Rose Hathaway is a dhampir, half-vampire and half-human, who is training to be a guardian at St Vladimir's Academy along with many others like her. There are good and bad vampires in their world: Moroi, who co-exist peacefully among the humans and only take blood from donors, and also possess the ability to control one of the four elements - water, earth, fire or air; and Strigoi, blood-sucking, evil vampires who drink to kill. Rose and other dhampir guardians are trained to protect Moroi and kill Strigoi throughout their education. Along with her best friend, Princess Vasilisa Dragomir, a Moroi and the last of her line, with whom she has a nigh unbreakable bond, Rose must run away from St Vladimir's, in order to protect Lissa from those who wish to harm the princess and use her for their own means.
Leave your thoughts about Vampire Academy.
| Movie TalkJason BestThe action is underwhelming and the plot muddled, taking so long to explain the saga's complex mythology that there's no time left to flesh out the characters. Which is a shame, as Deutch's heroine has a sassy spark. |
| The Film StageJohn FinkWell-directed and fun, if not a bit too long and perhaps concerned with a plot that’s not nearly as engaging as its leads, Vampire Academy is a little smarter than your average teen adventure, but it’s certainly not Heathers or Mean Girls. |
| Film School RejectsKate ErblandVampire Academy ultimately doesn't have much bite, but that doesn't stop it from trying to continually show its teeth. |
| Boston GlobePeter KeoughDespite such attractions as Gabriel Byrne as a vampire with a skin disease and a décor that combines Hogwarts with “Suspiria,” the only lesson learned here is that Hollywood needs fresh blood. |
| ChrisStuckmann.comChris StuckmannA film that attempts to satire the popular love triangle romances of the current day, yet falls into the same tired cliches of said films. |
| The Young FolksGabrielle Bondi...I hoped for better but am not displeased with slightly messy, campy but funny and entertaining vamp dramedy I got. |
| The Times of IndiaRenuka VyavahareIn spite of using the standard elements of a high school drama (read: Mean Girls-meets-The Princess Diaries), Vampire Academy doesn't suck (pun intended)! It's about friendship, high-school crushes, romance and much more. |
| NerdistWitney SeiboldI'm happy to report that Vampire Academy is actually a pretty fun little flick that shoots for flip and actually lands there. |
| Metro Times (Detroit, MI)Corey HallI can't speak for Richelle Mead's novels, but I'm assuming they read like the instruction manuals for a role playing game: there are both too many, and not enough, rules. |
| Shockya.comPerri NemiroffIt doesn't build its world as deftly as 'Hunger Games' and can't compete with 'Mean Girls'' smart wit, but 'Vampire Academy' does manage to find a place for itself as a silly yet enjoyable variant. |
