Vampires Suck is a straightforward parody of the Twilight saga by Friedberg and Seltzer, the duo behind Date Movie and Epic Movie. The plot faithfully mirrors Twilight's beats while inserting crude gags and pop-culture references, resulting in a derivative, one-note structure with little narrative inventiveness. Acting is broadly comedic and caricatured, functional for the genre but unremarkable. Cinematography is flat and serviceable — a TV-movie aesthetic with no memorable visual choices. Novelty is low; Twilight parody was already well-trodden territory by 2010 and the film adds little beyond the obvious jokes, following the Friedberg/Seltzer formula closely. The ending wraps up predictably with no surprises. Across the board this is a below-to-average execution of an already thin concept.
