  WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
Blonde, bouncy Buffy (Swanson) is your typical mall doll, high school cheerleader, and valley girl. But when a dark stranger (Sutherland) summons Buffy to answer to fate, she gets her pink spandex dirty in the graveyard fighting the undead without even breaking a nail. From that night on, Buffy The Vampire Slayer is destined to rid the world of bloodsuckers. (Suzanne Hodges)

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD exhibits a nicely rendered picture that is sharp and detailed. Some scenes are wanting in a little more definition, but overall the picture is quite natural. Colors are rich and well balanced with accurate fleshtones, and deep blacks. Buffy

Soundtrack:
