Sex and nudity in Vampires Suck
Sexual content is frequent but presented in a crude, satirical manner. In one scene, a character attempts to seduce another by stripping down to her bra and panties, which have flashing lights. There is comedic, non-sexual nudity, including a character's bare buttocks being shown. Dialogue is laden with innuendo and crude remarks, such as a father's crass comment about his teenage daughter's breasts. Other gags include a character with a comically large bulge in his pants.
Violence and gore in Vampires Suck
Violence is moderate and consistently played for slapstick comedy, though some scenes are briefly gory. Characters are comically decapitated with props like a baseball bat, with some blood shown at the neck stump. In another scene, a vampire's limbs and head are torn off during a fight, revealing bloody stumps. Other scenes include characters being punched, a person being pushed in front of a van, and vampires biting necks with sprays of blood, all framed as jokes rather than serious assaults.
Language in Vampires Suck
Language is moderate for a PG-13 film. The dialogue includes at least one use of the f-word in some versions, as well as terms like "asswipe," "crap," and "bitch." There is frequent use of crude anatomical and scatological terms. Name-calling includes insults like "virgin" and "loser."
Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in Vampires Suck
Substance use is depicted in a mild and comedic fashion. There is a running joke where a character's father leaves a note stating, 'The weed is in the top drawer.' Teen characters are shown drinking at a party, and one character speaks positively about 'binge drinking.' Vampires are also shown drinking blood from bottles as an alcohol substitute.
Mature themes in Vampires Suck
Thematic content is light, primarily revolving around satirizing teen romance tropes like love triangles and melodramatic breakups. A significant but comically handled theme involves a character, Edward, deciding to end his own life after mistakenly believing Becca has died. The film treats this potentially serious topic with absurdity, having him plot to expose himself at a festival to be killed by a vampire coven.
