(L, VV, O, Ab) 5 obscenities & 2 profanities; martial-arts violence, stakes through chests & vampire electrocuted; vampirism & reincarnation; and, unbiblical concept of "slayer" with "the mark of the coven" who is "chosen" to terminate vampires & Merick states he will go to Heaven when the vampires are destroyed, establishing an unbiblical idea of salvation.
More Detail:
Buffy (Kristy Swanson) is a vacuous, mall-crawling valley girl. However, a centuries-old man named Merick (Donald Sutherland) tells Buffy that she is the “chosen one”, having “the mark of the coven”, and under Merick’s training, she is transformed into BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER. It seems that a particularly persistent bloodsucker named Lothos (Rutger Hauer) and his sidekick (Paul “Pee Wee Herman” Rubens) have staked out suburban L.A. as their new territory. Merick has appeared to awaken Buffy’s latent paranormal skills and coach her in battle against the vampires. They are joined by a scruffy drop-out auto mechanic named Pike (Luke Perry). Thus, Buffy is drawn into a final showdown at the Senior Prom.
BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER is mercifully short on blood and gore, compared to other vampire comedies. Most of the action consists of martial arts, backflips and wooden stakes being driven through vampires. Regrettably, the movie involves reincarnation and the vampire premise itself–an unspeakable evil and a perversion. BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER also offers negative characterizations of adults. In fact, the film is merely another stereotypical teen flick, only a little short on profanity, violence, and immorality.
