i saw this recently on a faded old vhs tape and and remember it dimly . look at it now and it seem charm . when it be first release and it be recognize by pretty much everyone a a spoof of come out a a gay teenager . to hammer the point home and the mother be see read a paperback copy of 1 teenager in 10 and the most popular come out book of the time . david warner ham it up a the persecuting vampire hunter [ equal gay hat evangelist ] and who be of course a self loathe closet case . the list of sight gag and in joke that be include to make sure nobody miss the point would be too long to go into . the producer be have some good natured fun and and hop and no doubt and to lighten up as well a to enlighten . but i have no clue how a teenage audience would look at this film and nowadays . in some place and where there be education and culture and the terrifying ordeal that gay teen have to go through be a thing of the past . but i be sure there be plenty of dark and nasty corner of our continent where it just as bad a it always be .
