I watched this movie last night out of boredom. The movie has a pretty decent story line but loads of flaws e.g. if they had focused more on the ZV's(zombie vampires), as they are referred to in the movie, rather than on the guns and bullets used it would have turned out to be much better. The story starts interesting but after 10 minutes into the film quickly diminishes and you end up wondering when it would end(not a great sign). Talking about the cast, I remember Luke Goss from Blade II(Nomak) and Hellboy II(Prince Nuada), both roles were played extremely good especially in Hellboy. He had really good action scenes in both movies and I really enjoyed the ones in Hellboy II..but having said that, the action sequences in this movie are pretty bad. There is a part where Luke gets to fight a whole bunch of ZV's...well I could not believe it was the same guy from what I had witnessed in the other mentioned movies. There are parts in the movie where the director took the liberty of showing how each one of the good guys became vampires, starting from vikings, going through the jungles in Vietnam and ending up in the wild west. I found it pretty funny but it was a good effort and with some good visual effects(which BTW the movie lacks) would have made a good impact on the movie. With a bigger budget this movie could have got somewhere but as it is it will not be ending up in my collection and I would not recommend it to anyone. Watch it if you are really bored and don't have anything better to do.
