Wonderful character development!

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Touches You

One of my all time favorites.

The most interesting thing about this film besides Christopher Lambert (the evil vampire Constantine Thurzo) , who really seems to enjoying himself hamming it up, and the incredibly beautiful vampire Elizabeth (Irena Hoffman),is how religion plays a huge role in this film the concepts of "Purgatory" and the "Creator" (things you never find in a vampire film (unless it involves killing them)). Here you see Elizabeth with a Cross on, and can go out in sunlight (two things that are generally fatal to vampires). Spoilers ahead: I know a big flaw is how Keith (Corey Sevier) get impaled prior to going to purgatory, but when he returns, there is no ripped clothing. But I think you can blame this on this being a low budget film. The biggest problem were Keith's friends Kim & JJ who bring nothing to the table, and were essentially useless to the film, and the fact it did not know if it was serious or a comedy. I basically give it a 5 because of Lambert, Irena Hoffman, and a different idea on the positive side, versus the big flaw, Kim & JJ, and poor execution of the great idea.

Helo everyone!I rented the movie yesterday to watch the mesmerizing Chirstopher Lambert in this adaptation of Blood Baroness Bathory story, who actually existed, and must say I was bitterly disappointed.First, the moving pictures that I've seen on the screen were in poor quality - not the TV seen, but the photography and cinematography were not what you can expect even in low budget movies as this one. Alone the camera movement tried to capture the mystery/horror atmosphere of the movie, but lightning was just bad - as made from students that just ended their program.Second, the Characters of the movie were mostly two dimensional, with no ability or possibility in script to give them emotional(human,when we are talking vampires) depth.Don't get me wrong; the work of actors was acceptable, but the Characters were boring. The only ones that stood out were Lambert as the Bad Guy of the story with his performance, that actually had similarity to his Mortal Combat character, and Hofmann as the Elisabeth (the "good Vampire") because she succeeded to grow over the cliché of seductive vampire woman and let me believe that Elisabeth is truly caring about Keith (played by Sevier, who still has to prove himself as an actor).The FX were OK, but the some scenes were just not working as suspense visual vehicles for the audience(for example, when brother Alexander sticks his javelin trough sister's Chaterine's heart and Hihgham character, and they disintegrate, the J.J, played by Hollway, stands in the Picture and is not afraid but amazed that the scene is actually taking place...?)Really, not funny.You see this in experimental footage of movie students. The white light of the purgatory works OK, but you can see almost the whole time, that it is not...well, that is fx.OK,enough of bad mood. The Idea of "time is slower in purgatory" and the visualization of it was really good.It worked in building the suspense and it worked as the idea of "follow the white light" was finally clear.

Well where to start with this one, I felt i had to comment on this movie as another person had given it a fairly good review, that person was blind, deaf and extremely dumb. Terrible acting, terrible casting, terrible script, terrible effects, terrible pacing hmmmm i hope i haven't left anything out.Being a fan of Christopher Lambert for many years and the B-Grade horror genre I cannot express in words my disappointment with this movie. It really is that bad. I watched it to the very end with my wife as we laughed at how many stuff ups we could find, and trust me there are a lot. My 5 year old son has been in a school play that was better scripted, cast, directed and acted.So why have i totally punked this movie, lets begin. The actors have no acting ability whatsoever (aside from lambert and Hoffman). Where in blazes did they dig these people up from, sesame street? no that would be giving them to much credit. Now as to the storyline ummmm what storyline, there is a general outline but it is never realized. The director must have come straight from law school because the guy has no idea how to make a movie. Quick question if you had been studying a person for years and was on the verge of writing a book you would at least be able to find the place where the person resided, at least thats what you would assume, yes but not here. As for the whole college student idea yeah doesn't work here.Honestly it was never a good idea to make this film, and it is definitely not a good idea to watch it.

keeping it short this is one of the worst movies i have ever seen and not so much because the setting/idea, but the actors are really.. really.. REALLY bad they are beyond bad exactly how far i don't really know cause i lost sight of em going over the "line of beyond bad"it could have been a great movie with better casting, the 3 tourists sounds like they have the script straight in front of em and they are just reading directly from it without taking much notice of what it says lambert does a so so effort to play the vampire ill admit that and Irena A Hoffman also did a pretty good job and her character felt a lil more believable (as did lamberts) the starting minute of the movie really made me want more as im a fan of keeping original languages instead of having cheesy accents but boy was i disappointed , this flick is a orgasm of cheesy accents , and the whole.. "college kids" idea is just.. sad so very sadthe whole movie is a big "could have been" from the beginning (well 1 minute in) to the endif i had financed this movie id cry long and hard after seeing it.. why you can prolly guess by now
