RISE BLOOD HUNTER (DVD Review) - 26/11/07

This Unrated Undead Cut of "Rise Blood Hunter" strays into "The Hunger" territory and unfortunately is nowhere near as good! Coming over as a female Blade Lucy Liu's undead female ex-reporter Sadie Blake goes on a mission to kill the vampires that created her armed with a crossbow. Throw in Michael Chiklis as an embittered cop who lost his own daughter to the vamps and there you have it. Dragging itself over it's 2 hour running time with too much exposition and back-story and little action you can see why this went straight to DVD. Badly edited and badly cut, the story rambles back and forth as characters come and go, subplots appear and disappear in this total shambles. Even the ending has it's predictable cliche. Boring and mostly pointless I can only presume the studio heavily edited even this supposedly Unrated edition with it's extra 25 minutes of footage. Also has a handful of Special Features as well bunged on this Region 1 (USA) DVD.
