Cirque du Freak The Vampire's Assistant - Official Trailer

Darren Shan is a regular teenage kid. He and his friend Steve find out about a Freak Show coming to town an work hard at trying to find tickets. They do, and together they go to "Cirque du Freak" where they see many strange acts including a werewolf and a bearded lady. Steve and Darren think that it is all a joke until a vampire, Larten Crepsley comes on with a very poisonous spider that he makes do tricks. When Steve sees this man he freaks out a bit but won't tell Darren why. After the show, Steve tells Darren to go home, and that he will follow later. Darren says yes but instead sneaks upstairs to see what Steve is up to. He sees Steve talking to Mr. Crepsley and overhears their conversation. Steve tells Mr. Crepsley that he knows that his real name is Vur Horston an is a Vampire and he tells Larten that he would like to join him and become an apprentice. Mr Crepsley says he must test Steve before he agrees, and when he does he reveals that Steve has "bad blood" and he will not transform him. Steve becomes angry but Darren leaves the theatre and doesn't see what happen next. Darren goes home and thinks about what Steve did but also cannot stop thinking about Mr. Crepsley's Spider. The next day he steals the spider with the hopes that he will be able to make it perform tricks too. Meanwhile, Steve is acting as if nothing happened. Darren manages to train the spider by using a flute to hypnotize it (what Larten did). Darren invites Steve over to show him the spider, but when Darren is making it perform tricks on Steve, Darren's sister comes in and breaks the noise, and thus causes the spider to bite Steve. Steve becomes very ill, and is rushed to the hospital where the doctors say that there is nothing they can do. Darren decides to see Mr. Crepsley about the possibility of an antidote. The vampire agrees to give him the only cure if Darren agrees to become his assistant, and half vampire. He does. Steve gets better but starts to realize that Darren is now part vampire and becomes angry, jealous and betrayed. Larten stages Darren's death and Darren is burried. Mr. Crepsley comes to dig up Darren and leave. He does and gives Darren a moment to say goodbye to his hometown. Then Steve shows up and tells Darren about all he knows. He says that Darren and Mr. Crepsley were planning the betrayal all along and that Steve doesn't really have bad blood, which Darren knows is not true. He tries to explain about the spider, but Steve cuts a small cross into the flesh of his left palm and swears on his blood that he will kill Darren and his mentor Mr. Crepsley. Darren shakes off the warning and leaves with Mr. Crepsley. It is rumored that the film will be based on the first three books, if this is true then we will see Darren's reluctance to accept his life as a vampire and meet the character Sam, on top on this he will have his first run in with the vampenezee a race of creatures who kill to eat unlike the vampires

At least this vampire doesn't spend his time moping around after Kristen Stewart.

This movie was the worst movie I've ever seen and it was still better then Twilight

[JessWuvs2laf]

And I HATE when Steve called him "Creepy Crepsley" -_____-

[JessWuvs2laf]

I had a TOTALLY different look on it. I imagined Darren as a shorter, younger boy with dark brown hair. Crepsley also had redish hair, not a brown afro. The movie looks disappointing but I am looking forward to seeing what Desmond Tiny looks like (or if they "changed" him) and Lady Evanna [SPOILER, SORRY GUYS] (if you don't know who that is, don't worry she'll be in the later books) Although, they keep calling her ugly, I think of her as beautiful :P & I love her name.

@alorahD13 Because it's a lot like the Twilight Saga. If you read all 12 books from cover to cover like I did, you would know why these people compare it to Twilight. The book was highly better than the Twilight books. (I could barely get past the first book, let alone 4 of them) This book had a lot more excitement to it and left me on the edge of my seat. You should read the book

[TheRobbdan]

Movie isn't like the books, but it is still good

[macey101catlover]

WAHHHHHH!!! its sooo different from the books!!! Dx WHY? WHY WOULD YOU BUTCHER THE STORY LIKE THAT?! It was a simple CHAPTER book! not an effing Harry Potter book! v.v

[folgoredore]

@wolfdude88foster wait pretty good movie and a better book.

[JannzkyStudio]

The movie isn't bad in itself. but it wasn't like the books AT ALL! Murlough lacked purple-ness in his skin o3o I liked the idea of a purple-ish vamp...

[TheRUiClan]
