It is a performances centric movie

Good start, but then it gets ruined

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

If you paid money for this as I did in a Walmart discount bin then you'll like hate yourself. But really... I knew what I was buying. Thought I would try some low budget, poor acting, poor SFX etc. vampire movie. That is what I got but I still found I followed it and only rarely fast forwarded. I've seen some of the actors before and don't know why they got themselves involved in this. Must have had mortgage payments due. So it has almost everything derivative you can think about (synthetic blood, silver (mercury) hollow bullets, retrovirus, misunderstood vampires, human/ vampire love interest, sacrifice loved one to vampirism instead of death, evil human conspiracy, etc. So what did I like about it: 1. Harsh sharp images in some scenes. To me showing lack of technical funds but at times gave some scenes an interesting perspective. 2. Actors who were okay but never great. 3. Some odd background characters that often have no lines but look quirky. There was one weird guy on the dance floor. Also liked the female member of the vampire team but we didn't see much of her. Had few lines. Her male counterpart had no lines. 4. The setting of much of the movie is an abandoned mill or processing facility. I found the scenes there interesting to watch. 5. Sense of isolation. The factory, the use of fires in 45 gallon drums, the overground weeds came a sense of desolation to the vampire area. Or I assume they were often in that vampire area as we never seemed to see them leave it - although they must have in some cases. 6. Did have a limited sense that the vampires were "slumming" and were relegated to camps. They could have added a few more scenes to increase this sense.So these are not reasons you buy a movie but they are things that make you watch it when you have it.Ignore the title or at the least the one on IMDb (it is called Vampyre Nation on my DVD). They are copying many vampire elements but I did not find it reflective of True Blood at all. So think of it copying other poorer vampire flicks.

Quote "A little trivia...Romania once was known as Transylvania". Guess again ! ROmania is more than Transylvania, Moldavia and Wallachia . And YES this is really a SF movie...see Wikipedia.Vampires are mythological or folkloric beings who subsist by feeding on the life essence (generally in the form of blood) of living creatures, regardless of whether they are undead or a living person/being.Although vampiric entities have been recorded in many cultures, and may go back to "prehistoric times", the term vampire was not popularized until the early 18th century, after an influx of vampire superstition into Western Europe from areas where vampire legends were frequent, such as the Balkans and Eastern Europe,[8] although local variants were also known by different names, such as vrykolakas in Greece and strigoi in Romania. This increased level of vampire superstition in Europe led to mass hysteria and in some cases resulted in corpses actually being staked and people being accused of vampirism.

The story is not terrificly original but what vampire flick is? Any cleverness or wit was severely hampered by sluggish editing, badly executed effects (the slap!), poor/lack of decent music to set any kind of mood or drama, and barren sets (the club and strip club were really awful).I had already read the True Blood rip off theory and although they do have synthetic blood the similarity is mild. There are elements from a few in the genre, even Bram's original. The title was unfortunate.What I did like: the Romanian setting; with mention of old Drac himself, and vamp hunter Jonny Harker ha! The big beasties are quite cute, and the double cross intrigue mildly interesting. The actors were not wooden (well most of them) A decent story poorly executed. It had potential for so much more, shame.I've seen better effects in TV shows and think it would have made a better TV miniseries with CGI. Would love to know the budget? and if it wasn't very big then basically why bother?? With all the other movies out there and technology of today it should have been better.It kept my interest all the way through and apart from the forced camaraderie between vamps and humans being a bit lame I liked the characters, they were more likable than in some Hollywood Blockbusters.6/10 for effort of the actors and writers (and some of the production staff)

The entire film is not worth watching. Unless your a director doing research on what not to do. Like a vampire being made in 5 seconds. Also a new vampire making a human into another vampire before they have even fed for the first time. The actors needed to get a clue. Vampires do not fidget. There is no such thing as a vampire with ADHD. It makes them look too human. None of the actors did well. They should get an F for effort and research on their characters.The plot was pathetic and predictable. The graphics were boring but thats to be expected, why try when everything else is so sub par? This is one of the worst movies ever made in a vampire genre. Was it fun to watch? Hell no.
