This is a thriller that started of well with a woman who wakes up at a morgue, being killed but yet not dead as she was killed by a vampire sect. Now she arises and she wants revenge.
Sadie Blake (Lucy Liu) is a reporter who had written an article about a secret Gothic party scene. The day after publication one of her sources - Tricia (Margo Harshman) - is invited to an isolated house where such a party is held. Tricia doesn't want to go so her friend Kaitlyn (Cameron Goodman) goes instead but when she doesn't come back, Tricia goes there herself just to find that her friend has been kidnapped and killed by a vampire sect. She is the next victim.
When Black tries to examine their deaths she is also kidnapped, raped and killed by the very same sect and it's after this we find her in the morgue.
She now starts to track down and kill one after another among the vampires until she gets to the leader who killed her.
To her help she finds Tricia's father, detective Clyde Rawlins (Michael Chiklis), who wants to revenge the death of his daughter too.
On the same time, Sadie is trying to fight her urge to drink blood.
As I wrote, this could have become a rather charming story, combining the famous female revenge theme seen in 'Kill Bill' and the film Tarantino was inspired by: 'Thriller - en grym film' by Bo Arne Vibenius (and many others of course) with the classic vampire traits.
Nothing of this does occur, that is to say that this film does not develop into a thrilling and exciting, mysterious story about restitution through bloody revenge.
The acting is poor and so is the directing. The plot is thin and it's filled with clichés.
A stinger doesn't make us frightened or eager to see more either.
Director: Sebastian Gutierrez.
