another comic relief

Rating: 6/10 (15 October 2008)

It has taken me ten years to actually see this movie. Why? Because I have seen a lot of trailers and was still thinking, what is the fuzz about this one, is it action is it horror? Well, I can tell there is a lot of action in it, a lot of martial art but the horror is far away, even as it is a story about vampires. It all starts of very well with the scene in the discotheque but afterwards it becomes very clear that this is a comic remake. The story is very well but the effects makes it laughable. When the mastervampires have a ritual at the end, won't tell it all, they change into flying skeletons...looks stupid, looks like Disney is horror. The only effects that are nice are the bites and the ending of Udo Kier, that's really nicely done, sometimes the flying skeletons made me remember of the disappointment of Evil Dead 3. But then it was the eighties. Due the fact that there are sequels people must really liked this one, perhaps the second one is better, will see....
