Review of Rise: Blood Hunter (2007) by Tracy G — 18 Jul 2007

I actually forgot that I saw this movie last month ... I think that says everything.

Bizarre vampire revenge movie with film-noir aspirations, that places more interest in Lucy Liu getting her rapid revenge than even bothering to tell us why her little crossbow can so effectively kill vampires who "no longer die like humans". The story is laughably simple, but almost admirable in its intention to end the movie as soon as possible. It looks pretty good (as does Liu), and in the grand scheme of recent vampire tales it's better than that terrible "Blade" television series.

And in the grand scheme of 2007's cinematic affronts to the horror genre, it's nowhere near as awful as BLOOD & CHOCOLATE.
