summers has the lifestyle any young woman could want. Cheerleading, dating the captain of the basketball team, and copious amounts of time spent shopping with friends. She had no idea of her true calling until a mysterious man named Merrick approached her and told her that she is the Slayer; one woman called to defend the world from vampires. Reluctant to concede to the fact, Buffy soon learns that Merrick speaks the truth and so begins to take her new life seriously while trying to maintain the sense of normality her life had once been. With her best friends slowly abandoning her, Buffy finds solace in the town outcast, Pike, who knows very well the terrors that have arisen. Together, they combat the forces of the old and powerful vampire, Lothos, who has his eyes set on Buffy.
In 1992, I saw this movie twice at the theater, bought the VHS, and later added it to my DVD collection. As a freshman in high school, I was first merely infatuated with the beautiful Kristy Swanson. I went on to tirelessly rent all of her other mediocre at-best, and more often horrid, flicks (The Chase being the one exception. I stand beside it as a decent movie as well). Now some eleven years later looking back, having an M.A. in English with a thesis containing a large section devoted to vampires, I don't have that same adolescent preoccupation with Swanson, but I do still defend my position that this movie is a lot deeper than the initial surface look.
I did try to watch the series that it spawned, but--and I know I will anger some close friends, including the director of my blessed Master's thesis, in saying this--it just doesn't compare to the original movie. What I've seen of the wildly popular TV series tries to take the subject at hand far too seriously. I mean, come on, how serious can a show be when the heroine is named Buffy. The reason the movie works is because it is supposed to be viewed tongue-in-cheek.
Aside from hosting later Oscar-winners Hillary Swank and Ben Affleck, it also serves as a very effective parody of the vampire and overall horror movie genre. There are some genuinely funny moments in the movie, and if one delves just a bit below the surface, he/she will see that there is a deeper message at work. Vampirism in this movie serves as a metaphor to all the ills of society, and, not unlike the culture of 1992, and even today, many people, especially the "popular crowd" and budding debutantes refuse to acknowledge that there is any larger issue in the world than their own little meaningless concerns of fashion and popularity. Just as the planners of the dance have no clue as to what a socially conscious theme should ensconce, they also take little notice of the current trend of classmates being found mutilated with drained blood (refer to the "Yellow leather jacket" scene for a good dose of dark humor and to further my point).
As for the performances, Swanson really takes the spotlight away from Luke Perry, who at the time was sizzling with his role of Dylan on 90210. She is well cast as a ditzy slayer, though I doubt she could do much more. Her less-than-stellar follow up career has been disgusting as best, though I once thought she might actually have the talent to become a budding Hollywood starlet. Sutherland shines in his brief role as Merrick, slayer trainer. Rip Torn is initially funny as the guidance counselor (love the whole "it's drugs, isn't it?" routine), though at the end his role delivers of the most unfunny lines of the script (the horrible "detention" gag and the "Well, I saw Platoon" line as the credits scroll). And, of course, I cannot forget Paul Reubens (a.k.a. Pee Wee Herman) in his first role, I believe, after the whole "Adult Theater" scandal. His character provides some of the greatest humor, and I must admit his death scene still makes me chuckle after all these years.
At any rate, the long of the short of it is, the TV show has corrupted most people's initial view of the movie. One has to remember when approaching this that it is not meant to be a serious drama like the series. It is a parody, an over-the-top spoof of the vacuousness and self-absorbed malady that was sweeping over the youth of 1992. Many of the TV fans were not yet ripe enough to remember just how Reagan-esque we still were in this era. As a child coming of age in this time, I related, and I understood. Those of my generation will, no doubt, also. Times have changed drastically, but remembering that turbid time in my life, when puberty, raging hormones, and the incessant search for acceptance were my all-consuming motives, I can look back at this movie and appreciate it. Sure, it is a product of its time and the later generation might not fully understand it, but I do not know off-hand of another movie that means quite as much to me at the ripe old age of 26 as this one did. It is more than a movie; it is a Rosetta Stone with which I can measure my formative years, and, for that reason among others, I have developed an appreciation for this much-maligned flick.
I recently saw this movie because I have watched the TV show since it first aired in the UK. I enjoyed the movie because it is enjoyable and easy to watch and it doesn't require a lot of brain power.
If you are a fan of the TV show watch this movie, you may be disappointed with it but it is good to see how a great TV show originated.
The acting is pretty good and features household names like David Arquette and Oscar-winner Hilary Swank. Kristy Swanson is well cast as Buffy, but Rutguer Hauer is under used as the bad guy.
This is a must for any fans of the great TV show, an enjoyable movie with lots of bite!
Neither funny nor scary, Buffy ends up as little more than a bunch of stereotypes (Reubens excepted) squaring off with each other as true love triumphs. Maybe it should have been called "Pee-wee's Big Denture," and given people something to sink their teeth into. But for now, Buffy remains lifeless. [31 Jul 1992, p.43]
In the film Buffy is a senior, while she is a sophomore by the start of the TV series. She lives with a neglectful mother while in the show, her mother is thoughtful and careful even though Buffy becomes the distant one, due to her Slayer routine (Joyce comments in the series that she's not the 'social butterfly I used to be').
In the movie vampires can fly or at very least levitate, don't transform into 'vamp-face' and they don't 'dust' when killed as they do in the TV series (the special effects simply didn't exist yet). In the movie Buffy's vamp-sense is more pronounced whilst in the series she largely relies on her 'keen fashion sense' perhaps it is more intense shortly after a Slayer inherits her powers. There is no indication that Faith, Kendra or any of the other Slayers we meet have the Slayer birthmark Merrick refers to. Merrick refers to himself constantly being reincarnated, if so this appears to be something unique to him as in the series being a Watcher is a family tradition. The movie is much more overtly Christian than the series with Buffy declaring 'I am his (Christ's) sword', possibly a scene rewritten by Donald Sutherland given Joss Whedon's self-professed atheism. No, she just experiences the past memories of the other Slayers who came before her in first person, seeing their experiences through her eyes. According to the Buffy]/i] comics he and Buffy split up in Vegas, as he fears he will endanger her if she has to be constantly worrying about his safety rather than concentrating on Slaying. He makes a return several issues later, for the "Note from the Underground" uncanonical story arc set between seasons Six and Seven. He comes to Sunnydale and rescues a felled Buffy from a horde of demons, which makes clear for him that, in addition to vampires, such creatures also exist.
This comics, however, are not considered canon and Pike is never mentioned throughout the television series. The Buffy episode "Normal Again" suggests that Buffy Summers is a schizophrenic in a mental hospital and her being the Slayer is simply a hallucination caused by her illness. This means that her delusion starts during the Buffy movie when she first meets Merrick and ends with the last scene of the TV series where she destroys Sunnydale, defeats her 'demons', triumphs over the ultimate evil (symbolicaly represented by herself) and is told from now on she must 'live like an ordinary person', Buffy regaining her sanity once more after 7 years, still only 23.
Another theory is that both Asylum Buffy and Sunnydale Buffy are real and have some sort of psychic link across the dimensions which drives Asylum Buffy crazy. After the end of the TV series Buffy is only one of thousands of Slayers so her calling no longer dominates her life, allowing Asylum Buffy to regain her sanity in her early 20s and for both to live a more or less ordinary existence. a5c7b9f00b
