I have heard nothing but bad things about this, and the clip I saw online where one vampire attacks a truck brought back the bad memories of "Underworld: Evolution" which it shamelessly stole the scene from.
Yes! Just the news I was waiting for! Saw this back in July and thought it was pretty decent for a live-action anime adaptation. Sleeper vampire action hit of the summer for me. No, it wasn't "The Dark Knight" of vampire thriller flicks, but I'll gladly take this over Twilight or the Underworld films. Gianna Jun was absolutely smoldering in this.....
October 20th still feels like a long way off, but I guess that's a fair enough time to wait for it....

This looks worse then Underworld series. Though since I liked Death Race and that got panned, I may like this.
Saw one TV spot for it and it looked somewhat interesting.
No theatrical release? Lame!
There was a theatrical release but it was mainly limited to independent/arthouse theaters.....

I saw this one last week....all cgi blood, slo-motion fight scenes, and the vampires were terrible looking (in all their terrible cg glory), this one is getting a big fat PASS!
Everyone has bad things to say about it but I still want to see it! I'm love vampire movies but rarely am I ever satisfied with them.
The trailer looked interesting. Will definitely give this at least a rent.
I want to see it. Hopefully it lives up to the trailer.
Half human, half vampire that hunts vampires ? Now, where have I heard that before ? *rolls eyes*
want to see it...looks pretty good...saw the trailer...hopefully it lives up to it!!
Early DVD artwork added
I hope this come out with spanish subtitles option
That is one ugly cover.

Ugly? Ha! Don't be ridiculous. The one person that makes that cover is Masiela Lusha (she's the blonde girl at the bottom left of the coverart). She is foxy!

ha. I didn't realize that was Masiela until you mentioned it. i guess cause the blonde hair and all.
Still can't believe the girl that played the daughter on George Lopez was in that movie.....
