Drink Slay Love (2017 TV Movie)
5/10
Lifetime fail
11 February 2024
Pearl (Cierra Ramirez) is a vampire. She likes to sneak out at night and have a snack. After getting captured, she escapes and discovers that she can live in the sunlight. With the Vampire King coming for a feast, she is ordered by her mother to get human victims. She becomes a high school student.

This is a Lifetime movie. It may have been a backdoor pilot that failed. Cierra Ramirez was probably finishing up with The Fosters. It's a bit cheap looking. Vanessa Parise is mostly a TV director and that's what this looks like. As for the story, one would expect more examination into her sunlight immunity. These are not curious characters. The family is too big. High school drama is more important. The Romeo and Juliet aspect could work if it's done better. I don't know if Lifetime has much experience with teen vampire shows. This feels like a hesitant first step to copy other networks.
