Official Vampires Suck Trailer

My immediate reaction: this is an SNL skit.  Upon watching the entire trailer, I realized this was a real movie coming out just two months after Twilight: Eclipse arrived on the big screen.

Vampires Suck is a film making fun of the Twilight saga.  From Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer (Date Movie, Scary Movie, Disaster Movie, and Meet the Spartans) comes a film that the anti-Edward and Jacob fans will appreciate.

As a huge Twilight fan, I was a little taken aback at first; however, when I realized how funny the movie looks, I thought the idea was brilliant.  First, what great publicity for the Twilight saga (as if it needed anymore) and second, the hilarious spoofs will most likely make all the Twilight fans go to see it as well.

From what I can see in the trailer, they’ve taken some of the most memorable scenes from Twilight and made a hilarious spoof out of them – like when Bella first meets Edward’s family and gets a paper cut.  In the Vampires Suck trailer, they show one of the guys in the family looking at Bella’s finger, then at her, and envisions her face turning into a Big Mac.  One of my favorite parts was when Edward powders his face with a compact and mirror in hand.  The trailer also brought pop-culture into the mix by featuring spoofs of Lady Gaga, Alice and Wonderland, and a Chihuahua.

I’m curious to know what your thoughts are.  Will you be at the theatre on August 18th?  Leave a comment below.
