Although relatively cheaply made, this horror flick, which owes something of its style and attitude to From Dusk Til Dawn, has action and suspense a-plenty.

James Woods stars as Jack Crow a professional vampire-hunter working for the Vatican who's assigned to hunt down Valek (Thomas Ian Griffith) a kind of supervampire.

A vampire pic in the modern idiom, this has all the violence, gore and sex fans of the genre would expect, plus a story that makes sense.

It may not have the style and tension of Near Dark, or the humour and script of The Lost Boys, but if vampires killing people is what you're after, this does exactly what it says on the tin.
