RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Claudio Carvalho In the quiet town of Allburg, USA, Lucy Barret (Ami Dolenz) and her grandmother Hillary Barret (Shirley Spiegler Jacobs) welcome Lucy's friend Cindy Thompson (Maya McLaughlin), who lives with her mother Karen Thompson (Karen Black) in River Junction and will spend a couple of days with Lucy. Cindy invites Lucy to go to swim in the crypt of the church on the Cherry Street, in River Junction, in a weird ritual. When the teenagers are swimming, an evil creature is revived and attacks Cindy.Later, in River Junction, Father Frank Alden (Evan MacKenzie) summons his friend and school teacher Mark Gardner (Peter DeLuise) and shows Cindy and Karen locked in a room turned into vampires. Father Alden asks Mark to travel to Allburg to find the source of vampirism.Mark arrives late night at Hillary's house and he finds that Lucy is trapped in her room since her grandmother has also turned into a vampire. Sooner Mark and Lucy learn that the locals of Allburg has turned into vampires by the ancient vampire Czakyr, who is thirsty of the virgin blood of Lucy, and the only chance to save the dwellers is destroying the powerful vampire."Children of the Night" is a funny vampire movie, with a weird story that combines horror and comedy and released in Brazil only on VHS. The result is uneven but entertains in many moments with funny situations. Who in the hell would bath in a crypt with corpses like the two teenagers do in the beginning of the story? And the grandma removing her denture and showing rotten vampire canines? I could list many bizarre and hilarious situations but better off watching this flick. I saw for the first time on 15 November 2000 and today I decided to watch it again. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Crianças da Noite" ("Children of the Night")

The_Void Watching practically unknown nineties horror films can be a bit hit and miss - and this one is undoubtedly a huge miss! All I realistically expected from this flick was a fun vampire movie, but all I got was rampant boredom. There's very little inventiveness in this film, and essential elements such as tension and suspense are also severely lacking. Director Tony Randel directed the first Hellraiser sequel a few years before this film, and that really got my hopes up as Hellraiser 2 was everything a sequel to the 1987 horror masterpiece should be; but he had much better material to work with then, and that is the principal reason why Children of the Night fails. The plot begins with the ever-present horror theme of some kids taking part in an old college ritual. It involves them swimming in some lake under a church, and they accidentally end up waking up a vampire. Pretty soon, their town is overrun by bloodsuckers and it's up to a bunch of dreary characters to save the day. Basically, all you need to know about this film is that the acting is terrible, the special effects are laughable and if you've seen more than a few vampire movies, you've seen all that this film has to offer already. Not even the presence of cult scream queen Karen Black can save it! Give it a miss.

Kristine I love vampire movies. I mean I really love vampire movies. But this was pathetic. It was so cheesy and too many plot holes. I'll admit that sometimes it's good for gory fun, and don't want a plot. But this was ridicules. There was a lot of ways to improve this film, but I don't want this to be an essay.2/10

bigtony73 This movie is a typical B movie..but what they do with the "normal" legend of vampires. For one the vampire use water as their coffin instead of an actual one, once under water they spit out their lungs and breaths the water. In one scene this women vamp made her own cocoon to sleep in the special effects are really good in this scene. Its a cheap movie but its fun....its a saturday night kind of flick!!
