"Vampires Suck" a Twilight Parody

"Vampires Suck" is the fifth of many parody movies directed, produced, and written by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, the latter a fellow Canadian born in Mississauga, Ontario. 

Finally someone came out with a movie that makes fun of Twilight, and I have to say they do a pretty good job doing it. There are other references to other popular Vampire shows, but the bulk of the movie is about Twilight. From Bella's stuttering and lip biting, to Jacob taking his shirt off for attention, this movie takes every little thing that makes Twilight great and just makes you want to laugh at it.

I walked into this movie knowing it would be pretty bad, and after seeing "Date Movie" and "Epic Movie" I expected less and less. However hating Twilight as much as I do, I feel like they thoroughly got the point across in the way they directed the movie like the Twilight Series and compressed it. 
 
The movie starts out like the second film "New Moon", in Italy, then flashes back to the beginning of "Twilight" in a little town called Sporks. Just like the film series, the film is about a girl "Becca" who's adjusting to a new life, in a new town, with a new set of people. She meets the Sullens, whom she feels are different from everyone else in a cold, pale skin kind of way. In that family she meets Edward Sullen whom she feels a strange attraction to. 

What jumps out of the page is definitely the ending. It's not like Breaking Dawn, where the last volume is kind of...or at least I think horribly written and it's just such a filler...but the ending of this movie is definitely something that makes up for the movie.
