I wouldn’t spend a lifetime of immortality unless the company I'm with is in the caliber of, say Edward Cullen. Well, Josh Hutcherson may do too although he seems too short for those times when you want a tall strong gentleman to sweep you off your feet and drive you into the sunset! In “Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant”, Darren (Chris Massoglia) consents to becoming a vampire to save his best friend Steve (the cuddly Hutcherson) from imminent death (he got bitten by a poisonous spider). This seemed like a horrendous idea - and on film, it translates into being unremarkable.
Once Darren's "remains" were buried, he joins a traveling circus of freaks who's headed by a good "vampire" (John C. Reilly) who takes him under his wings. But things turn complicated when even darker forces (those who feed and kill people) go after Darren - with the help of Steve who becomes a vampire himself! Darren's family becomes pawn - and I suddenly realized I didn't care! Next time, Edward Cullen. Ho hum!
Josh Hutcherson grows up!
