Ever been to movies with a friend (probably a female) who spent the whole time going gaa-gaa over a character in the film… doing the "oh he’s so adorable" routine for the entire film?

Well that’s me, when it comes to Jonathon Lipnicki; he’s just so cute! I get the feeling he’ll go a long way in the film industry even when he’s older and passed the insanely cute stage.

The little Vampire is the store of Tony Thompson (Jonathon) who has moved from the United States to a dark and mysterious house in Scotland where his father is working.

Tony soon becomes the subject and ridicule and bullying at his new school, as he doesn’t really seem to fit in the well.

All of this changes though when he meets Rudolph a little Vampire around the same age as Tony. The two instantly become best friends and… no! Not from sucking each other’s blood! The story then develops into a bit of a thicker plot with Rudolph’s family in search of an amulet, which has been hidden for 300 years. This amulet would give them the power to become humans. The catch is, the amulet will only work it’s magic on one night on the passing of a comet. All too easy unless you have a vampire hunter on our trail that knows this secret and is determined to prevent it from happening.

This does not have a significant effect on the transfer and I would generally attribute it to a filming problem rather than a transfer fault.

The colour palette is exquisite! A good example of a nicely rendered bigger budget film with bright heavily saturated colours, complimented with the dark subtle and calming colours of the Scottish country side, night or day the colour was perfect.

The surround channels seemed to be used sparingly to support some small directional effects and the score.

The LFE channel was also used sparingly and never really made itself present that much.
