Reviews

  • The movie has a certain mordant humor, and some macho dialogue that's funny. Woods manfully keeps a straight face through goofy situations where many another actor would have signaled us with a wink. But the movie is not scary, and the plot is just one gory showdown after another.

  • The lead actors on both sides of the vampire divide are all strong personalities.

  • James Woods adds another hateful, embittered creep to his gallery of losers, neurotics and junkyard dogs with vampire slayer Jack Crow.

  • The goons themselves, though, look rather chic, flying through the air in Galliano-goes-to-hell garments straight out of Vampire Vogue.

  • For all the exploding gore, graphic eviscerations and combustible corpses, it's not shocking, not sexy and not scary.
