  • i´m studying 2 become a movie director, and i just hope i could make 12 serious movies on the series sometime

  • I read the book

  • I despised this movie. They need to remake and make it faithful to the books the way the Harry Potter movies were. I don't even know why the writers made the changes. Because of that the movie was critically panned and bombed at the box office. So we can rest assured that there won't be a shitty sequal to blacken the name of Darren Shan.

  • this was my fav ,movie of all time they really need a 2nd movie 2 it.( hated the sad ending) grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

  • the movie was awsome the books 2 but i didnt really like the 4th (vampire mountin

  • This looks bad, mkey?

  • Movies and novels are different media they can't be exactly the same. I like the comedy in this. If I was immortal I would be sarcastic and cynical as fuck, also.

  • Books and movies are different media, there are somethings movies can't do for example the writer can let his imagination run wild, in a movie the director, producers, writers have to be in unison. Personally I want the movie.

  • Doesnt match the book what so ever wtf happened to him getting bit by the spider?!?!!?

  • OMG why did i watch the trailer i did got the whole darren shan world in my head and it was PERFECT this shit did just screw it up...

  • Twilight will top all . Actually , it already has

  • @mrsch01minh0 it's meant to be the first 3 books

  • I love this film and the books

  • and then it ends in a clif hannger

  • josh hutcherson....................­..<33

  • That's not like the book :(((((

  • wow..... this movie is NOTHING like the books whatsoever

  • I've read the books and saw the movie and personally I thought the movie turned out okay. I don't understand why others think it sucks

  • This is has next to nothing to do with the book

  • WHY!!!!! Arrg! i loved those books.Some of the stuff in the movie is sooooo ridicules.

  • The trailer is Good, the movie is the biggest shit and the books are awesome

  • THEY RUINED CREPSLEY! HE'S ALL UGLY! F**K THEM!

  • They messed that movie up so bad...... It's good but nuthin like the book!

  • This isn't even based off the Cirque Du Freak books at all! In fact, this is just another pointless vampire movie that they tried to cash in because twilight just came out -____-

  • @demolitionXloveX94 i havent seen the film but if you would evan compare it to frickin twilight it must be shit

  • I just finished all the books and nothing is like this

  • this is book 1 and 2

  • omg Peeta Mellark!!!! 

  • This is the most retarded book movie ever (NOTHING LIKE THE BOOKS/MANGA)

  • i read all the books this is nothing like the books

  • If you read the books, no, this movie wasn't very fulfilling. It's nothing like the books.

    But, on it's own, I'm just going to admit, I liked it. I mean, at least the series got publicity. I think people should give it more credit. -_-

  • I'm only on book 8 and the movie doesn't follow ANYTHING that was in the books

  • This is not how the books went ? :O

  • Dear maker of this movie, Re-make the movie

    Sincerely thousands of disappointed fans.

  • the director who made this movie should die of shame, this movie is not even close to how the books are and it's EXTREMELY STUPID. there isnt even a monkey girl in the book. and im pretty sure darren shan didnt want to be a vampire. plus tht old guy john c. reilley is not the guy to play crepsley

  • I though creepsls would look coool and mean and hip but hes nice and old

  • hmmm... i wanna watch it but it's waaaay different than the novel and the japanese manga.

  • This, this "thing" is a sad excuse for a movie. I adore the books but the movie. I mean mr crepsley doesn't just say " hey kid wanna be a vampire". But there is a condition. You have to feel me

  • OMG Mr.Crepsley looks sooo weird

  • Great movie and the books are even better

  • holy crap im in the middle of the seccond book of this and now they tell me it's also a movies ¬.¬

  • The movie looks ok but iread the series. And i just hate when we read the books but they change the movie inot different parts.

  • Stupid movie, they didn't follow ANYTHING from the book! Nothing! I don't even want to see it because they got everything wrong. This is my favorite book series of all time and I am sad to see how badly they messed up the movie.

  • More than half of what happened in that trailer DID NOT happen in the movie. The biggest one being that in the book, when Darren was in the coffin, he couldn't move. But in this tragic excuse for a movie... HE WAS PLAYING WITH A FUCKING IPOD!!!!

  • I'm sorry but the books are so much better. The movie.could have been better. Mr.Crepsley is much better in the book and so was Darren. I loved the.books better.

  • I loved the books but it sounds like what happened to the Percy Jackson movie.

  • whut, Darren just playing the game while there is funeral and nobody didnt hear the beeps/noises of the frickin' game? im surprised.

  • fuck this movie read the manga man its way better just can't w8 for the anime to be made

  • I was so excited to see the movie when it came out. but in stead of loving every minute of it I sat there and nit picked every little thing. I didn't need to nit pick. It was mostly picking out the obvious. T-T I'm just happy I got to see more then just a metal pic in my head.

  • HAVE YOU EVER READ THE BOOKS?! This movie is so fucked up!

  • The movie was absolutely nothing like the book!! It was still a good movie but there were SOOOO many ways they could have made it better

    Ps- is cormac limbs a girls or a boy in the books because it was a girl in the movie and I think it was a guy in the books

  • @purpleizzyfizz it was a guy in the book but a girl in the movie u are right no worries

  • The movie is so off

    There is no monkey girl

    Crepsley is way hotter in the graphic novel and the book

    And darren dosent fight steve until steve is like 30!

    This movie could have been sooooo good but it sucked

  • lol i read the whole seriese a while ago (sorry i cant spell :P) and this looks awesome!

  • i only managed halfway through the movie :P

  • darren..is sexy. :D

  • at least its better than twilight

  • they mixed the first and second on together with some parts in other books like steve wa not supose to be a vampaneze yet that was in the 8th book but the move is still good i watched it last night

  • Wow! The books must be amazing! I've only watched the movie and I love it! Another is coming out right? Does anyone know if it is and if so when? Because if it's soon I'll just watch the next movie then read the books(I don't want to hate the next movie lol).

  • @BlackAndWhiteBeauty6 Dude, the movie was nothing like the books. The books were so much better. There won't be a sequal (thank God) because the movie was critically panned and bombed at the box office (budget was $40 million but only grossed $39 million) If you wan't to anything else feel free to ask me.

  • @BlackAndWhiteBeauty6 *know anything else

  • I liked this movie but I love the books

  • Wowwwwwwwwwww. nothing like the book its really messed up.

  • This is such a disgrace. Larten was my favorite in the books and they totally screwed him up. This movie is terrible now where near as good as the books. It just makes me so mad ahhhhhh.

  • @shnipey yeah true! i cried so much when he died in the book!! </3

  • @shnipey They shoulda gotten Liam Neeson to play him.

  • The only characters that were well portrayed were Steve and Gavner, but this Mr. Tiny sucks, nowhere close to the original. And the story? What the hell?! They completely screwed it up. Such a disgrace to a legendary saga.

  • I can't begin to express my disappointment in this movie and the crushingly terrible, horrible casting, especially Larten. ESPECIALLY Larten. That man is like the exact opposite of the character....I can't even fathom why they chose to do the movie like this. I REALLY hope they just redo the whole thing, or recast it for the next one.

  • Ok, so I am about to start Book 10 of Cirque du Freak, and I googled 'Cirque du Freak'. This cames up... WHAT THE HECK? Is Debbie some sort of demon now? I must have missed something... goodness, this just crushed my dreams. And isn't the first book called "A Living Nightmare". Oh gosh, another flaw. Like this comment if you agree.

  • 2:11- Debbie, the Saiyan

  • 1:37 immediately thought edward?

  • hey anyone who has read the acual books would you please chat with me about it. I just read book 12 and it was amazing, nobody at my house as read the series yet.

  • @TheStylishbrat

    I can chat.

  • i just finished reading the second book and i wanna read the other 10 but i dont got the money to buy 10 other books considering im only 14 :\ does anyone know a website where i can read the other 10 for free???

  • @GamerToTheEnd100 go to swaptree it is a great movie, cd , video game trade site...all you pay is shipping...Check it out!!! My teenager loves it!!

  • @GamerToTheEnd100 I was in a similar situation. I went to a library. They let you read books for free there.

  • The book series is amazing

  • I love the books I want to see it really bad now!!!

  • Just watching this makes me know it doesn't match the book... ;/

  • I agree to almost all of the commentarys especialy that Darren is way to old in the movie and also that the manga verison is kinda good, but it´s such a shame to make a this good book a so bad film!!!

  • And i Swear Darren was not a teenager in d beginning...dey just messed it up...

  • When i read about Mr crepsley...i swear i always imagined him skinnier dan dis...

  • maybe they could reclaim its popularity maybe just maybe if a cirque du freak anime i done thumbs up if you agree

  • @aj0w3n thats a nice idea........12 books is enough material to last a while O_o

  • Books were amazing

  • 8C This movie disappointed me and crushed my dreams....

  • Franchement, je pensais que le film serait...meilleur. Je suis ATROCEMENT déçue! Le livre est cent fois mieux! Même la version manga! On veut détruire tout les meilleurs livres ou quoi D: ! Si jamais ils osent s'attaquer à "Midnighters", je les attaque en justice è_é

  • WHAT THE FUCK THIS IS SO BAD I MEAN MR TALL AN AISAN? THIS MOIVE DOES NOT MAKE SENSE AT ALL.

  • THE VOICE OF THE GIRL

    WHO IS THAT SINGS IN THIS TRAILER?

    Is it BECKY JEANS?

  • It's a shame the movie wasn't as good as the books. They probably won't make a second one now :(

  • i love this movie!!<3 its amazing! im jst strting 2 read the books, crepsley is pretty cool:)

  • when they make a movie of a book like darren shan these kind of changes always happen. its natural but still its a bit too shit

  • Not like the books but its still funny!!! :)

  • I agree with all the talk about this being a bad movie and the books are better, good point, but are they at least gonna make the rest of the films??

  • is it me or is that monkey girl hot as fuck! OMG!!!!!!!!!!

  • How can people hate the movie it is the best movie I have ever seen and that is not a lie lol is it just me or does the person who plays larten crepsley look cute and I'm a teen lol ;)

  • This looks retarded... the books are great, but this movie.. the trailer makes me want to cry cause it looks. so. bad. oh my god.

  • this movie is horrible...why is mr. tall asain? why is evra the snake BOY so old? wtf is up with the monkey girl? the guy that plays darren looks like a retard. HARKAT IS A BEAST though. books = perfect 10..movie = -999999999999999999

  • thot it was gonna be awsome... its... ok.

  • Ok if any of you have read the books, you know this movie sucks! No one acts like the characters (I mean, Crepsley is supposed to be stern, firm and rough, not sarcastic to the point of idiocy!) and plus, where the he'll did the monkey girl come from?! The only part I enjoyed was Harkat, because they made him so cute. But yeah, read the books, and toss the movie in the trash.

    No, throw it in a volcano.

  • i saw the movie and thot it was good but then i read the books and saw the movie again and it was crap if ur watching this but hvant seen the movie dont waist ur money on seeing the whole thing. read the books instead!!!!!!!!! I <3 Darren shan!!!!

  • This movie made me sad. I waited for soooo long for the movie and it made me cry cause it was so bad. The books are AMAZING. The best books i have ever read. And the movie..nothing like the books..and nothing like i imagined it..

  • THE BOOK WAS WAYYYY BETTER!

  • this is ok movie..watched the full movie in webmovietube for free

  • anybody else feel like shooting the directors in the shin for making the movie crap?

  • Saw the mvoie, it was disappointing and it sucked. I like the books better {*sigh* I hate how directors change up everything when they make a book into a movie. DID the auther notice the dramatic changes?} I don't even remeber a monkey girl!? where the hell did she come from?

  • what a movie..pls watch this in webmovietube

  • Lol can't imagine that Darren dying off like in book 12

  • The guy in the car was Mr.Tiny cuz his license plate says Des Tiny (destiny) in the movie.

  • They should have put debbie, vancha, evanna, Alice and a vampaneze in it too

  • Book 9 is really sad cuz mr crepsley dies :( I saw the movie and it was good and now I'm reading book 10

  • @Teal98765 OH FUCK YOU! Thank's for spoiling, asshole

  • cool im still reading the books

  • I love this movie, and I know in the preview he says he wants to become a vampire and yada yada yada. But in the actual movie they follow the story line :)

  • Uggg.... Nothing like the books from what i can tell. He dusnt choose to becum a vampire, he has to!!!! To save steve from dying!! It dusnt even look like madam octa is in this!!!

  • omg lol i remember seeing the trailer a long time ago but i recently read the book and just realized this was the movie for the book lol

  • OK SOO... i read every single one of the cirque du freak books when i was a kid, and there has never been a book series that i have enjoyed more. HOWEVER, i never even SAW the movie, and i can tell from this preview that it was shitty and too immature. If they made this film into something like harry potter (not saying im a harry potter fan), serious and extremely exciting, it would have been so much better. again i can tell simply from this preview and reviews the movie sucked.

  • Am I the only one who actually loves the books AND the movie?

  • @EbbaIsabel Nope :B

  • is this movie number two i have seen circue du freak but is this number two

  • Ok first off, he doesn't say "Darren, wanna become a vampire?" Steve gets bitten by Madam Octa and Mr. Crepsley will only save steve if darren becomes his assistant. Did they READ the books? I hope the next movie is better..

  • Well I haven't read the book and I know books are always the better ones...but I liked it

  • love the books

    

  • I read the book and this looks like it sucks, the same will probably happen with the hunger games. :(

  • umm....... was that supposed to be mr tall at the beginning?

  • They should've put Debbie in it

  • wheres will ferril?

  • Great movie at first but after I read the series then did i realize how crappy it was compared to the book..I definitely recommend the book over the movie:)

  • i have found a website webmovietube to watch movies for free..njoy

  • cool movie..check this at webmovietube

  • The movie was ok. But the books were the best ever!!!!!! I hope the redo the movie and follow the books.

  • Is that the little dipper or Big Dipper?

    *Breaks Neck*

    Lol, this movie was so awesome.

  • Greatest book series ever

  • I was hoping this to be a anime but ohhwell.

  • why is it called vampire asistant that was the 2nd book there was never a monky girl darren, steve and evra were in like elementery school not high schoolers darren got the flyer from his friend or when going home from steves house depending on if your getting it from the comic or the book not a guy driving past him in a car the person that can grow there limbs back after cutting them off was a guy and more i might be mixing the book and comic together sence i read both though

  • @anime2freak12 I totally agree with you. The movie was a horrible outline of the book. Im guessing the called the movie: The Vampires Assistant - because it would attract their target market more, especially with the earlier movie twilight. It's a more relative name.

  • i thought vampaneze were purple skinned with red hair,eyes, and nails..... and since when can Darren flit?!?!?!

  • @codey1337 That's what happens in the movie as well it just doesn't look like it from the trailer. Just go out and buy or rent the movie and watch it and you'll see.

  • they removed one character and replaced her with another

  • @SonicsTheMan YEP and morphed her from Debbie and Sam

  • I like the books and all but this movie looks like it sucks I mean it's all wrong characters, plot it's just wrong the books deserve more credit than tht...

  • no way it looks fucked up its almost like what they did to percy jackson the lightning theif it even sounds like the same people and its all wrong i hate it when the skrew with films by changing everything

  • another gay thing about this movie is that the was nobody trying to kill darren in the first book

  • I laughed so hard when he falls off the roof Evra grabs his own nipples 2:14

  • Has nothing on the books.

  • @smilie120 well look at the bright side now we dont have to suffer the same cruel way Harry Potter has gone

  • most of this stuff is wrong. the

    book was way different but oh well.....

  • This is the best movie ever!! Please make a second one =)

  • character describe in da book is better...

    the freak is not freak at all... -.-"

    duh..

    novel is better...

  • i really hope they make another movie cause i read all the books and they were great

  • Tough I have seen worse movies tough I'm just mad that they messed up my favorite books! But overall the movie isn't so bad...

  • I can honestly say that this movie sucked! It was nothin like the books. I wish they'd do a better version. With an actual Debbie and that they follow the order of events correctly. I mean Steve doesn't come up again until book 8!

  • they should make a movie of the demonata series

  • MY GOD THEY SCREWED UP! That looks nothing like the books.

  • this film proves why no american was involved in the harry potter films...... it's an utter abomination, a bastard child to the books that does not deserve to share a similar title let alone plot. i am glad i could still enjoy the books properly whilst i was still a child

  • @PumpkinKyuubi what has americans got to do with this film?

  • This movie is pure crap. First off. It was steven who went on the stage alone when everyone left because he wanted to become a vampire. Then steve got bit by maddam octa because darren stole her. Then steve is paralyzed, so darren had to become a half-human half-vampire to save steve because the vampire ahd the antidote. Darren then faked his death so he can live with the undead. So pretty much i never saw this movie. I just finished the 1st book 2 hours ago *i thought it was amazing*.

  • Loved the movie

  • Just by seeing this trailer, I know it's gonna be a bad adaptation. But for some reason, I'm still curious...

  • this movie is a great one, just perfect beatiful colors and much of good humor and a great storyline i have read 4 books of the 13 or something and the movie is good also, so to everyone that hates the movie, and with there stupid complines GO FUCK YOURSELFS IT IS A GREAT MOVIE and the only thing that sucks on the movie ARE PEOPLE WITH BAD comments, so 1 thing for al of you bad comment guy's don't look to the new movies AND GO FUCK YOURSELFS LOUZERS

  • @MRJokieJoker where can i dl it ?

  • Comment removed

  • @MRJokieJoker No offense, but i think that you're the only one who would say that this movie is a 'great one'

    no kidding, even the poster looked bad. and you can find 'Reception for the film has been mixed. It currently holds a 37% Rotten score on Rotten Tomatoes' words if you surf it at wikipedia.you should feel ashame of saying that. you can't blame these people, they ave the right to judge if the film is good or not, and the result there are more negatives than the positives,i feel sorry 4 u.

  • I am so pissed. If anyone has finished te whole series, like I did they should be pissed too. The books are amazing, and they made it into a Childs movie. The series should have been at least pg-13 , and the cast was a joke.

  • i like the book better and i have only seen the trailler for the movie and up to page 135...

  • totally ruined the book...loved the manga adaptation though

  • this is to freaking confusing.
