I AM NOT A BIG LOVER OF VAMPIRE MOVIES. BUT SOME HAVE LEFT ME SPEELBOUND N SCARED. OTHERS HAVE MADE HATE THE GENRE EVEN MORE. SO I AM A LITTLE APPREHENSIVE WHEN IT COMES TO VAMPIRES. AND AMIDST THIS I CAME ACROSS THIS LITTLE VOD GEM BEING SHOWN ON TV. APPARENTLY A JOHN CARPENTER MOVIE SEQUEL. I HAD HIGH EXPECTATIONS. AND TO MY DISAPPOINTMENT IT WAS A LITTLE TOO HIGH :)
SYNOPSIS: In Mexico, another vampire slayer, Derek Bliss, is hired by a shady priest and aided by a group of fellow slayers in finding a large nest of 'suckers' and their powerful leader, a vampire princess. She is seeking a legendary black crucifix - the same crucifix used unsuccessfully in the first movie to perform a ritual which will enable vampires to walk in sunlight and be invulnerable.
A RAGTAG GROUP ASSEMBLED BY A HEROIC HERO TO FIGHT SOMETHING. ITS A STORYLINE WHICH HAS BEEN REPEATED MANY TIMES. AND THE SAME IDEA IS USED IN THIS MOVIE. INSTEAD THEY ARE FIGHTING A QUEEN VAMPIRE AND HER MINIONS HERE. THE USUAL TEAM TALKS,INTERESTING CHARACTERS,BONDING,SACRIFICE ARE ALL PRESENT AS THE TEAM LED BY DEREK BLISS(BON JOVI) GO VAMPIRE HUNTING. AND OF COURSE THE USUAL VAMPIRE TALK WITH A LITTLE BIT INVENTION HERE N THERE.
WRITTEN N DIRECTED BY TOMMY LEE WALLACE THIS WAS A VOD WHICH DIDNT LOOK LIKE IT. PRETTY WELL DONE. THE DIRECTION WAS DECENT N INVENTIVE. THE SCREENPLAY IS A LITTLE DULL. SOME ACTION SCENES HERE N THERE KEPT ME INTERESTED OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE SWITCHED OFF THE MOVIE. COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER CONSIDERING IT CONTAINS SOME INVENTIVE IDEAS. AND ALSO SOME SHIT LOGIC :)
THE CAST DOES DECENT WORK. WHILE BON JOVI IS A LITTLE MORE THAN DECENT. ARLY JOVER ISNT SCARY AS QUEEN VAMPIRE. OTHERS JUST SCRAPE THROUGH ESPECIALLY DIEGO LUNA N NATASHA WAGNER. I WAS VERY SURPRISED TO SEE BON JOVI ACT THAT WELL. REALLY THE REVEALATION OF THIS DISAPPOINTMENT OF A FILM.
CINEMATOGRAPHY N EDITING IS PRETTY GOOD. MUSIC IS NOTHING TO WRITE HOME ABOUT.
ALL IN ALL A PRETTY GOOD VOD MOVIE LITTERED WITH CREATIVE IDEAS BUT VERY FEW N FAR IN BETWEEN. COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH BETTER.....
