Rating: Null/10 (2 October 2003)

Did you know that there was a secret war going on that humans pretty much are clueless to? Seems werwolves and vampires have been living anything, but a peaceful coexistence. Vampires and werewolves have been engaged in war for many centuries now, but when one vampire starts questioning why this has been going on for so long and why the werewolves are after an oridnary citizen, it turns the vampire community inside out and causes the raising of an ancient vampire leader.
Borrows more then it's fair share from flicks like The Matrix, Blade, Resident Evil and countless other video games and movies, but it takes all of the elements it has stolen from other films and combines them skillfully. The film has top of the line sets, costumes, and really well excuted special effects that don't look nowhere near as cheap as the popular CGI. Plus it has an interesting Romeo & Juliet angel where one of the vampires ends up falling in love with a werewolf. Combine that with some daring casting that works for the most part and a script that tries not to be predictable and takes you on a route you didn't expect and I would say you have what will probably be the best horror film of the fall / winter 2003 season.
