I am a vampire geek. Love Buffy, Angel, Blade, etc, but I couldn't even make it all the way through this movie. It was boring, badly acted, badly written, poorly filmed and a waste of money. The premise had potential, (Viral vampirism) but was done MUCH better in 28 days, which I loved, even though technically not a vampire movie. Selling my copy at a yard sale next summer.

and this is one of the Bs that I liked. Ok, I'm a sucker (pardon the pun) for vamp flixs and novels (jeanclaude from anita blake is among my top 3 fave vamps). When I saw the movie at a local BB, I decided to give it a try. Well, the accents kindof gave it away that its not american, and that dude's supposed Texan/Ark/LA/MS accent made me laugh at times. not because its cheezy, but yes I actually know people who talk like that. The low budget was apparent from the beginning, the storyline wasnt top notch, but I thought it was a pretty decent B-movie. I just wish that the ending had a better way of closing the movie and not left me hanging with the 'what if'. If you want 'typical hollywood' boring vamps rent Interview with a vampire. If you're into the B's give Reign a rental try.

One word DEPRESSING i mean the ending thats where you say the 5 miuntes of action if you can call it that

The best thing about this movie is the pic on the cover. I thought i'd give it a chance, but was sadly disapointed. The story was borring. It needed to be fleshed out a lot. The acting was horable. The special effects looked like they hired a kindergarden class to do them. The filming looked to be done with a hand held camcorder. The only reason it got one star was cause the picture on the cover was good enough to sucker me into renting this. Do yourself a favor and rent Blade instead.

Detailed plot: Michael Dorn, a hired chemist, creates a virus that turns people into artificial vampires (he was working on a cure for HIV). Dorn is accidentally infected and goes on the run from his employers. Those same employers, called "The Counsel", send a vampire "half-breed" and an Ex-Marine with a grudge after Dorn. Meanwhile, Dorn finds out that the Counsel wanted a virus that made vampires and used the HIV cure as a cover-up, so he begins to systematically destroy everything and everyone involved.

Pros: The plot and the writing is great. If I could get a Hollywood movie budget and make the same movie with the same script, it would be superb.

Cons: Bad acting (half of the actors have accents, half don't, and only one is good at delivering lines and facial acting), low budget special effects and cameras, cliffhanger ending.

But, to tell the truth, despite the cons, the script really kept me interested and made me stay until the end. I recommend it for fans of the vampire genre and B movies in general :-)
