Whilst I don't advocate piracy, Vampires Suck has been leaked and there is a HD version online (if you REALLY wanted to find it, i'm sure you could), and its every bit as bad as you might expect from Friedberg and Selzter. It basically retreads the first two Twilight movies, and has pop culture references (admittedly nowhere near as many as 'normal' but still making no sense or anything like funny!). The problem for this movie (forgetting for a minute Friedberg and Seltzer) is that there have been Youtube parodies for over a year, and most are funny in a way Vampires Suck simply isn't. I mean, from what I can gather, the third movie in the series (Eclipse) already takes the piss out of itself about Jacob taking his shirt off all the time..... how in the hell can Vampires Suck parody a movie that parodies itself already?!?!? Its mercifully short but feels longer, and if you've had the misfortune of watching the first two Twilight movies and disliked them, well you get to watch them again but with Friedberg and Seltzers 'laughs' inserted. Its just not funny, and sadly will probably do better business than Disaster Movie did simply because the curious Twihards will goto see it thinking it to be a clever riff on their favourite movies (its not!), and those that hate the Twilight series will go see it because they'll think they are in for a good ride (its not, and they get to watch the two movies they hate again with no laughs!). Mel Brooks apologised for essentially inventing the Spoof genre, and it was because of Friedberg and Selzter that he apologised. The full movie is out there, piracy is a crime etc, but this movie relieving money from peoples pockets is slightly more shameful in my mind.
