What happens

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a 1992 American comedy horror vampire film directed by Fran Rubel Kuzui and written by Joss Whedon. It stars Kristy Swanson as the eponymous Buffy Summers, a Valley Girl cheerleader who learns it is her fate to hunt vampires. Donald Sutherland, Paul Reubens, Rutger Hauer and Luke Perry appear in supporting roles; the film also features Hilary Swank in her debut role as one of Buffy's friends. Buffy the Vampire Slayer was released by 20th Century Fox on July 31, 1992. The film received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $16.6 million on a $7 million budget. It also took a different direction from what Whedon intended, leading him to create a television series of the same name with his original plan to critical acclaim. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
