Another teen vampire movie, Vampire Academy didn’t find nearly the audience that the Twilight series did.
Vampire Academy stars Lucy Fry as a 17-year-old Moroi princess (a mortal and peaceful vampire) and Zoey Deutch as her 17-year-old Dhampir (half vampire/half human) guardian-in-training, and they’re hunted by Strigoi (immortal and evil vampires).
Lissa Dragomir (Fry, TV’s Mako Mermaids) and Rose Hathaway (Deutch, Beautiful Creatures) are on the run when they’re captured and taken back to St. Vladamirs Academy, the place where they think their lives are threatened.
Based on the novel by Richelle Mead
The PG-13 film split critics and moviegoers, with critics panning it to 10% approval, according to Rotten Tomatoes, and moviegoers giving it 70%. Of course, many of those moviegoers might have been fans of the book, but their love didn’t translate into much in box office receipts. Vampire Academy grossed only $8 million in theaters.
The Blu-ray and DVD carry these special features:
- alternate opening
- deleted scenes
- featurette “A Conversation With Richelle Mead.”
The Blu-ray also offers a downloadable digital copy via UltraViolet.
Here’s the movie’s trailer:
