"Derek Bliss" (Jon Bon Jovi) is a vampire hunter who has temporarily relocated to Mexico to continue his quest against vampires. Aided by a secret firm with possible ties to the Roman Catholic Church, he is advised to seek certain members of the initial group of vampire hunters featured in the previous movie "Vampires". Unfortunately, each time he tries to track down any of these individuals he finds that they have all been brutally murdered. However, on his last stop he finds a young woman named "Zoey" (Natasha Gregson Wagner) who seems to know quite a bit about his occupation. What he also discovers is that she has been bitten by a vampire and has found a medicine which keeps her from turning into one. At least for the time-being. Not long afterward he finds other people to join his group but not all of them can be trusted as one of them is in league with a vampire named "Una" (Arly Jover) who is intent on finding the mystical "Berziers Cross" which will enable her to walk in the sunlight. Now if any of this plot seems familiar it is probably because some of it is a retread from the original movie. And if this lack of imagination wasn't bad enough, what really impacts this film, in a negative sense, is the absence of a solid lead and an almost complete lack of suspense. To be sure, Jon Bon Jovi performed in an adequate manner and Natasha Gregson Wagner was definitely cute. But the previous film had better acting and was much more intense than this version. Because of that I have rated this movie accordingly. Slightly below average.
