Maybe I should have read the synopsis for the 2017 movie "Drink Slay Love" before sitting down to watching it, and I could have saved myself from the suffering of sitting through a movie aimed at a teenage girl audience. But I was lured in by the movie being labeled as a comedy / fantasy / romance. So I must admit that I was expecting quite something else than what "Drink Slay Love" actually turned out to be.
Now, while I was not in the target audience, then of course the movie offered very little entertainment value or enjoyable viewing for me, but I must say that the movie is not actually a bad movie. I just happened not to enjoy it because it fell short of my liking and interest. But for a teenage girl viewer, then I am sure that "Drink Slay Love" would offer an abundance of entertainment, especially if having enjoyed stuff like "Twilight".
The storyline is pretty straight forward and easy to follow, but it was lost on me because of the target audience thing being a swing and a miss.
The effects in the movie were adequate. Keep in mind, though, that this is a Lifetime movie, so you will not be in for a grand display of bedazzling special effects that rival high end Hollywood movies.
It should be said that the acting in the movie was actually fair enough. But again, the characters were aimed at a teenage audience, so there was just little for me to relate to here.
My rating of "Drink Slay Love", despite it falling short of my personal liking and movie preference, lands on a four out of ten stars.

Plot summary
Pearl is a typical sixteen-year-old vampire. Fond of blood, allergic to the sun, and generally pretty evil. But after a mysterious attack leaves her able to survive in the daylight, everything changes. Pearl's powerful family soon finds a way to take advantage of her new ability: they send Pearl to high school, to gather fresh young blood for an upcoming feast in honor of the Vampire King. The only problem? Pearl's starting to grow a conscience. How can she serve up her new friends -- especially the cute guy who makes her fangs ache -- to be slaughtered? Then again, she's definitely dead if she lets her family down. What's a sun-loving vamp to do?

Is Elvis a vampire too?...

It doesnt really follow a story it feels like multiple stories slammed into one. The acting is okay but the story really lacks that shine
Cierra sucks and that's a compliment!
Cierra Ramirez sucks and that keeps this flick from sucking. Who wouldn't want to share some ice cream with a gorgeous vampire that is impervious to daylight? Cierra is a welcomed fresh face to an old cliched genre. Her acting carries this film. She is her own event. A perfect 10. She slays. The rest of the crew bites though, ergo the subtraction of 2 stars. I normally would rate a film with so many flaws lower, but I guess the flawless Cierra glamored me. Strange how she kind of reminds me of Jodi Arias, only safer and sweeter. She's well on her way to stratospheric heights in Hollyweird. If she's in it, I'm a-watching!
