Buffy Summers (Kristy Swanson) has the lifestyle any young woman could want. Cheerleading, dating the Captain of the basketball team, and copious amounts of time spent shopping with friends. She had no idea of her true calling until a mysterious man named Merrick (Donald Sutherland) approached her and told her that she is the Slayer; one woman called to defend the world from vampires. Reluctant to concede to the fact, Buffy soon learns that Merrick speaks the truth and so begins to take her new life seriously while trying to maintain the sense of normality her life had once been. With her best friends slowly abandoning her, Buffy finds solace in the town outcast, Pike (Luke Perry), who knows very well the terrors that have arisen. Together, they combat the forces of the old and powerful vampire, Lothos (Rutger Hauer), who has his eyes set on Buffy.

| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfBuffy isn't funny or scary, it's just mediocre, slowly losing interest in itself as Kuzui runs out of imagination. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Jay ScottBuffy the Vampire Slayer, a slight, good-humored film that's a lot more painless than might have been expected. Ms. Swanson's funny, deadpan delivery holds the story together reasonably well, as does the state-of-the-art Val-speak that constitutes most of Buffy's dialogue. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.Serves more as a fun guilty pleasure, but one that chooses to embrace the absurdity and run with it... |
| Empire MagazineEmma CochraneEnjoyable, but now basically a footnote to the TV series. |
| Washington PostHal HinsonThe movie is a mess from start to finish. But then again, this jerky, haphazard approach is part of the movie's goofy charm. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranThis spoof vampire flick's sole joke is that the heroine (Kristy Swanson) is a blonde, L.A. airhead rather than a beefed-up stake-toter, mentored by Donald Sutherland's deadpan Watcher. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris Hicks...most of the way it feels like a padded TV skit. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsMark R. LeeperA film that bears the earmarks of having been made from the first draft of a script, then edited by someone who was not interested in the material. |
| Washington PostDesson HoweBuffy is amusing for a time but its destiny is to die in a disappointing, long-winded conclusion. The second half feels stretched out and muddled, as if screenwriter Joss Whedon drove a stake through his script. However, in his depiction of the vapid SoCal world, Whedon knows the territory. |
| Flipside Movie EmporiumRob VauxI know I stand alone on this, but Kristy Swanson is the one true Buffy. |
