Storyline
Rose Hathaway is a dhampir, half-vampire and half-human, who is training to be a guardian at St Vladimir's Academy along with many others like her. There are good and bad vampires in their world: Moroi, who co-exist peacefully among the humans and only take blood from donors, and also possess the ability to control one of the four elements - water, earth, fire or air; and Strigoi, blood-sucking, evil vampires who drink to kill. Rose and other dhampir guardians are trained to protect Moroi and kill Strigoi throughout their education. Along with her best friend, Princess Vasilisa Dragomir, a Moroi and the last of her line, with whom she has a nigh unbreakable bond, Rose must run away from St Vladimir's, in order to protect Lissa from those who wish to harm the princess and use her for their own means.

I too walked into the movie thinking it was some sort of twilight based
movie. However, I enjoyed the overall film for its outlandish humor and
lead actress. Some parts where a bit shocking but nothing too far from
crossing over a certain line.
I have never read a single book of this series; although the movie does
a wonderful job explain exactly what is going on and who everyone is.
Vampire academy from times gave us teen angst and did over sexual most
of its cast in some scenes. So if they are planning a sequel please
don't shove sex right in our faces. It thought it was a movie that had
potential to be a bit darker than just being only surrounded by high
school problems. But the whimsically teen side didn't keep this movie
from the mild gore. I would rate this movie an 7/10. Would I watch if
there was a sequel? The answer is yes because this first movie attempt
wasn't as big of a letdown as I had anticipated. The next movies if any
have the possibility to break away from the usual "Teen Drama" and not
hold back on the blood and guts.
If this franchise doesn't want to be compared to twilight I suggest you
not make it the usual storyline. Girl and two guys, the two guys want
her, she is mortal and they are supernatural, not blood all glitter. So
overall this movie had wit, spunky humor, mild gore, provocative
scenes, high school drama, and fangs. An overall good recipe so far for
the freshman vampire movie, word to the wise for the sequels if any,
just step it up and leave us wanting more.
