Review of Rise: Blood Hunter (2007) by Tedrico L — 19 Jun 2008

Wow. Who?d ever think that Lucy Liu would make such a sexy vampire? She looks better than the lead vampire in Underworld. This movie is dark, and gothic, and loaded with blood, blood, and more blood. The only reason it did not get 5 stars is because somehow director, Sebastian Gutierrez, forgot to put a pair of fake fangs in his casting crew?s mouths.

That?s right ... you?ll not see one fang in this movie. Other than that, you get to see Sadie Blake (played by Lucy Liu) kill off the dreadful Los Angeles vampires who raped her and turned her into the undead without her permission and express written consent, if you will.

LOL! She?s pretty much tenacious about doing so and menacing about it as if she were the Asian version of Wesley Snipe?s character, Blade. It?s not long before she convinces an ex police chief (played by Michael Chiklis from the FX?s ?The Shield?) who lost his daughter to the same vampires, to assist her with the nasty task of stopping the lead Vampire from doing this unforgivable act to any other innocent and unsuspecting humans.

I urge anyone to watch this film and get ready to hold on to your seats for a bloody, vengeful & revengeful thrill ride.
