Ah vampires, thanks to Twilight and True Blood it seems to have become the new black. Vampires seem to be in pretty much every modern movie and TV show and each time vampires are more and more bastardised but I didn't care much for them anyway in the first place, I'm a werewolf kinda guy. Now this film, even if it's over ten years old, makes changes to the whole Vampire 'lore too. In this there are two kinds of vampires, there are 'Goons' which are more like zombies with superpowers than vampires (not Twilight vampires) and 'Masters' who are very small in number and very very powerful and can infect you with vampirism through a mental link, yeah shit's dumb and honestly, it's just as bad as it sounds in the movie. I mean Masters and Goon's are so far from vampires they aren't really vampires at all, I don't even think they're called vampires directly through the entire movie either. But it seems they only included this idea for the sake of a plot device to keep the story moving, so we can forgive it, a little.
And according to myself on LOVEFiLM, I liked this movie. I thought it was very cheesy and very generic (more the generics of an action movie rather than a vampire movie though), I thought the writing sucked and so did the acting along with the plotting and choreography. Wait I liked this movie? Well yeah, it had hell of a lot of stupid but kinda cool ideas, the violence was nice albeit a little badly presented, it had that hot chick from Twin Peaks in it naked for a while and all the bad stuff gave it a sort of B-Movie Grindhouse charm, so it almost, almost, didn't matter.
Think about it!
