As a movie consumer particularly inclined to this genre and encouraged due to the positive reviews I've read here on the IMDb, I watched this movie and now offer my analysis. I don't entirely disagree with some of the glowing reviews, however it felt like a well produced T.V. pilot rather than a true theatrical release.
It was well produced, but it never reached the "theatrical release" quality that I was lead to believe. I'll spell out the particulars...
1. The pace seems like it was intentioned to where things stopped for no other reason than it would be a great place to put a commercial break.
2. The costumes and "special" makeup, In my opinion seemed easy to recreate as though for a weekly show.
Examples: The main bad hotty: stick-on horns and vampire fangs, little leather outfit.
The main bad guy: vampire fangs, leather jacket.
The main good guy: glowing eyes, occasionally.
The main good hotty: nothing until SHE turned bad, then two finger demon hands and ugly face like the vampires on "Buffy".
It's not going to win any awards, although it's better than many of the so called theatrical releases I've seen lately. I wish they had made this into a weekly series. I'd have tuned in!
