Vampires Suck is a comedic exploration of teenage romance and angst spoofing many of the recent teen movies. Becca is torn between two boys; the mysterious, moody and ridiculously pale guy, or the stable and sweet one who reminds her of a little gay brother. In her quest to decide between the two she must survive a family dinner without actually becoming the dinner, made even harder by a group of vampires (who look very much like the black eyed peas) who are also set on eating her! If her romantic entanglements were not enough, she is also trying to deal with her controlling father, who still sees her as a little girl and insists on carrying her around strapped to him in a baby bjorn! As prom night looms Becca must make some tough decisions, helped along by everyone from Alice from wonderland to lady gaga. (20th Century Fox AU)

There were a few laughs, but otherwise it's rather poor. Too awkward in places and literally tedious in the second half, which is a bad sign for a parody of Twilight. Fifty Shades of Black is a level above maybe even two above. 4/10.

Werewolf humor, Black Eyed Peas, or ordering Chinese food is fine, but unfortunately that's where we end. Surprisingly, the problem with the vampire parody is not that it is so disgusting or terrible, rather just boring. Fortunately, the running time barely stays on the line suitable for a feature film, and bathroom humor has been practically eradicated. The second star landed only for relative harmlessness, because the feeling that this script was written in the afternoon and that it is much easier to hit Twilight remains too prominent.

I'm not a fan of parody, but my curiosity got the better of me... I adore Twilight and know it perfectly, so some scenes entertained me quite a bit. I have to admit that the leads were good, some of the supporting characters quite good as well. Still, I would have cut a lot of the awkward scenes.
