Directed by: Howard Storm
Cast: Lauren Hutton, Jim Carrey, Karen Kopins
Time: 94 minutes
Mark Kendall is high school student whose biggest wish is to lose his
virginity. He has a girlfriend, Robin, but she is hesitant to do the deed, as
she wants it to be special. While out at a Hollywood nightclub with his two
best friends, Mark is seduced by a blonde Countess. Unbeknownst to him, she is
a centuries-old vampire who needs three doses of blood from the same virgin before
Halloween to stay young.
This is the first leading role for Jim Carrey in a feature film. The plot is silly, but the film does not seem to take itself seriously, which gives it some charm. The acting itself is okay. There are some funny lines here and there, and we can catch a glimpse of the antics that would later make Carrey famous. There are some scenes of facial mugging in a store and a dance scene that are particularly worth seeing.
