Not great but still entertaining vampire movie with a fun twist at the end. I'm not usually the biggest fan of vampire films, or zombie ones for that matter (I'm more a fan of classic slashers like Halloween and Friday the 13th) but this one wasn't too bad, aside from the occasional terrible CGI blood. Also helped that the film has Willem Dafoe in it, who I wish was the central character (though Hawke was by no means bad)....

Ten years after an outbreak that turned most of the human race into vampires, a blood doctor is trying to develop substitute blood to prevent the extinction of humans, and, in turn, the vampires food supply. This was acted well and quite entertaining but it had its problems. It didn't have the final emotional oomph that it needed to get me fully engaged. The so-called 'cure' logically would have been figured out by now, considering 10 years had elapsed, and can you really call it a cure? The implications are staggering. Great blood bath ending, though. -- DrNostromo.com...
