Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant

Cirque Du Freak
(12A) 108min
Mildly diverting comedy horror about a 14-year-old boy (Chris Massoglia) who breaks an ancient truce between two warring factions of vampires. Sideshow freaks and creatures of the night come to his aid. John C Reilly, Salma Hayek and Ken Watanabe save things from getting too schlocky. Paul About A Boy Weitz directs with a restrained humour.
General release from Fri 23 Oct.
