Rating: 4.5 Flying Boot-tays out of 5
Two hours of Boo-tay kickin’ eye candy. There was so much boo-tay kickin’ I could hardly find my seat- what with all the boo-tays flying around and all. Seriously- this film does not disappoint, as long as you know what’s coming to you. Schindler’s List it is not. Two-hour gothic action fest with a killer soundtrack it is. No boo-tay is safe- if yours gets anywhere near the theater, you can bet it’s gonna get kicked like the rest of ‘em. It’s a tale of vampires and werewolves, set in some modern-day U.S. city where the two creatures wage an underground war. The costumes most of the time look like the matrix cast out clubbin’- but as long as that doesn’t bug you you’re fine.
It’s mythology runs pretty concurrent with a couple old school role playing games that the D&D nerds out there will relate to- Vampire: The Masquerade and Werewolf: The Apocalypse. This can become confusing or seem irrelevant to some, but I think it helps build a story that could last a few sequels. The vamps hold to a medieval European sort of aristocracy while the werewolves hang out underground and represent the working class. Add in lots of loud music and boo-tays flying everywhere and WHAMO- great flick.
