Murphy is a horny high-school boy. He has a crush on the cute blonde Conny Sutton, but she just laughs into his face. So he decides to call on the services of a prostitute. Unfortunately he happens upon a vampire and gets bitten, what makes him a vampire too. But actually that isn't so bad, since now he's not only cool enough to impress the chicks, he's also strong and can push around bully Bucky and pay him back. Only his mother isn't happy with his new self and asks a reverend to exorcize him.

I can totally see why this movie unknown. Par for the course. Not entirely sure what writers and/or directors were going for comedy? Horror? Schlock? B-movie? Total miss on all of the above. I couldn't muster a laugh on any of it. But you could see that they were trying really hard to make you laugh. Total unknown actors. Acting is obviously the worst I've seen lately. I think it was an attempt to capitalize on Teen Wolf with Michael J Fox except with a vampire. These two movies don't even come close to comparison. This was more like a home movie project gone horribly wrong. Don't watch it.

There is something so strange about this production. The film stock they used is definitely not the same as is used by mainstream filmmakers. It looks almost like Super 8mm or something primitive and cheap. The performances are all beyond awful, like they cast good-looking non-actors to act in it. As far as Clu Gallager's presence, I suspect somebody got the man drunk and tricked him into signing a contract to appear in this seemingly student-film production. But as poor of a film as "Teen Vamp" is, I still give it 6 stars here, first, because it is so weird and obscure. And it has some other qualities too. For some reason I found it kind of erotic, despite the fact that there is no graphic sex. The vampire is a strange looking guy who is obsessed with an unattainable female classmate who snubs him for being a loser. But when he is transformed into a blood sucker with creepy white eyes, she suddenly gets all hot for him. Simultanaesly she shows that, even though she is a pretty blond airhead, she actually has a fascination with evil. She even takes him to an abandoned house where a man decapitated his twin babies and switched their heads! Also, you keep expecting it be a comedy, but it never really gets there. Instead it remains quite dark and sinister. Others bitched about the make-up effects but I thought they were fine, and the white vampire eyes were suitably creepy. And I'm surprised nobody mentioned the heavy atmospheric quality it has. The washed out film stock, the 1950's cars and clothes, and this seedy quality somehow comes together nicely. The actor they cast as Murphy the vampire is suitably skinny and creepy-looking, but also kind of sexy. He reminded me of Ryan Gosling, if Ryan Gosling smoked a lot of crack and had some mental issues. Weird, very obscure title, that I'm sure is not easy to find. But worth searching for if you are obsessed with vampires..or just truly strange cinema.

From the desk of Delbert Haney...The comments are right - this wasn't a funny scary movie, nor a scary funny movie. But the script WAS funny - it was killed because the company ran out of money at editing time and chopped it to bits. I got to do a library scene with Mr. Gullager that taught me more about acting than anything to this date. Please take a moment to laugh at the GLARING continuity errors: It takes place in the 50's, but a 50-star flag is the first moving thing you see. Also, when we're selling Cokes at the football game, the 70's Coke WAVE is plastered on the boxes... Please notice at the end how clothes change miraculously (jackets on, jackets not on...now a sweater...not a shirt!) This was the most "special" effect in the entire film. Just heartbroken that we didn't make MST3K - we've been great!

This horrible film was shot at my old High School. My older brother was going there at the time, but didn't try to be an extra -- the moron! I remember hearing all the excitement over the film as a kid. I also remember being aloud to watch it once it got on video ... which was great, since it showed boobies and I was like ... 12!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, by default, it might be the most important film ever made for people who grew up in South Bossier City!. So, hail to the red. Hail to the white. Hail alter mater, hail to her might. (Go Parkway) True faith full students. True faithful students. We praise thee to the sky, Loyal forever to Parkway High Gooooooooooooooo Panthers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My review was written in May 1989 after watching the movie on New World video cassette. Only related by title to New World's "Vamp", "Teen Vamp" is an amateurish, Southern-fried horror comedy with little to offer home video fans. Shot in Shreveport, Louisiana, on an evidently threadbare budget, pic wallows in '50s nostalgia for a nonstory of nerd Beau Bishop transformed (very unconvincingly) into a leather-jacketed hip dude after a prostitute at a road house bites him. His vampire status is taken very matter-of-factly by all concerned, except his pretty girlfriend Angie Brown, who demands he bite her too! Cornpone approach to the vampire genre doesn't work, and isn't helped by amateur sound recording, poor makeup effects and a far too talky script. Guest stars Karen Carlson as Bishop's mom and Clu Gulager as a hammy minister have little to do. Bishop's charmless performance is a drag.

Actually that film is quite safe. Okay, this was cheaper looking than I was expecting. And I wonder how they managed to rope in Glu Gulager? Reminded me of a two-bit horror-comedy (which doesn't always gel) take of Jim Carrey's 'Once Bitten', but set in a Bible Belt town during the 1950's. A nerdy, unpopular teenager (Beau Bishop looking too old for the role... unless it's an in-joke) is transformed into a glowing green eyed vampire after spending a night with a lady of the night in a sleazy motel. Suddenly he's the talk of the high school, and his dream girl wants to get to know him. Still kooky, but a little darker and deadpan where the cheap look and execution plays to its advantage. The material's humour can be flat and have you cringing with dry character exchanges, but there's a weird vibe in its attempts of horror which can go for the jugular. Starts kinda slow, but once blood sucking begins. It gets better as it moves along with the odd surprise or two up its sleeve.

'50s high-school loser Murphy (Beau Bishop) plucks up the courage to ask cute blonde Conny (Angie Brown) for a date, but is bluntly turned down. Instead, he pays a visit to a local whorehouse where he hooks up with a leggy brunette who turns out to be a vampire looking for virgin blood. Having been bitten, Murphy transforms into a cocky, leather-jacketed bloodsucking hotshot who is strong enough to deal with jock bully Bucky (Evans Dietz) and cool enough to attract the attention of the once unattainable Conny. No doubt inspired by the success of Teen Wolf, as well as teen-friendly vampire films Vamp, Fright Night and The Lost Boys, this low-budget horror/comedy fails on every level: it's not scary, it's not funny, the central character is unlikable, the love interest is a psychotic cat killer, and the plot is all over the place, even throwing some ghosts into the mix. There's little gore, and the only nudity on display comes from Bucky: a lingering shot of him from behind in the shower, and an extreme close up of his bare ass (making the film perfect for a double-bill with that queer horror classic A Nightmare On Elm Street 2). After lots of quite frankly plain embarrassing silliness (Clu Gulager, what were you thinking?), the movie closes on a happy note, with everyone who was turned into a vampire reverting to normality when the hooker vamp is killed (all except for Conny, who is presumably still a nutjob). About the only good thing in the whole movie is the simple but effective look of the vampires: contact lenses and fangs and a bit of slap to make them look pale.

This film had a lot going for it. It had pretty good casting, bringing in the likes of Clu Gulager as a Reverend was just plain hillarious. But the film just can't succeed for these reasons: 1) When does this film take place? Everyone is driving 1950's cars and all that, but I don't recall anyone ever mentioning that the film took place in the 50's. 2) Everyone in this film is dull. The characters are alternitively dull and boring and no one looks comfortable in his or her roll. Also, the characters are very one-dimentional, and you get the feeling the writer was not trying to impress anyone with his material. 3) The make-up effects are awful. You can plainly see that no work was put in when doing the make-up. 4) This movie is trying to act as a spoof of vampire-type films, but it really isn't a comedy. It's not something you'd sit down as a family and watch and it certainly isn't spoofing any one movie in particular. 5) The film is truly boring and offers nothing new. The writing is not original and everyone just seems to be plodding along with his or her material. 6) The characters aren't likable. You get the feeling that the writers were trying to make you push for Murphy to get Connie, but you just get the feeling that he isn't the right guy for her. 7) There isn't enough gore and scars for this film to act as horror. And there isn't enough laughs for this film to be comedy/spoof. 8) The directing falls short on every level. I wasn't expecting much when I went into this film, but I came out feeling even worse. 9) The writer needed to include more character development. We don't really find out much about the characters. All in all, the only memorable scene in this film is when Clu Gulager tried to perform an exorcism on Murphy because they felt he was possessed. That was great! And you get the feeling the producers were surprised and delighted when Clu Gulager agreed to do this film because they have his name all over the box. The catch is you don't see him until 45 minutes into the film. This film isn't great, so I wouldn't recommend it. I've seen worse then this but not much. This film is definitly MST3K material, and it's a wonder that it didn't get on the show. Truly, HOBGOBLINS had more going for it then this did. *out of****A Waste Of Your Time
