Never have watched it. A lot of people love it though.

The movie just seems so delicious to me. Dumb cheerleader is stalked by Donald Sutherland, who then tells her that she has to kill vampires? Count me in!

And I so I watched 5 minutes of it. It's awful.

Just cannot dig modern vampire stuff.

The show has a very, very different feel compared to the movie. If you're interested, give it a shot.

As Bingowings said, the show's not really about vampires so much as it's about the kids. The monsters and such are metaphors for things kids go through.
