great visuals, weak story

Rating: 7/10 (27 September 2002)

The effects for the new Reapers were amazing. The way the jaw split as well as when they did the disection, made you really believe such a creature is real and they just managed to film it.
The story was recycled Buffy meets the Dolph lundgren Punisher film, where the hero makes a deal with his enemies to fight an even worse enemy while falling in love with a person he is supposed to hate and betrayed by those he trusted. Bland, boring and wholly unoriginal.
But the amazing visuals are almost worth the 2 hours of mediocre plot. If you are looking for a great vampire story watch Buffy or rent Near Dark. If you want great effects and non stop digitally enhanced martial arts set to a pulsating soundtrack, watch Blade 2
