Rating:

Jack Cutter (Don "The Dragon" Wilson) is on the kill for vampires and has been disturbed since his childhood after his family was killed by then and was raised to be a warrior.
He will not stop until they are all killed as he saves the life of a woman named Raimy Baker (Melanie Smith) when he explains to her what his mission is while also running away from the law and the only way to kill these vampires is to break their necks.
Yet he needs to not get caught by the police else the vampires will continue to breed and put more people in danger.

What does this film offer? Some lame Jackie Chan type fighting, unscary vampires and a lame plot.
I mean there was nothing good about this clunker as it was trying to be an action film mixed with horror and nothing dynamic or scary to top it all off.
You'll wanna wait till the sun rises long before finishing this film to kill these vampires off.

The acting is terrible as we have Don "The Dragon" Wilson as a warrior vampire slayer and really is making an ass out of himself with his performance.
Melanie Smith
is quite passable in her role as she seems to try and deliver a part in her role for the film.

Some bloody gunshots

Rick Jacobson is extremely trashy with his directing especially in the prologue scene that involved people like supporting actors James Lew and Dena Ridgley Miller battling with vampires in a beat up shack of a house played by other supporting actors such as Sophia Crawford and Vince Murdocco which looked extremely phony and amateurish.
There's also a battle performed by Don "The Dragon" Wilson in a banquet trying to kill off some vampires which looked just as lame.
There is a good shot on Wilson running in the streets from a police car.
There's also a descent dialogue by Wilson with Melanie Smith when he tells her about him hunting vampires and how to really kill them.
There is some good blocking and camera shots on Wilson when he is in a washroom and kicking open some washroom doors to see if a vampire is hiding.
A good shot on Wilson holding a shot gun and a good shot on Maria Ford grabbing Smith and ready to bite her.
But apart from all that there's nothing much more to talk about.

Terry Plumeri composes some really outdated violin playing during the beginning of this movie but some of it sounds a bit better afterwards. Yet, he has some real stale spanish guitar playing to top it off which sounds quite irritating.
