gory and disappointing

Rating: 6/10 (1 October 2003)

Can't believe I waited seven whole years to see this bloodfest. It is NOT what I thought it would be. I was expecting something mysterious and eerie, with a bunch of shooting thrown in. Instead I got a messy horror show suitable for teenagers at a drive-in.
Sometimes the violence is too violent, and to me, what happens to the hostage in the hotel is over the line.
Secondly, the notion of somebody who has accepted Jesus then turning into a vampire is just plain wrong. If you've accepted Christ, then greater who is in you than who is in the world - period! Scripturally this movie is not correct, and SOMEBODY on that film crew should have noticed and corrected that. Yes, it would have changed the film. For one thing, it might have made it more interesting.
Thankfully, Quentin and company have gone on to better work. I wouldn't mark this one high on my resume.
