Storyline

In the Eighteenth Century, Rayne is the half-human half-vampire Dhampir and the lead attraction in a carnival's freak-show in Romania. When she escapes, she meets a fortuneteller that tells that her mother was raped by the king of the vampires Kagan and she decides to destroy her father. In her journey for revenge, she meets Vladimir and Sebastian, the leaders of the fortress of vampire hunters Brimstone, and she joins their society. She seeks for powerful talismans to defeat Kagan, while the skilled warriors Vladimir and Sebastian train her to face the forces of Kagan and her human side falls in love with Sebastian.

User Reviews

Not great but also underrated

I actually watched this movie because i had to find out if the movie was as bad as many reviews claim. And i have to say i don't think it is.

Sure it's average to below average in most ways. Much of the dialogue is dull and uninspired. The script and screenplay mostly doesn't allow for the actors to unfold, to display their skills. The battle sequences are boring. And who the h... put that silly wig on Ben Kingsley, the guy is seriously a joke in this movie.

But there are also stuff that works - or works well enough for it to be a decent B-movie i should say. Kristanna Loken pulls it off the best she can with this script and manages to portray a slightly more vulnerable and down to earth type vampire hero. I think she also does well in her fight scenes. Michael Madsen although having nothing to work with looks good as a vampire hunter. Michelle Rodriguez is doing a good job as well.

The sound and score of the movie is also good and here and there actually manages to help build a little tension or suspense. Something that the movie often lacks.

I'll admit any day that it's a flawed movie. Still there have been many big Hollywood production movies that are less worth watching than this.
