suite92 Hank is an LA detective, and his wife Susan has left him. He follows her. A fool tries to rob him at gun point; Hank disarms him, then proceeds to beat the crap out of him. His captain reads him the riot act, then gives him a new assignment: find out about young women who go into raves, then go missing.Meanwhile, Susan is on TV on the book circuit, selling her latest book on vampires, and dating an actor. Hank starts his assignment, and meets vampires the first night. He gets close to a female vampire, Layla. They saunter through a den where an orgy is going on. Then Hank starts to see the vampires feeding on their human partners. He shoots several of them; the leader claims him and bites him on the neck. He wakes up in an abandoned office floor.He has a lot to answer for, and he tries to be honest about his experience. 'Vampires did it' was not well-received.Hank reconnects with Layla. Two officers intervene, but Layla kills them both. He awakes the next morning, and the evidence is gone.Hank starts to turn to being a vampire. He seeks the help of his ex, but she is the opposite of helpful. When she starts to recognize his change, she goes for another plan: use him to get a story for another book or three. Susan convinces him to help her get to the leader, so she can know so much more, and, as a collateral matter, perhaps keep Hank from becoming a vampire.Layla and friend break in; the vampires are about to eat Susan when Susan's new friend and his private detective burst in. The vampires kill them and eat them, then leave with the rising morning sun. Before leaving, they tell Hank that he has 24 hours before he turns.Hank and Susan find the nest. Hank handcuffs Susan to a railing, then goes in alone after giving her his cell phone. What could possibly go wrong?-----Scores------Cinematography: 8/10 Good, but not great.Sound: 8/10 OK.Acting: 5/10 Lance Henriksen was competent as usual. Kevin Dillon was better than I expected, but Vanessa Angel was worse. The side actors were unimpressive.Screenplay: 5/10 The plot meanders somewhat aimlessly at times, but at least there is a plot. Too many times, a large chunk of vampire rules gets introduced suddenly from left field. That seemed to be one of the purposes of the Susan character. Hank wears one shirt (that I could see) during the film. Yet the blood stains on it change remarkably more than once.
eadverts In fact my diarrhea is more well formed than this thing. It's hard to believe any of these people can be considered actors. Maybe it's the directors fault, but these people look like they just got their lines minutes before rehearsal and told to get into character by pretending they can't act. Although in most cases it wasn't an act that they can't act. I almost refused to watch this when I saw that Melissa Rivers was a part of the cast, that alone should be the death knell for any movie, but being a sometimes fan of Vanessa Angel and hoping she is going to have a breakout role where she can prove her acting chops, I thought I would watch. What a mistake!!!! In Vanessa's first scene with Melissa it looks like she has to swallow all of her pride just to sit there with that hack Rivers and spit out such crazy stupid dialog. Oh, Why can't Ms. Angel work with the Farrelly Bros. again??!! At least she would have a chance to work with real actors and directors again. I thought that Kevin Dillon would be able to give a decent performance considering his recent work on "Entourage". Nope.I didn't even recognize Lance Henriksen. He should have played one of the vampires. He already looks like the walking dead.Avoid at all costs. Unless your into this kind of thing. Then maybe this horrible review will lower your expectations so much that you might actually enjoy what little might be enjoyable.
jlamb-1 I would like to know who I contact at Sci Fi to request a refund of the 2 hours of my life wasted on this movie. It was a hodge-podge of every known vampire movie cliché known to man... Have to kill the master... darn its almost sundown.. Why don't they ever find him 5 minutes after 9 am?I gotta look under the bed...ooops I'm dead.The one good point in this movie (besides the end.. not the ending but the words THE END) was the Sammy Sosa impression done to the ex-wife's boyfriend. ClassyIf anyone else hasn't seen this flick.. I envy you.
SpookyT The movie was not bad. It wasn't great either. I enjoyed it, so it gets points for that. It was relatively predictable, the effects were kind of mediocre, but Lance Henrickson was good, the girls were cute, and it was about vampires, so hell, it couldn't be all bad. I think, had I paid 8.00 to see it in a theatre I would be a bit ragged off. But in that all I lost was a couple of hours on an early Saturday night... I am content. I would give it 6 fang marks out of 20 (remember there are two fang marks to each bite... smile) Watch it on Sci-Fi but I wouldn't spend more than a 4 dollar bargain bin price on the DVD if and when it comes out. As for me, I am going to pop open a pabst blue ribbon and watch House of 1000 Corpses again.
