First off i would like to give a HUGE thank you to my favorite author , Darren Shan, for making the Cirque du Freak series.
The movie, Cirque du Freak, starts off briefly in the middle of the second book, with Darren in the coffin.Then the movie takes off from there into the opening credits.
This hour and 30 mins long movie does not mirror the first three books completely, but thats ok, cause the Harry Potter movie does not completely mirror the series either, anywho.
Vampire's Assistant, was actually ,surprisingly, a very good, jaw dropping, and epic movie! although some parts was added ex: darren and the monkey girl kissing, and if u have read the books , darren does not kiss a girl until the middle of the series and has a girl friend named Debbie.
Mr.Crepsly's character was not exactly the same way described in the book, but was played very well as funny and very sarcastic towards Darren.
Darren became a half-vampire for the sake of saving Steve, his best friend. Poor Steve was hospitalized because of the bite to the face by Madam Octa, Mr.Creply's pet spider.
this movie was rated "***" three stars and is recommend for kids above the age of 13, i agree because of the "foul" languages that is often used.
You might want to consider this movie , even if u never even read the books, but i do also RECOMMEND THE BOOKS!!! The books are fast pacing and will want you 'blood thirsty for more!!!" you may want to skip the first book b.e it only talks about the life style of Darren and a little about the Cirque du Freak.
