Description:
More than half of the members of the Royal Order of Religious Knights were massacred in episode 6; Sir Integra Hellsinger, Arucard, and Seras must now hunt down the perpetrators. The suspects include the Vatican's Iscariot Organization and whoever is making the "artificial vampirization catalyst semiconductor" or "freak chips" that turn humans into second-class ghouls. Some of the dialogue in this jejune gorefest is inadvertently hilarious. Seras asks another vampire, "How long have you been undead?" and a British Army officer says of suspected IRA members, "Even if they are no longer human, that doesn't mean their guilt as terrorists can be erased." Sir Integra is attacked by a vampire in episode 9 and stabs herself in the throat, rather than be enslaved by her own now-tainted blood. (Rated 16 and older, but unsuitable for viewers under 18: graphic violence, profanity, gore, violence against women, sexual situations) --Charles Solomon
