Show Summary

Premiered: Sep 15, 2001
Status: Ended

The world of Vampire High explores two sets of students grappling with the horror story known as adolescence. The series is set at Mansbridge Manor, an isolated boarding school that is the last-stop haven for privileged teenagers of the wealthy and influential. That's the Day School...but it's the Night School that is the real focus of the show - a Night School that secretly houses a daring experiment to civilize vampire teenagers. By nature, they are passionate and predatory but now, they've been sent to school by their Elders, and they're plenty annoyed about being guinea pigs. Fortunately for both sets of teens, they are being guided by Dr. Reginald Murdoch, a renowned if eccentric educational specialist. Murdoch is a true Renaissance Man on a steadfast mission -- guiding his charges into becoming real citizens of the world. ''''''''THEME:''''The voiceover during the theme is as follows:''''"When The Great Eclipse plunged the world into darkness, the vampire race erupted in a civil war.

"Good"

By AJsok2003, Mar 26, 2008 Report Abuse

vampires learing to become human was a very cool idea. i really love that young vampires agreed to want to learn to try to like to act like. drew was a small bit of boring but i got used to him. thought that he was a very kind and loving vampire. he was so sweet to sherri. she was one rude rich kid but in a way she was ok. merril was a very sweet little kid, and marty what a wild child i did see a small soft spot in him but in other ways he was the only bad vampire. this was an ok show.moreless

"Great"

By alyssa01, Mar 10, 2008 Report Abuse

I think that this show is great mainly becouse it is so much different than anything else I watch. My favorite character is without a doubt Marty. He adds the complexity that was lacking in the pilot. The reason for this is that all the characters, while being different from each other hold a certain rigidness that keeps them confined to the character moulds formed for them from the begining, not allowing them to build or develop in the show.The character of Marty on the other hand cannot be predicted, his reaction to varying situations is ever changing but not in a way that lessens the character by overcomplicating him, but in a way that allows for a glimpse into a more complex person. This gives added value to an already wellwritten and impressive peice television art.moreless

A really smart concept brought down by sub-par acting and mediocre writing that gives you the impress that a teenager was trying to impress a few good friends with his knowledge of vampire myths.moreless

"Mediocre"

By Firetears, Oct 20, 2007 Report Abuse

Okay, I didn't finish the show yet but I watched enough to make a full judgment. Every episode feels sort of like a drag but it still has enough substance to tune me in for the next episode... sometimes. The worst thing about the show is the quality. The actors and actresses are all decent, but no one amazes me. I guess that's a small price to pay because no one disappoints me either. Don't get me wrong, they can act and they do their scenes justice, but I can't seem to remember that ONE scene that won't leave my memory.

Another bad quality of the show is that every episode is a bottle episode. There are only 5 sets. Sherry and Mimi's bedroom, the common room, the library, Doc's office, and the vampire's underground liar. The character NEVER leave those sets. EVER! Even when they are sick and under care of doctors, the doctors go to the school. It's kind of pathetic that the budget for the show is so low they can't afford a single outside shot. The characters are at least all likable, except for Drew, who I found annoying. It wasn't his fault but the writer's. His character was all over the place and they didn't know where they wanted to go with him. In one episode he's the sensitive puppy-love struck vampire and the next episode he's dark, sarcastic, and nonchalant about everyone except Sherry. His character doesn't stay steady long enough for me to like him, honestly. But the worst thing about the show is that the plot is going NOWHERE. It comes off as more of a educational show for the myth of vampires than an actual drama. There are instances where the plot does make a movement, but sometimes it's for the worst(episode 20). And next to that, the writing is the weakest I have seen in a long time. It feels like the writers can't even keep a decent story to go on for half an hour so they fill us up with junk to run the time low. And while the show does have it's winning moments, it doesn't have the absolute brilliant writing that keeps us coming back for more.

I guess the only thing kept watching the show for this long was my desire to see where the plot was going(if it was going anywhere at all). Half decent show if you're into forbidden love stories with below average writing.moreless

"Great"

By ClamsCasino, Sep 07, 2007 Report Abuse

Here's the deal. If you wanted Vamps and gore you know where you're gonna go. It's not network tv under any circumstances. Kinda in the tradition of Roswell, it's really good to see somthing like this come out. Just seeing it for the first time and really enjoyinig it. Its fun to see another take on the whole sub-culture and of course the teen aspect makes it just a guilty pleasure. I was hoping to find more but have since found that it ran 1 season. Within the genre of Sci Fi / Horror it aquits itself very well. NBot a classic by any stretch but well worth a watch.moreless

"Fair"

By da_dunker, Sep 04, 2007 Report Abuse

Vampire High was and is one the the most stylish ant intense programmes that I have ever seen. Not only is it well written and well directed but the general tone and setting is perfect.

The way it delve's into the characters and finds out more an more about them is indeed an exciting prospect. Never before has a show to my knowledge looked so deep into a character to study them. The plot of the show is the characters themselves, they are the plot and their general mannerisms.

This show is so much more then a vampire TV show but a show that has a balance and the line between the characters and how they can cope with trying to be human.moreless
