| Finding a movie which was financed by the main character is usually not a good thing, let alone when the film in question deals with vampires. So Mr. Dragon's part came to be. Cutter was orphaned as a young child when Sid betrayed the vampire hunter's oath. No, I don't know what the darn oath is, but it makes sense they'd have one. Years later he thinks the task is almost finished, after breaking up a dinner party and snapping the necks of every undead present all the names in his book are crossed off. Somehow the person who entered the names in the book forgot to include the king vamp. (Must have been a temp.) Jack thinks his main worry is the cops catching him and the ensuing electric chair ride when a very angry Frenchwoman shows up. This scene accomplishes two things, one - you're pretty much waving a huge flag saying, "I think you missed a few." and two - Raimy instantly starts believing in vampires. Jack sets off to kill any bloodsuckers left while reporter woman tries to convince the police that vampires do exist. On to another plot point, Bruno is infatuated with Raimy, she looks just like the woman he loved hundreds of years ago. (Huh, who would have seen that coming?) In the end it's a race against time as the night hunter attempts to save her and kill the remaining vampires, all of which have shacked up in an abandoned building. To this day I can't figure out why the modern day versions of Count Dracula don't invest in and Uzi or two. Speaking of firearms, between Cutter getting three shots out of his sawed off and Sid unloading at least thirty-six rounds from a pair of Beretta pistols, somebody can't count and it's not me. |

| Things I Learned From This Movie: | |
|
- Nobody likes garlic aftershave.
- Nothing ruins a dinner party like some maniac with a sawed off shotgun.
- Bullets will ricochet off the plastic light covers on cop cars.
- Vampire blood is better than Bactine for minor scrapes and bullet wounds.
- New vampires are only created during solar eclipses.
- The only way to kill a vampire is to break it's neck.
- Blood looks a lot like tomato paste.
- Slamming an old window down hard enough to break a man's neck will not shatter the glass.
