One of the better and darker Marvel superhero flicks

Rating: 8/10 (12 July 2018)

I rented this movie at one point and was intrigued from start to finish. Lots of action, if excessively gory, and vampire slaying. Kind of like a certain she-slayer from the mind of Joss Whedon. But this is something like Batman meets Zorro with a nocturnal protagonist who also wields a sword and various other sharp implements. I hadn't seen this much blood since Duke Nukem 3D. The villain is really good too and we get to see Donal Logue from the TV sitcom Grounded For Life as a voracious minion of the vampire Deacon Frost. Is the world doomed to the mercy of the bloodsuckers? Is the darkest truly before the dawn? You'll see!
