The best thing that one can say about this is that as utterly incoherent action extravaganzas go, it is at least an hour shorter than "Transformers 2."

Synopsis: Saya boasts beauty-queen looks and samurai-level sword skills, and her talent as a vampire hunter is unrivaled. But Saya is herself half-vampire, thanks to her bloodsucking mother and human father.... [More]

Reviews for Blood: The Last Vampire
Of direct-to-DVD quality, so you might as well wait until this one makes it to disc--and then skip it.
07/09/09
Don’t let the subtitle of Blood: The Last Vampire alarm you. The finale of this tedious piece of Asian-ish action-schlock based on a popular anime series implies an intention to make more. One was plenty for me.

Top CriticBlood: The Last Vampire might be described as Kill Bill crossed with Buffy, only that would make it sound like more than the slapdash, thrill-less dud that it is.
07/09/09
Top CriticApparently someone forgot to add an extra dimension in the process of adapting the film from anime -- the characters have the personality of cardboard cutouts and the actors deliver performances to match.
07/09/09
If you're willing to accept it for what it is - a hyperactive fantasy, pleasantly ridiculous and delivered with amusing conviction by director Chris Nahon - you should be suitably entertained.
07/09/09
It makes sense that Chris Chow's script is based on a manga series; this is a series of 20-minute episodes in search of an arc.
07/09/09
Every scrap of footage here has been done better somewhere else.
07/09/09
This isn’t a great movie. But it’s sincere as an entertainment, it looks good, it’s atmospheric.
07/09/09
Top Critic[It] turns its collection of overused action/horror staples into... well... a kind of fun collection of overused action/horror staples.
07/09/09
Boys in the audience may groan indulgently, but their dates ought to squeal with delighted pride.
07/09/09
The action is repetitive and unoriginal, but it at least offers a respite from the horrible writing and acting.
07/09/09
As the credits began to roll, I thought to myself, "I can't believe this was a theatrical release." Neither will you if you pay to see it.
07/08/09
This live-action adaptation of Hiroyuki Kitakubo’s popular anime one-off from 2000 appears to have been made by a company of finches tweeting, 'Cheap…cheap.'
07/08/09
Unexciting, incoherent, lamely acted, and carelessly written.
07/08/09
Blood is borderline incomprehensible.
07/08/09
Is there a word that transcends abysmal? BLOOD is the lowest form of cinematic garbage that carries not a single shred of redeemable screen time.
07/07/09
Shows a new level of filmmaking incompetence previously only seen in the films of Dr. Uwe Boll. It is just plain awful
07/07/09
BLOOD: THE LAST VAMPIRE is half a good film and half of a really bad one
07/06/09
It's the action that really suffers, the anime's dynamism fizzling out as every samurai duel falls back on fake-looking CG squibs and a blur of fast-cut, see-nothing camera angles.
