Bite me...

Rating: 4/10 (14 July 2005)

Being a fan of the horror genre, I was so looking forward to the release of this movie. If for no other reason, than to see Kate Beckinsale dressed in leather from head to toe (which, by the way, did NOT disappoint). Either my expectations were too high or the whole Vampire theme was just too played out, but I felt really let down by this movie. With all the flash-backs, flash-forwards and I think even a few flash-sideways, the plot boiled down to a regurgitated story about the battle between Vampires and Werewolves. The leading man would have been better off as a mute as he proves that just because you look like a rock-singer, it doesn't mean you should act. All in all, the movie reminded me of a Mariah Carey video, fun to watch but only as long as you have the TV on mute. But as bad as the movie was, I'd still let Kate Beckinsale bite me any day.
