If I were rating this against only Sci Fi Channel fare I'd have to give it an 8 or maybe even a 9. The acting was decent, the story line (relatively) unfamiliar, but the monster sucked. Nosferatu was scary; Buffy's first uber-vamp (the Master) was scary; this guy (Vampire Leader?) ain't.
The idea of an having an Anne Rice wannabe also be a vamp wannabe is, I think, unique and also intriguing. It comes off quite well.
The delusional/psychotic cop who either is, or isn't, comes off well, too, although the very last scene lacks much imagination. A little more thought put into it would have done a lot for this flick. And Lance must be getting more than a little long in the tooth for even this easy a job. He brings no energy to the scene.
I have to admit, though, that as a big "Nash Bridges" fan, Jodi Lyn O'Keefe was the main reason I recorded and watched this movie. Overall, I'm glad I did.
