VAMP. Hated this when I first saw it on it's original release but enjoyed it more on this viewing mainly for the slither of weirdness that runs through the film. What is basically a poor teen comedy is enlivened by odd quirks of character, fantastic lighting, set dressings that make no attempt at being based in reality ( check out the ultra clean, dry ice weirdness of the sewers), "Wizard of Oz" references and albino street gangs with Afro American girl friends. Weird but not weird enough.
