The Little Vampire**
Ger/Netherlands/US 2000. Cometstone/Aurora Media/Propaganda Films/Stonewood Communications. 95m.

A dysfunctional American child in Scotland befriends a family of vampires who are trying to break an ancient curse.
Amiable children's fantasy adventure, turning conventional horror wisdom on its head by having vampires as heroes and their hunters as villains, and plenty of Gothic special effects instead of scares. The cast throw themselves into it enthusiastically.
