Avia Richards (Allison Valentino) is a restless soul. After her child is murdered and the rest of her family are turned into the undead Avia becomes a katana wielding, butt-kicking vampire slayer that will stop at nothing to rid the world of blood-drinking vermin. But when she becomes romantically involved with a detective working a series of vamp-like slayings will Avia kill the local head vampire or be thrown back into an asylum from whence she came."Avia Vampire Hunter" is a fairly nice looking shot-on-DV production. "Avia" is not original by any stretch of imagination. It screams "Buffy" rip-off all over. The acting, as one would expect is rather bland with little or no believable emotion emitted by the actors. The director did manage to give the film interesting style (for a DV film) and the camera work is pretty good overall. The musical score sometimes reminded me of Danny Elfman and was quite good but it rarely seemed to match the on screen action. The sound design was quite good and the makeup effects were better than you'd normally see in this kind of film. But as you can get with DV the clarity does hinder the believability of the makeup. All-in-all "Avia" is passable fare but quite removed from anything remotely exceptional.
