It's not so bad

Rating: 9/10 (14 June 2004)

I have to admit, I'm a bit of a fan of this movie. Sure, it is similar to a lot of other movies, but I'm a vamp fan and it's a heck of a lot better than Van Helsing, Hellboy or any other recent monster flick you care to mention. It has a plot, unlike a lot of other recent movies, and the special effects are not overboard. Just enough to get the job done. The movie also takes itself seriously and not a lot is tongue in cheek, unlike the afore-mentioned movies or Blade 2. In short, it's the closest thing to an original movie since the first Matrix. Take a chance, don't allow the lowish rating to fool you. You'll enjoy it!
