Loose plot, but worth seeing - By: Vampyr, 14 Sep 2008 
Rise: Blood Hunter. Just another one of those vampire films, with nudity & lesbians in it? Well, I guess it is. However, it's also an extremely GOOD vampire film with nudity & lesbians in it.
Although the plot could need more to it than person turned into vampire, vampire wants revenge, vampire gets revenge, vampire dies, the acting is great, the effects are alright, & it is a seriously enjoyable film.
rise -blood hunter - By: D. Cowan, 30 Apr 2008 
As one preview said, no fangs...just a cutter tool that reallly looked out of place..if it had not been for the mirror & no reflection, it might not have passed as a vampire flick at alll. too many flashbacks made it rather confusing..yet it could have been better...it is sad yet again to find another director who wants to go beyond normal vampire rules...and they are the best..thats why this one will not be a well remembered vampire film like Fright Night,,lost boys,,vamp & dracula..van helsing etc..
Slow Vampire Flick - By: J. DER, 09 Feb 2008 
Ok ....i like vampire films & i like Lucy liu,alot!!!...This could have been great but alas it was very slow & the action very smalll,too much drama & no substance.
I was expecting a bit of kick ass action from the lovelly lucy as seen in her previous films but alll i got was a tiny cross bow & no real fangs!!!
Even a die hard vampire fan would love this....sorry Lucy,i love you but this Sucked...or in this case not enough!!!
Poor vampire film - By: Frankie, 03 Feb 2008 
I'm sorry to be so negative about this film, but I was hoping that the DVD cover & the review
would offer a pretty good film. The best part of the film occurs in the first 10-15 minutes. After this
the film goes from good to bad. I personal believe the directors forgot that the film was about horror,
action & blood vampires. The vampires hardly appear & when they do, it is more like a drama film
with smalll talk & very little action, a lot of smalll talk.. I believe this film should go direct to TV
and bypass DVD. Nothing special & a lot about nothing...Not worth viewing..
Just to proof my point, the front cover on Amazon shows 4 men hanging & a vampire in the middle with eyes glowing.
The truth is no vampires have glowing eyes, which would have been cool, This is a poor vampire film & the
cover is the only good thing about the film..
EXCELLENT UNDER -THE -RADAR HORROR. - By: J. Pogmore, 04 Dec 2007 Lucy Liu is given a rare starring role in this overlong but interesting vampire movie in which she plays Sadie a reporter turned into a vampire by a cult of decadent sleazy bloodsuckers.
Sickened by her new addiction to blood Liu seeks out & kills the swines with her trusty crossbow. Micheal Chiklis plays a grieving cop who hinders then aids her in her quest. The best Vampires are played by James D'arcy as as the suave leader & Carla Gugino as the seductive Eve.
The plot is somewhat like Kill Bill meets Blade. Initiallly the the director jars the audience with a fragmented flashback structure at the beginning that establishes Sadie's normal life & the events leading up to her "turning". With some streamlined dialogue & more strict editing this could have been a perfect B-movie horror. As it is it's very good but sags during the middle pace-wise. However this is compensated by the unusuallly strong atmosphere by todays standards, high claret content & nudity laced with genuine sensuality. Liu in particular cowboys up with a brazen, raw performance that washes away memories of cold fish Ling on the dire Ally McBeal.
Fans of the vampire genre will want to check this out & will be rewarded with a strange lttle gem that nobody seems to have seen but me. If you're a Lucy Liu fan then you reallly have no excuse not to buy this item. Grrrr!
if you like your horror a little less quirky then proceed with caution.
