If you are a horror fan, some of the names included here will be very familiar to you. I reckon Kane Hodder is known by many, even the (some) non horror fans. The movie itself is low budget and you may have to cut this some slack in some regards.

If you are ok with a lot of violence and some humor mixed into it and don't mind the usual hiccups with horror movies of this kind, you will be entertained. Everyone else might want to steer clear and away from this ... something the characters should have done with ... well you'll know who/what.

If it isn't the poor looking image, the cheap story, or the horrible acting, this is such a bad film. The amount of poorly made "films" coming out over the last few years has bombarded viewers to the point that they no longer know what good films are. Looking at the high ratings for this "film" proves my point that too many people forgot what decent to good films were once like.

Desperate to get out of the life, a small-time gangster and his daughter target the house of a scientist and his family holding onto a special relic that's of importance to his growing museum of oddities, only to realize that he's accidentally awakened a ruthless vampire queen who will stop at nothing to tear them apart.

This was a pretty likable effort with only a few troubling elements. Among it's more engaging aspects is the fun and enjoyable sense of fun once everything finally comes together. As the seemingly disjointed storylines take a while to get going and sort itself out, the way this moves away from the prototypical home-invasion gangster itself it sets up and changes into a siege effort holding out the vampires has a lot to like. Several of these attacks in the first half where they fight each other unknowingly to save the other or disrupt the plans of one for another have some solid action and fun at times. That leads into the other good part here where the main attacks on the various family members by the vampires offer up quite a lot to like here. The gruesome and incredibly bloody attacks as the vampire isn't shy about letting the blood flow freely brings about numerous fun attacks where it's over-the-top nature manages to get a fun atmosphere. The bloody tortures she inflicts by controlling protegees to get inside their heads and unleash some more psychological torments on the survivors make for a great time as well, and with the fantastic make-up on the vampire we get here, there are some highly enjoyable aspects. There are some issues to be had with this one. One of its main problems is the random set up at the beginning that makes for a slightly complex time getting involved here. The need to have all the different forces at play here, from the family and their dynamic to the gangster and his daughter to the second home-invasion attempt by the gangster who shows up unexpectedly and finally the vampire that arrives at the house just all jumbled together into a gigantic mess. It needed a lot more work than what we got to keep these storylines and motivations straight which is a problem that really stands out here. The other problem here is the film's up-and-down pacing that comes about due to this series of disjointed storylines. With a slow beginning that gives way to some decent action at times, the middle part of this one drops the pace off once again as the first attack tends to cause them to regroup and spend way too much time recapping their predicaments and past transgressions which all hold off the attacks and horror for extended periods of time. It's all terribly confusing and has quite an effect on this one with the up-and-down nature of what's happening, holding this one down the most.
