Blood: The Last Vampire (2009) – Review

so it is a bloody mess or is it as good as the original.

before I even do this quick review (and it will be quick just doing it to break my day up a bit) i think we can guess it going be very terrible because its a live action remake. But to be fair it was much better than I expected it did actually have parts of the original still in it!! shock!

now if you are going to watch and expect a good film go away now its just not a pile a steaming whatever. if you liked the creepy dark feel of the original you will be disappointed with this.

first we start off in the exact same way at the original so all things started perfectly (expect the black guy has been changed to some annoying American white guy)

so far its all good she kills the guy and puts him in-between the trains for safe keeping. now the secon she gets off the train the film goes from being a stunning 10/10 to a 9/10 so ok I can deal with the character changes though Liam Cunningham does a great job as playing Michael shame though cause he’s the only person who stayed even close to the original.

great actor shame he also one of those people where you go oh I remember him from something what was it…? 

ok now this is where it gets bad so Saya is sent to the school where some people have been killed by some “bloodsuckers” so ok that’s correct still a 9/10. Now enter annoying American number 2 who is called Alice Mckee played by Allison Miller. She is really only in this film to drive the cars and look helpless.

not the worlds greatest actor and she was only used in this one to advance the plot! wait what? why does the plot need advancing it did fine by itself before. oh joy 8/10

now sit though some pointless school class crap where they talk about boring stuff yay 3 minutes of filler just what I wanted. now cut to a scene where its kendo practice but it now mad demons with swords trying to kill off the support character!

then saya comes in to save the worthless teen so annoying American saved once to advance plot.Then the “council” turns up to clean up and the American army goes ape shit so annoying american 2 goes into town to find some answers. Then is turns into L4D2

look I’m on the roof in the middle of town just cause I might be needed to save some stupid girl.

Looks Resident evil 4 without the chainsaw.

emm fake computer generated blood amazing. oh look annoying American 2 get saved again then she drives the car onto the air base and trigger the end of the original film. Did i point out we are 35 mins in.

so now its time for extra plot which I’m not going to bore you with but it consists of annoying American 1 killing everyone so Saya and annoying American 2 run away and get attacked by some random demon she failed to kill 400 year prior. then its time for pointless demon battle star wars style. With the most predictable (suppose to be plot twist) of all time cause its never been done before.

Then they win an annoying American 2 ends up in a mental hospital and Saya is stuck looking for a way back home. So leave it open for a sequel which has no point what so ever.

probably worth a rent if you like watch films a lot or you just want to see how bad it can be. I’ll compare it to a Dragonball Live action moment you watch it cause they did it. so my advice rent it don’t go a buy it on blu ray like it did. and the only reason why I’ve given it such a high rating it because there are a few good bits like the opening… and the credits and ok a few of the fight scenes

5/10
