I saw a trailer for this family horror fantasy adventure and thought it looked like a fun film to try, so I did. Basically little Tony Thompson (Jonathan Lipnicki) is having constant nightmares about vampires, and he is also wanting to find a friend, and what he gets is a real young vampire Rudolph Sackville-Bagg (introducing Rollo Weeks). The two of them are inseparable, but their fun isn't going to last because his family: father Frederick (Richard E. Grant), mother Freda (Star Trek: First Contact's Alice Krige), sister Anna (Anna Popplewell) and brother Gregory (Dean Cook) are needing to find a magical stone to free them the curse of being a vampire, and drinking cow's blood. They need to find it fast, because on the lookout for their kind and the stone is vampire hunter Rookery (Jim Carter). Of course it comes to the night of the Attamon comet crossing the moon, and after a few distractions the vampires are freed of their curse, and the film ends with Tony being able to be human friends with Rudolph and family. Also starring Pamela Gidley as Dottie Thompson, Tommy Hinkley as Bob Thompson and John Wood as Lord McAshton. This is a film that will appeal both to the younger and older generations, filled with some good giggly moments, it a fun family film. Worth watching!
