  • Ok for everyone bitching about the film. Please stfu. I first saw this film when it came out and I thought it was one of the best movies made. I'm in the middle of reading the books and I think they are amazing. I love both. The movie darren was just like the book darren in my mind. And the cirque was just how I pictured it.

  • The destroyed the whole series for me with this movie. Too much teenager bull, too much forced comedy, not going along with the story, just...terrible.

  • I've read all the books except for one and I love the movie! A lot of things have been changed and I would have preferred for it to be closer to the books but it's still one of my fav movies.

  • Omg cirque du freak is sooo awesome i read all twelve books and i realllyyyy want to read the saga of larten crepsley!!!!

  • best book EVER!!! :D

  • Guys ever check the bonus footage on this movie? They had the script planned out to follow the book closely but then the Jack Off Paul Weitz came into the picture and wanted to change it to be more comical instead of it being so dark and violent so it would attract a "younger crowd" WTF?! He constanty keeps refering to Harry Potter during the interview and seems like he wanted this to be its bastard stepchild . He butchered an amazing story for his last ditch shot at glory

  • Mr Crepsley doesn't look anything like I imagined him :)

  • I can't believe Josh Hutcherson played Steve.

    First Bridge to Terabithia, Cirque Du Freak and now The Hunger Games. He really should just do a film that is not derived from a book. I never did and never would imagine him as Steve or Peeta.

  • @thestarychelx u r kidding arent u. sam and rv were in the vampires assistant, book 2 and the third tunnels of blood had debbie in. The movie was meant to cover all three book, hense murlough but failed with book 2 and 3.

  • fuck reading! iv never read tge book and i think the movies awesome!

  • I got the book today and it was awesome!

  • One of the best books ever turned crappy by "hollywood"!

  • = SHIT

  • Book is awesome i watched the movie too the actors and actresses are HORRIBLE

  • It's a good thing I saw the movie first that way I had nothing to compare to the movies and books are awesome

  • I love the bboks

  • ....s Dobby's twin supposed to be Harkat? And where's his mask?

  • i wanted to see a better wolf-man! and i wanted to see him bite off R.V.'s hands! wtf???

  • FUCK THIS!!!!!!!!! I AM SO DISAPPOINTED WITH THE CASTING FOR MR.CREEPSLY AND MR.TALL

  • wtf a monky, girl she is not in the books

  • @stars3214 I think she's an replacement for Debbie in the books >.> 

  • dam i was so looking forward to seeing RV gett his arms bitten off haha and poor sam that is where darren is ment to start drinking blood man they messed that part up haha and steve was ment to meet darren in the graveyard thats like the best part and they left it out :(

  • what is the song at the end

  • FUUU this sucks D: The books ftw <3

  • I'm up to book 9 , books snap the movie in half

  • good movie but the books are way better

  • This is an awesome movie but things different from the books awesome books ifu. Haven't read them u should and watch the movie two

  • if people read the books 1st u will start to think of all the things that r different or that have been changed, thats the problem with books then a movie based on them. ive seen the movie and its a great film, its different than other vapire movies which makes it a good film.

  • At 1:17 Mr. Crepsley says "Darren, wanna become a vampire?" but that's not how he talks. He always enunciates his words. i think this movie is gonna be awful compared to the book.

  • I see where they went wrong. The movie is American and the book was written by an Irishman so the Americans have once again fucked up something good

  • Ok so as a movie this looks good but as a movie of a book it's probably as crap as eragon was

  • i thought there's gonna be second one, coz i've heard they gonna make 4 movies. but i havent heard anything about it!!! :S someone??? pls! i liked this so much-maybe coz i havent read the books. :) think it was amazing. want moreee :)

  • Books are prob wayyyyyy better even tho I haven't seen it but I'm on book 4 sooooo good and also it's a gory book but this looks kinda kiddish

  • Looks like another film that will ruin a good book:(

  • Am I the only one that loved this movie? Maybe it's because I haven't read the book yet. I'll get to that! :)

  • the ony thing about this film that is the same as the3 book is the flitting, aka the speed only full vampires and vampaneze can run at

  • Funny. The series is written by a british author. You'd think they would have cast people from the UK. Or at least have had them use english accents.

  • I really think this movie ruined all the books for all of those who watched it , but i really hope for a remake of this movie to be made by someone who HAS read all the books and understands what great books these are.

    The movie is based LOOSELY on the books, but the next movie should not have dumb humor and lame actors that makes it look like a disney movie, but something that makes it look somewhat like the books with better actors and animation.

  • kind of lame

  • this movie sux -_-

    the book is SO MUCH BETTER

  • uhm... i think that they summarized the first book and included some parts on the second book.. because in the last part of the book 1... it says that Darren's best friend Steve will become a Vampire Hunter someday and will hunt them down... but ill rate it 5 stars!! the best... its just that they didnt include my favorite parts in the book....

  • they missed out on sam and r.v. :(

  • @deanredfield1 i feel you man

  • This is not at all like the book!!! But i still think this movie sounds great! (: I mean the books are SO AWESOME!!! But i also cant wait to see the movie! But what... Darren PLAYS GAMES in the grave!!!??? No, no, no...

  • I liked the movie! John Reilly is great at dark comedy.

  • FUCK Darren is playing a game while in the grave?!

  • i read this b4 it came out. really want to see this

  • this video is off the hook

  • I didn't see him climb the ceiling in the movie!

  • just saw this film and i thought it was pretty good. i heard from a few people that i should read the book because they are way better.

  • I loved the book series but I really didn't like the movie the first half was okay but the second half wasn't as good, GO READ THE BOOKS!!!!1

  • "Can I, like, turn into a bat and stuff?"

    "No. That's bullshit." LOL Epic.

  • F*** Steve Darren is MINE!!!

  • A New Life Begins....Destroy Everything.....Hatebreed

  • The book is diffrent, but this is two books in one movie.

  • 3 books in one.

  • threre are somet things that they addedd and took away like ti girl that can regenetarte the body parts and the monkey girl and alot of other stuff sams not in the movie i dont think cant wait to see this movie hopefully i will be able to get on the day it comes out

  • The movie was a lot less silly than it appears in the trailer. I actually kinda liked it. Idk about changes as long as it's still GOOD. =D

  • WHEN IS THE NEXT MOVIE GONNA COME?

  • @davepascual octerbor

  • i think its kool. exactly how i mentally veiwed the book!

  • When is it supposed to be released in Australia?

  • I have only seen the trailer, but I can still see a lot of things that have changed, but it still look like a cool movie though

  • Den så bra ut og morsom, den vil jeg se!

  • The movie was going good at the beginning. The spider biting Steve and then Darren becomes a vampire to save him. When Darren went to join the Cirque, everything changes more than the book.

  • Mr tall looks soo different then the book. i love the books but the movie just looks too different lol. but thanks for posting :)

  • OMG...

    I LOVE THE BOOK and have been expecting the movie but .. i think Crepsley doesn't look like this...? I think he should be thinner but this Crepsley really looks like GAY =.=.. Is he a nice guy like this? so friendly? so kind? AND why does Mr. Tall look in this way? it's strange... however i love the story^^ going to watch it :D

  • I read the book and i'm sure they where around 12-13 in it. it was a good film but beacause i read the book i expected it to be a little better they followed the plot but they didn't really stick to the book that well.

  • It would look great if i didn't read the book.I thought they were much younger and really..Darren didn't want to become a vampire,but here it looks he wanted to...and Steve never told him...Look,Darren,I saw him,he's a vampire...

  • Willem Dafoe for the win!

  • The film is better than you think it is

  • Eck, other shitty looking vampire movie. Do yourselves a favor, FUCK Twilight, Fuck True Blood, and Fuck This. Go see Wolfman and witness the TRUE creature of the night.

  • twilight has werewolves too you know

  • cute main actores for darren and steve BUT iEVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO THEIR OWN Opinion, i have read the book and this movie was ok to me i guess, they added sooo much that i think only they got 10% of the book right. =__=;; i just think it would have been better if they just focuse on the first two books on this movie than exploiting it and cutting this AWESOM movie which could have been a million times better :p -end rant-

  • I think they should really pict someone prettier for the role of darren shann

  • better than harry potter

  • messed up and way to kiddy, I feared this would happen. Its okay, its just not even 1% of what it could have been.

  • RUINED RUINED RUINED

  • this looks nothing like the books, wtf? THEY KILLED DARREN SHAN!!!!

  • Did you even read the first book. and if that that's not what you mean than I agree.

  • yer i got all of them :D

  • i dont fucking belive it the books had twilight and harry potter sucking its dick but the film the ffucking film is what happens when you cross fuckin shitty harry potter between shitty fucked up twilight

  • what the hell. im not going to judge this film before i've seen it but from this trailer it looks as if they've completely changed the real stoyline of darren shan. the books were legend. hope the movie doesnt suck...

  • the movie is epic 8D

  • umm, i watched the movie last night. For the people who watched it, was the part of him crawling up the wall even in there, 'cuz i don't think it was in the movie??

  • I think the movie is awsome!! This trailer dosn't make it look that good, but I think its amazing!

  • ive seen this movie i thought it was good ill admit ive never read the books my brother has but its not to bad i just dont like the casting of darren

  • honestly im a huge darren chan fan .. the demonata is the best book series hes written in my opinion .. and it actually does freak me out

    but this is complete crap .. i mean firstly, this movie looks like a complete flop in comparison to the book and secondly they onyl decided to make a movie out of it becasue of this stupidd phase with teenagers and vampires ..

    honestly .. i have lost my respect in darren shan .. for selling his books to something so lame

  • HOLY SHIT!

    I got the manga version of this two days ago!!! and then like five seconds ago I find out in came out TODAY??? I have to see! The manga is effin awesome but the movie looks like shit... oh well might as well try it...

  • luv the song and i think the movie is gonna b gr8

  • mr. crepsley looks fugly in the movie lol

  • My favorite quote:

    "No, that's bull."

    It describes this perfectly, doesn't it?

  • the vampires assistant is the second 1, wtf!

  • damn :l

  • is there just gonna be one movie or 7 or 8 movies don't remember how many books there are and he didn't kiss a girl with a tail and there wasn't that much fights scenes in the beginning.

  • they so ruined this movie.... they put the rist book with the second on that is so stupid...... no one looks as they should this is Bull

  • At first I was bothered by it, but now that theyve said that it is loosely based on the books--ill give it a try.I would prefer it if they had of stuck to the books--i mean theyre amazing.

    The only thing that botheres me STILL is why they changed debbie to white...

    I will be checking it out--although i have to wonder if they will use the ending like the last book--for those who have read you know what I mean--somehow I doubt it though

  • ive read all the books and im just saying it is based off the books...and they did ruin it a bit but all your bitching and complianing isnt going to change a thing so stfu

  • FUCKED EVERYTHING UP!!!

    THE BOOK IS DARK AND BLOODY!!! HARDLY THIS LOW BUDGET- PISS CASTED- INFANTILE BULL SHIT!!!

    I'm so mad that the author let them get away with this shit.

  • ok WTF? i thought it was steve that wanted to b a vamp and that darren never wanted to be a vamp and only came one to save steve???

  • after waiting for years, i think we could probably get a better one..

    but now, this is wrong.

    this mr crepsley is COMPLETELY WRONG!!!!

    and that steve ....horriblehorrible.

  • steve looks wrong, mr crepsley is ruined as hell, des tiny wtf did they do with him ... and why the hell is mr. crepsley so friendly? fuck off they are ruining a great book and turn it into a fucking comedy slap stick movie ... hoped someone would make a movie of this book but i also hoped he would do it right. remake from peter jackson please ...

  • i havent read the books but you guys seem pissed lol

  • I'm sadly dissapointed with the apperiance of des tiny.

  • am i the only one who thinks they butchered the books?

    like its not as scary and some parts are different and not just different but its completely different

    also, anyone know if, if this movie does well will they make the rest of the books?

  • Low~ Budget B.S!!

    They ruined it completely (By the looks)

    XPPP !!

  • I.. Never... Pictured.. Evra.. Like.. That...

  • I agree! He's supposed to look (SOME what ) Sexier then that.. THAT looks like cheap ass make up!!

    D:

  • I thought He was supposed to be cuter xD Like, in the manga, only a little different hair. xD

    It looks like he has face mask on him.. xD

  • I read the books a long while ago and I don't really think any of the characters look how I pictured them. Like Mr. Tall and Mr. Crepsley. And especially Steve. I wonder if they'll make the other books into movies as well

  • same thing. the books were great but i didn't think there would be any comedy into this.

  • They changed it so much. The books are so much better, they've basiclly pushed two books together into the film! Read the books there so much better!!!!

  • we should all see it just so we can go and bitch to universal on how they fucked us over on possibly the greatest movie ever made

  • It's great that they are making a movie out of this incredible series, but the actors are not as I thought they should of been. Darren should have been 11 yrs old, and Mr. Crepsley seemed like he should have long hair and should be thinner. lol and the little people are so different than i imagined.

  • ok thz twimcyangel

  • i swear to gosh if people start to read these books just because they made a movie about it and it has vampires in it (like TWILIGHT!! =DDD!! lol..i h8 twilight...) im gunna kill them. -.- no joke.

  • MY POINT EXACTLY he was well spoken and thought about everything before he said it and articulated it and used a very advanced vocabulary

  • YEA Demonata is good to but come on this movie is a disgrace

  • yeah, im severely disappointed in darren Shan for signing onto this movie.. i dont think im going to pay to see it.

  • See im right all the fucking characters are being played by the wrong actor/actress its bullshit... And it looks kiddish i mean these were a sieris of horror books right... and the commercial i saw on tv WTF since WHEN THE FUCK CAN HALF-VAMPIRES FUCKING FLIT....THEIR GOING TO FUCKING MURDER BOOKS 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 SO MUCH FUCKING MORE THEN THESE 3 ARE.. AND WTF THIS SUCK THIS DISGRACE TO FANS EVREY WHERE IS COMING OUT ON MY B-DAY...THANKS UNIVERSAL FOR THE PEICE OF FUCKING SHIT PRESENT

  • omg i read all the books well not the last but it was goood..all the action and stuff..omg i think they picked great actors for it..i imagined the kid and the vampire they way they r...even though they changed alot wich i was kinda dissapointed im still excited to see it OMG!!!!!!

  • Im Sorry but i seen Darren as a 10- 13 yr old boy wantin to save his friend. Not a 16 yr old,, in the 1st he seemed.. kidish...

  • darren shouldnt have super spit cuz hes half vampire

  • this movie looks pretty fuckin gay lol

  • OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG i seriously recommend that before you watch the movie. you HAVE to read the books. the books will get you soooo excited for the movie. and you will love the movie 100000000000x more. :D GOOD READING

  • didn't read the books cause they arent translated. :S

    but will watch the movie :))

  • This is going to be another series of unfortunate events

    They take a dark book series make it all kiddy, mess it up and never make another one!

  • this is based on the 1st 2nd and 3rd books

  • they ruined cirque du freak

  • F this movie

  • And fuck harkat looks like a fucking chimpmunk! And the spider looks like something out of Alice in fucking wonderland!!! And WTF is with the healing spit?! He's a half vampire for god sakes!!!!!

  • This movie is gonna suck! The books are so much better! God, they are gonna try and make it a comedy. Well, fuck comedy where I'd my gruesome dark cirque du freak stuff?!?!? Man, in five years I'm gonna re do these books into a movie and make them 100's of times better!!! Who's with me?????

  • i would be with you, but i don't believe that you would do it.

  • These pricks have ruined Darren shans work, i hope the screen writer director and producer all get murderd by lord loss.

    The damn book is set in ENGLAND! For that matter it's 3 books not one, and 3 of a big series! I saw Darren Shan talk about this movie, siad he was happy with it, you could see he was lying.

  • You mean you want them to die and spend all of eternity suffering in the lake of souls.

  • MR. crepsley's scar was supposed to be better and more frightening looking according to Darren Shan. they should've at least kept that part of the story =(

  • I cant wait till the movie comes out! I am good friends with someone from the movie. They told me a lot of details about it.

  • Please share those details because hardcore fans want to know if this is worth watching.

  • sounds ok, I really hope they make the demonata series into movies tho :D

  • damn it :[ i love the series but now the movie is going to suck......im still gonna watch it though & whine about it haha

  • is this supposed to be a joke? cause i honestly can't tell.

  • Cool, a vampire movie. 1:27 to 1:35 so great. I want to see this.

  • i agree with kaka765 :/

  • Thanks x3 but it's true! I'm not saying i don't like this series he wrote dont get me wrong but I just think the Demonata would have appealed more to horror fans. And yes, so far i've got through all 3 books of it and dervish will always be my hero and favorite XD

  • holy crap, i think the traler was ruined when he's all "darran, wanna become a vampire?" that was so stupid!

    I will infact go see this movie, but seriously they should have done the movie off the demonata series!! I would have LOVED to see who they choose to act as dervish :DD

  • gahh this is like the second time that im commenting on this vid. But jesus they gave this guy a chance to make one of the greatest vampire movies of all time, and they fucking ruin it!!! I mean really i wanna find the director of this movie and kick his ass!!!! This was our one chance to show the world what "we" have been reading while everyone else has been making a big deal about the twilight series!!!And they turn the book we love into a fucking kids movie!!

  • LOZZ4ME- I know. I am completely appalled by the fact that they choose to appeal to the younger audiences. but they never seem to realize that most of the people who read the cirque series have probably grown and matured. they should make the movie based on the audience they're getting more attention from.

  • continued...Stupid director, stupid screenwriter, stupid company thats going to bring this movie to the big screen and fail vampires forever! this is the only series that would've definitely kicked twlight's ass but they ruined it. now twilight will rule forever because of them! assholes!

  • No, daybreakers trailer, search it

  • This movie is going to suck... I love the books, but this... is going to blow ass.

  • Fuck this movie!! The books were way better! Darren doesn't ask to become one, he's forced to be a vampire to save steve's life! Also, wasnt the guy who could regrow limbs a man, not a woman. The only thing I liked is that he was playing patapon in his grave, which doesn't make sense since he was fully paraylezed in the book! Just read the books, you'll enjoy them more than this crappy movie

  • fantastic movie enjoyed it from start to finish. i found a copy at "bigmovies4free" - hope they make another :P

  • this is just a stupid disney movie

  • oh and t he actors all all Wrong the kid playing steve he looks like a freaking church boy not a person who could do all the things that he does he looks like a pussy

  • THIS IS AN OUTRAGE they producer is messed this up bad its going to suck more then the 5th harry potter they are tweaking the story and giving him healing spit hes a HALF VAMPIRE and in the story he never even gets those powers so there screwing you over darren and they are screwing your fans out of what could be and amazing movie

  • darren should not have super spit he is a half vampire!! and there just makeing fun of the book it looks like

  • books were amazing but i think this movie is going to be to much of a comedy and how are they going to make 12 movies. And i hope that little guy in the robe isn't Harkat that would be weird lol

  • "So, can we, like, turn into bats and stuff?"

    "No, Darren. That's bull."

  • Looks very disappointing

  • thts so sad... i kinda prefer him stealing mdm octa... it makes the show a lil better... but watching it... i realize they might hav just arranged the scenes to make it seem he became a vampire like tht... but mayb he steals mdm octa *hopes*

  • ugh i just cant remember where does that guy thats asks the boy if he wants to be a vimpare come out in? also that dude thta says prepare to die i've heard his voice in an other movie?

  • He doesnt get the flyer like that.... he gets it from his friend that stole it outa his brothers room. and Mr Crepsly looks gayyyy. and he didnt wanna become a vampire...... Stan had bad bloode and Shane saw it. this is all wrong.

  • who are stan and shane its darren and steve unless that is the american copy or something

  • yeh i cant wait for this but seriosly it sounds like they cut out bits of the book like it says 'darren wonna become a vampire' but thats rong steve asks mr crepsley first and darren steal madam octa and it all goes rong

    not like this.

  • yeah. agree

  • i saw it and they did. gathner appeared earlier than before. steve getting bitten by the spider, was at the school wich was total bull. and aswell there was a fite at the end like wtf and aswell as that his perants see him as vampire at the end and murlough dies? wtf bull

  • @vengencepro Yes. But I like the camera turning upside down when Madam Octa was running around.

  • haha yer i imagined madam octa to look a bit more creepy though

  • The movie looks ok but then again you can't expect a movie adapted on a book to live up to the same standards as the book. Are they making movies about the other books aswell.

  • Dude, read the book in high school. Totaly didn't know it was a mainstream series.but yeah it's supposed to take place in Europe. They better not completly ruin it.

  • and if anyone has noticed its in america ?? well what the fuck is up with that darren is british and the books feel british america just aint the place to do it the place has no vibe to it.

  • completely true, how many yanks play football at school in the playground darren is about 12 in the books and this film really dissapoints me

  • i've always imagined mr crepsley with a not so heavy british accent

  • WTFFFFFFF

  • never heard of the book till now and now i want to read it, great quality by the way

  • WTF did they do to this. its nothing like the book and its meant to be a horror yet theyre advertising it like a comedy

  • agreed, it would of been much better if it was a horror, theyve put little jokes in the movie which seemed like it has ruined it.

  • Can't wait to watch it!
