Rating: Summary: Forsake this Film! Review: What a load of rot! The main vampire in this is supposed to be a French crusader who sold his soul. He roams around the deserts of South West USA, in the car's boot! (he's driven by a Renfield-type character)Firstly; if he's been around so long, you'd think that he'd have saved up money to at least buy a decent car. (Or at least a house) Secondly; if you're a vampire, and sun-light being your major concern, why live in the desert? Why not have a house where you can at least move about in day-light hours (remember - this guy spends half his time in a car-boot!) The rest of this film offers even more stupid scenarios.
Rating: Summary: A decent Vampire flick. Review: A couple of guys from California pick up a girl who is infected by a vampire virus tends to cure her by killing the main vampire who is causing this strange virus with his clan. Action-packed yet decent vampire flick with a cute blonde chick, gore, nudity, and a good ending that might lead up to a sequel. Also recommended: From Dusk Till Dawn, Vamp, Evil Dead II, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, Jeepers Creepers, Scream, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, Dead Alive, Re-Animator, Friday the 13th, Resident Evil, Blade 1 & 2, The Beyond and Near Dark.
Rating: Summary: Absolutely horrible. Review: I had free passes to this movie when it first came out in the theatre and still felt like I paid too much for it. They try and hook the 18-35 male audience in the first 2 minutes by showing a (typical) naked blond in the shower, and the cliches only get worse from there. The dialogue is atrocious, the cinematography lacklustre, the premise full of holes and the suspense never builds. The director/screenwriter are obviously trying to demonstrate just how sexy and primal these bloodsuckers are, but have no real understanding of the fact that vamping for the camera in skimpy outfits and pouting have nothing to do with what makes vampires (yes, it's true), alluring and dangrously appealing. No chills, nothing original, please don't waste the precious moments of your life on this stunningly bad film.
Rating: Summary: One of the most lifeless and dull vampire films ever made Review: Yet another predictable and silly vampire film about film editor Smith who goes on a road trip to attend his sister's wedding but ends up on the run from a bunch of blood-sucking freaks after picking up a hitch-hiker who fights them. Derivative of vampire films like NEAR DARK and JOHN CARPENTER'S VAMPIRES, this has a moment or two but becomes so dull that it actually disappoints.
Rating: Summary: Not even worth 2 stars but... Review: It's got great eye candy in it with Kerr Smith(Jack from of Dawson's Creek) and Brendan Fehr(Michael from of Roswell)other then that,the movie [wasn't good].I mean,you ever heard of a vampire with no fangs?Rent The Lost Boys,Blade1+2,Queen Of The Damned and Interview With The Vampire other then this for your vampire kick.
Rating: Summary: Awful Review: This movie ties only with "Jeepers Creepers" as cinematic ideas written by some movie executive on his/her toilet paper. It's so predictable and pejorative it borders on inane and a total waste of money. Schaech and Smith are decent actors, but you wouldn't find proof of it here. After watching this drivel for almost two hours, you'll find yourself roaming the desert looking for some impossibly attractive vampire to end YOUR misery.
Rating: Summary: Johnathon Schaech! Review: Well, I must admit I liked it. Although it lacks the excellence of a vampire movie such as "Interview with a Vampire", for a low-budget movie, I found it compelling. As for the lead vampire played by Johnathon Schaech, all I can say is bite me....please!! He was evil, softspoken, gorgeous, and sexy all at once. And his part could have easily been corny with an actor of less talent, but he absolutely played it perfectly. Actually, all the actors did a fabulous job, especially with the flawed plot. But all in all, I think it's worth watching. C'mon ladies...believe me...Johnathon Schraech is worth every moment!
Rating: Summary: Wasted my time... Review: I rented it expecting to see a great B-movie, like John Carpenter's The Thing or something like that. Even taking in consideration the obvious low budget of the movie, nothing can save the fact that this is a complete disgrace. I think the actor can only be blamed for accepting their roles in this piece of wasted film, but not for the failure: they simply did not have any decent material to work upon!! The direction is uninspired...
Rating: Summary: Is this never going to stop?? Review: Well, just another movie belonging to the garbage.... Is this never going to stop? Is this stupid waste of money going to continue producing mean and vile movies like this one? The main trouble is that there's no reference anymore at all to at least give a hint to the audience about the real potential of a movie. Money is the only guide to actors, screenwriters and producers to decided where to lend their services. Take, for example, the bad guy in this obnoxious movie, played by Jonathan Schaech. Judging by his very convincing performance in Tom Hanks's directed THAT THING YOU DO, you could never tell he would be in such a throwaway movie like this. See, I like road movies. I even liked John Carpenter's VAmpires, with James Woods. But this THE FORSAKEN is beyond description. It's simply utterly forgetabble.
Rating: Summary: Best vampire movie I've seen in a while Review: Keep in mind I haven't seen Near Dark yet, but I loved this movie. The cast of newcomers worked great with this low budget film. The vampires, themselves were great, both creepy and sexy at the same time. It was great to see Brendan as the rugged hunter. With Kerr as his reluctent partner.
