good back-story, and good acting
... View MoreExcellent, smart action film.
... View MoreThis is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
... View MoreIt’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
... View MoreI rate this hideous failure as 1/10 because there is no facility to rate 0/10. Some bad movies are so bad that they are funny, amusing. THIS movie is in a whole different category: it is painful to watch. As another reviewer stated: Any rating above 2/10 is fake. Yes, I agree. How it is possible for two reviewers to award 10/10 and 9/10, I do not know. Cast or crew members, or friends/relatives of them? Just fooling around? Trolls? Here they are: 9/10 Another gem in the long line of the Way Of series says "peterh-23" and 10/10 This is very scary reports "jacobjohntaylor1". What? HUH? Are you serious? A "gem"? "scary"? NO WAY.This is truly one of THE worst films I have ever seen, in decades of watching a few thousand flicks. I've reviewed many hundreds, here on IMDb and elsewhere. Horror films are one of my favourite genres, vampires in particular. To try to associate this crud with Bram Stoker is criminal imho; undoubtedly the title fooled many people, drew them in to buying this puerile nonsense.Everything about this "motion picture" is dreadful. The acting is abysmal, just unbelievable. Denise Boutte in particular comes across as an 8-year old reading a script for the first time. Hard to put into words how awful her acting is; one of the very few times words do indeed fail me. A new low has been reached with the creation of this garbage. The violence is a joke, but not amusing. The ending, though mindless, was a blessed relief. Avoid it, don't watch it. I certainly regret that I wasted even one minute on it.
... View MoreSaw this on the Sci-Fi channel. There is not one good thing about this movie. Not one! The directing. The Writing. The Lighting. The Editing all stink! The worst thing was the sound. It sounded like they recorded the sound on the built in microphone of a cheap video camera. It s amazing that something this bad could even get made. I could only watch 20 minutes of it. From the first 30 seconds you could how bad it was going to be. I didn't think it could get worse, but it actually does. After 20 minutes I was actually laughing out loud. After 30 minutes my brain was getting numb. I will keep the copy of it do add with Plan 9 and Robot Monster. Horrible. Absolutely horrible. If the Sci-Fi channel ever wants it's audience to grow they better start giving us better movies than this: One of the worst ever made.
... View MoreI only spent a dollar on this movie. Jesus this thing wasn't even worth that, if I had seen this movie for free I would still feel violated, and if I had been paid to see it, the money would not have been enough.Below is my vent as I just endured this movie and I need to let it all out First of all, the holy water in her neck jugular??? WTF. And he's all "wow, you are such a genius, no one would ever think hey, holy water hurts them, they bite necks, maybe if i somehow drink this holy water and absurd it into my neck area I can kill them." Stupid, very stupid element of the film and that last line "or maybe a princess" or something of that effect, I nearly cried. That made even the holy water and wasp and training scenes seem well thought out and deserving of an Oscar.Who wrote this movie, were they in Kindergarten, but of course six year-olds are so much more intelligent than the team behind this crap, and actually have imaginations and could probably write better material, so I take that back, that is an insult to compare kindergarten children to the inbred morons who wrote this movie.None of the actors in this movie could act, it all felt very very daytime drama or school play. But of course the director must take some of the responsibility for that as well. The action scenes were embarrassing and the effects were crude and ugly, primitive, extremely half arced, just like every single element of this film.The sound effects were pathetic, that's all I will say on the matter. So moving on..The Vampires in this movie should not even be classed as that, they are degrading the entire world of fiction and it is an insult for them to be named as the likes of Lestat, Vlad deMagpyr or Bela Lugosi's classic Dracula. These are suave, charismatic, alluring, elegant and beautiful beings (but also a bit evil) the creatures shown in this movie were boring, stupid, abysmal and unoriginal.*end rant* I do really feel a lot better.Do yourselves a favour, stay away from this movie. It is not worth a single moment of your time. Go to the video store and re rent Interview with a Vampire, Underworld or the Buffy TV series instead.
... View MoreUnlike David Latt's War of the Worlds, this film by the aforementioned producer, Bram Stokers' Way of the Vampire, is a very sub-par film. At least with War of the Worlds, there were some acceptable performances and superb visual effects. This film had nothing more than an anemic (to use a "blood" term) script, with below-average dialogue. The acting was atrocious on almost every front. The production design budget also seemed to be lacking (unlike War of the Worlds which looked professional at least). Hmm, what else, before I forget what I watched? The sound - I could NOT hear almost half the dialogue been said - because the music (the score which suspiciously sounds a lot like War of the Worlds - surprise) and effects were turned up to completely drown out the inferior dialogue (perhaps this was intentional?) One positive thing I can say is that Mr. Latt knows how to turn out product, and one should keep in mind that this is a low budget film. Therefore, it isn't a bomb, but I can't give it more than 4 out of 10 stars.
