Like Men In Blade - a cross between Men In Black, with suited secret agents covering up the existence of evil forces, and the sword-slashing Blade.

Synopsis: Saya boasts beauty-queen looks and samurai-level sword skills, and her talent as a vampire hunter is unrivaled. But Saya is herself half-vampire, thanks to her bloodsucking mother and human father.... [More]

Reviews for Blood: The Last Vampire
Unexciting, incoherent, lamely acted, and carelessly written.
07/08/09
The action sequences are the prize attraction and even they leave something to be desired.
07/03/09
It makes sense that Chris Chow's script is based on a manga series; this is a series of 20-minute episodes in search of an arc.
07/09/09
If you go in expecting an amusing stinker, you may enjoy it.
06/30/09
The best thing that can come from this film is that it will be so poorly received both by critics and audiences that it will put a damper on Hollywood's current interest in remaking anime.
07/16/09
Is there a word that transcends abysmal? BLOOD is the lowest form of cinematic garbage that carries not a single shred of redeemable screen time.
07/07/09
The peculiar, comic-book-like computer graphics -- artful at first -- finally overtake Blood and make it look like a video game instead of a graceful, graphic martial arts movie.
07/10/09
Shows a new level of filmmaking incompetence previously only seen in the films of Dr. Uwe Boll. It is just plain awful
07/07/09
Of direct-to-DVD quality, so you might as well wait until this one makes it to disc--and then skip it.
07/09/09
Apparently someone forgot to add an extra dimension in the process of adapting the film from anime -- the characters have the personality of cardboard cutouts and the actors deliver performances to match.
07/09/09
'The world is full of bloodsuckers,' notes the lead vampire's handler; the only believable line in the movie.
06/09/09
Feels like one of those Underworld sequels, but with a samurai-wielding Japanese schoolgirl instead of the tight leather outfits . . .
10/14/09
It's the action that really suffers, the anime's dynamism fizzling out as every samurai duel falls back on fake-looking CG squibs and a blur of fast-cut, see-nothing camera angles.
07/03/09
Suffers from abusive close-ups, repetitive fight sequences and uninspired demon design.
07/10/09
Top CriticSo laughably awful that it easily qualifies for so-bad-it's-good status.
07/20/09
BLOOD: THE LAST VAMPIRE is half a good film and half of a really bad one
07/06/09
Watch True Blood, Let the Right One In or Twilight instead. Or wait for Thirst or New Moon or Daybreakers or ...
07/10/09
The action is repetitive and unoriginal, but it at least offers a respite from the horrible writing and acting.
07/09/09
This live-action adaptation of Hiroyuki Kitakubo’s popular anime one-off from 2000 appears to have been made by a company of finches tweeting, 'Cheap…cheap.'
