- 42Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallTampa Bay TimesSteve PersallAfter a lucrative career of bashing well-made scary, epic, disaster and date movies, Friedberg and Seltzer have a source begging to be mocked.
- 40The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThis pointless parody dumps us in the fictional town of Sporks, Wash., a location lousy with vampires and werewolves.
- As if a string of bad jokes wasn't enough, Vampires Suck is full of distractingly forced pop culture references and shameless product placements (the actors practically mug for the camera while holding various products).
- 30The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe main performers do a reasonably good job of parodying the "Twilight" leads, with Proske particularly effective in subtly lampooning Kristen Stewart's moody mannerisms.
- 30Arizona RepublicArizona RepublicTwo very important things to note about Vampires Suck: The film is a spoof of the "Twilight" movies, and the title is a good indication of where the level of wit lies.
- 25Orlando SentinelRoger MooreOrlando SentinelRoger MooreIf Kristen Stewart ever saw Vampires Suck, she'd be scarred for life.
- 25San Francisco ChroniclePeter HartlaubSan Francisco ChroniclePeter HartlaubThat Vampires Suck is a step above god-awful is something of a miracle.
- 25The A.V. ClubNathan RabinThe A.V. ClubNathan RabinThe boys similarly deserve very minor props for choosing a satirical target that lends itself to satire: the glum, self-important Twilight novels and movies. Sadly, that's where the filmmakers' mild accomplishments end and the groaningly predictable hackwork begins.
- 20VarietyJoe LeydonVarietyJoe LeydonThe lame mediocrity of Vampires Suck undeniably reps an advance for writer-directors Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer. By just about any other standard, however, this instantly forgettable trifle is fairly close to worthless.
- 12Washington PostWashington PostVampires suck? That's a matter of opinion. But here's what inarguably, unequivocally does suck: Vampires Suck.
