Interesting idea - it is accepted that vampires live amongst us. As such, they are quarantined to the smoky desolation of 'section 5'. As would probably happen in real life, pro-life protesters proclaim that they are people and are being treated like prisoners when they have a right to life. As a contrast to that, the vampires are also described as 'an affront to God' and deserve to be segregated by other-minded souls. Within the vampire community, comprising of low-lives who make undercover exchanges of synthetic blood substitute for the right price, there is an even bigger danger; something is killing the vampires. To this end, a group of hardened criminals are granted a partial pardon if they make it their mission to destroy this new threat.The characters presented are exactly the kind of designer-stubbled, black-leather jacket wearing poseurs that I feel has given the vampire concept an image that goes against everything interesting about the original concept. The 'good guys' fair no better, a crew of strutting wise-cracking men or perfectly manicured, improbably attractive females who are strong in determination but always happy to bow to the wishes of the men folk. Impossible to like, everyone postures, smoulders and puckers as much as the screen time will allow them to do. The one exception is the main cop's right hand man, who is from the North of England and is the relentless victim of the team's self-obsessed put-downs. The good central ideas aside (which apparently are startlingly similar to teen-soap 'True Blood') this well-shot, nicely scored film is a chore to get through. No-one is remotely real, just a collection of glistening catwalk models happy to parade themselves, self-satisfied, through a series of borrowed tension-free set-pieces and the whole enterprise emerges as darkened, elongated day-time soap filler.
... View MoreSeriously, I do. I love vampire movies. Old, new, cheesy, whatever. I even mildly enjoyed Twilight(s). This, this whore of Babylon, this abomination, this true liar, this un-entertaining, deeply boring, badly acted, awfully produced, blindly directed piece of swamp smeg is dire. Really dire. DON'T GO THERE kids. Just say no.Oh and, btw, goth241984, how deeply involved with this movie were you?I love b-movies. I live with the stigma, I defend my kin who share my love. I normally use low reviews on IMDb as a promising start for my likely level of enjoyment. This time though, I'm left naked, removed of all defence. My self respect burned in a mercurial (really) fire. Will I recover? I'll live to watch Priest another day. I'll swashbuckle my way through Blade. I'll see your Soldier and raise you a Gallowswalkers (yeah, I loved the wigs too). I'll be OK. Time, and wine, are great healers. This is my first, and possibly only, review. Don't let this be your first vamp flick, because it will be your only if you judge them all on this.
... View MoreThe entire film is not worth watching. Unless your a director doing research on what not to do. Like a vampire being made in 5 seconds. Also a new vampire making a human into another vampire before they have even fed for the first time. The actors needed to get a clue. Vampires do not fidget. There is no such thing as a vampire with ADHD. It makes them look too human. None of the actors did well. They should get an F for effort and research on their characters.The plot was pathetic and predictable. The graphics were boring but thats to be expected, why try when everything else is so sub par? This is one of the worst movies ever made in a vampire genre. Was it fun to watch? Hell no.
... View MoreI caught this late at night when I really needed to go sleep, but I couldn't stop watching ! and I loved it! The plot was not original,( there are several movies out sort of like it ,but its still GOOD ) and it was fun. I think all the cast did a great job with the script, but I especially loved Ben Lambert as Nikolai , he was perfect for the part! I haven't seen him before this but will be looking for him in other things! Andrew Lee Potts is always good in anything I have seen him in ( I loved him in Primevil ) and he did great in this too. Neil Jackson was very good too, and yes I think he did better in this than Push too.. Some of it was pretty goofy, but that is what made it so much fun! I think All the actors and actresses did a great job in this and I will be looking for it on DVD.
