I absolutely adore this show! I ordered this DVD blind because I'd heard of the show before and was very interested in it. Amazon is the only place that sells it and it's dirt cheap so I figured, why not? I am so glad I did. The plot is nothing that special, but I really enjoyed some of the mythology they made up for the show and other well known ideas that they also incorporated into it. I'm also a sucker for Romeo and Juliet type romances that involve vampires, so it's kind of natural that this show would be right up my alley. Although it was obviously made for an early to mid teen audience, I'm in my early 20s and still liked it. The DVD presentation is nothing special, just the first four episodes edited into a 90 minute movie. Six more episodes are scheduled for release in May on two seperate discs.

I thoroughly enjoyed this series on TV and would very much like to own it all on DVD (unfortunately this disk is all that's available at the moment).

The basic premise is appealing: a small group of young vampires are given sanctuary at an exclusive boarding school to both protect them from the war between the two opposing vampire 'clans', the Fury and the Elders, and to 'humanise' them in preparation for living safely amongst humans. The series explores how the vampires and the school's principal (who is an unusual man himself) try to accomplish this. At the same time a larger group of young human students, all with problems of their own, lives and learns in the above-ground part of the school, and are unaware of the vampires living below them - until one of the vampires falls in love with one of the humans. And to complicate matters further, one of his fellow vampires is in love with him...

The series has its flaws - there are a number of inconsistencies and some considerable plot-holes, and the acting is occasionally uneven - but on the whole it's a wonderful watch, oddly gentle, perceptive and thought-provoking. This DVD contains the first four (of 26) episodes excellently combined into a full-length film, without losing any of the details of the series. I really hope the rest are also released on DVD.

This is an excellent show and dvd that deserves atention. Even thou it's mostly vampires there are rich storylines and complexities that make this a cant miss show period... plot:After a civil war between vampire clans (the Fury who wants humans as food and the Elders who want peace with humens) a small group of young vampires are given sanctuary at an exclusive boarding school to 'humanise' them in preparation for living amongst humans. Each vampire teen has there own storylines ad past that continues episode after episode but with new live in each. The series follows how the vampires try to accomplish this. At the same time a larger group of young human students, all with problems of their own, lives and learns in the above-ground part of the school, and are unaware of the vampires living below them. But without a doubt they cross paths. Drew who is one of the vampiers falls for a human girl sherry and this relationship is explored. There are severial storylnes going at the same time and there is never a dull moment. Every emotion and problem the vampire have the humans have proven they aint much different. As you watch this it brings you into the show and you get to know these charactors. This is a very good show and dvd. It ran for one season in canada 2001-2002 and lives in reruns in canada and UK

This DVD contains the first four (of 26) episodes excellently combined into a full-length film, without losing any of the details of the series. There are two more dvds of the show on amazon and i suggest you buy all three. they contain episodes 1-10 but there are 26 episodes all together. and chek out my review on them too. I really hope the rest are also released on DVD.

With the dribble we get on TV on both sides of the pond this show is a gem amongst the tripe. It is always the best ones that get axed. After one season of Vampire High three DVD's with the first 10 episodes on. DVD 1- First four episodes edited into a movie format, DVD 2- Three mpre eps and the same for DVD 3.

This show has style, charm and above all good acting, a rare treat on the box today. The show runs smoothly from beginning to end, usually having an episode about one particular subject that is resolved by the end but also the longer running storylines of romance, deception and evil.

Vampire High was indeed a ground breaking show, not only for the style which shone but for the character break down and involvment with the audience.

5 outta 5!

This was a well produced yawn. The budget's all there, but the plot is really dull - a group of teen vampires is sent to an exclusive school so that they can learn how to 'blend-in' with human society - to stop feeding frenzies so that they don't get caught - so because of this there's very little vampire action - aside from a couple of times they face off against each other baring their fangs.

If you're after a film about vampires being vampires - this is not it. If you're after a film about teens being teens - then maybe this is for you - teens who just happen to have fangs.

If I had only known it was a badly spliced together TV show. What's worse? I before I got it in the mail I found ALL the TV shows posted on YouTUBE. Save your money.

this movie horrible!!! its abruptly end ...im like were the rest of it? its not scarry..its a waste of money.
DO NOT BUY NOR RENT THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT A REFUND OR EXCHANGE!!!!!

HONEST IF I COULD ID RATE IT A ZERO
