StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Manthast Absolutely amazing

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

bth2004 First, I didn't know it was supposed to be part of the John Carpenter series.Basic story: two Americans are in Thailand when the female runs off and is kidnapped by a group of vampires. Her boyfriend, a martial arts expert, goes looking for her. In the process, he joins forces with another group of vampires who don't hunt humans. He finds out that the leader of this group turned the evil leader. In order to save his girlfriend, the American fighter gets the good vampires to turn him into one of them so he will be strong enough to fight with them.First, the overall acting was lousy. Colin E. was decent, most of the rest were pathetic, especially Stephanie Chao. As attractive as she is, she can't act to save her life. The martial arts sequences were done quite well, however. The fighting does make up for some of the bad acting.Basic advise: see this expecting to witness some good fighting while the "acting" is done poorly and the storyline is fairly thin, and you'll probably derive some enjoyment out of this.

KingPhilth Firstly, I'll admit I haven't seen Vampires: Los Muertos, but I've seen the original Vampires film and love it. I rented this film having heard nothing about it. I didn't expect to be impressed. I wasn't.I love the idea of shifting the action to the far east, which should have opened up a lot of new avenues for the action sequences as well as the story line, but not enough was made of this. The fight scenes and the motorbike chases were painfully boring. There were some parts I liked, like the way the slayer team weren't shown as heroic good guys, as they were in the first movie.I'd been hoping since I saw the old Hammer movie Legend Of The 7 Golden Vampires a few years ago that someone would one day make another good Asian-based vampire film. This was not it.

Ky-D Contrary to some reviews on the film, this is meant to be the third chapter in the "Vampires" series (check May 2005 Fangoria) after "John Carpenter's Vampires" and "Vampires: Los Muertos". It keeps enough series elements to stay true, but also makes a number of changes.An American couple on vacation in Thailand are attacked my the title characters. The female is taken and the boyfriend is left to search for her. He comes upon a group of semi-good vampires (they don't drink from living humans) that are in a feud with the 'bad' vampires. He also encounters the titular slayers, who have a stock in the proceedings. With the uneasy help of the two groups, the boyfriend seeks to recover his lover.Keeping with the series roots, there are a group of slayers and we get to see them do their thing briefly (as in dragging a screaming vampire into the day light), but that is as far as the similarities go. First of the major changes is the location; no longer set in southwest America, the film now takes place in southeast Asia. Secondly, while slayers are present, the film mostly focuses on the inner workings of the vampire world. Lastly, instead of it's prequels tendency to treat the action like a violent 70's flick, here instead it's given the 'kung-fu' treatment, with flying kicks and sword fights.The movie is surprisingly well made. The direction is solid through out and the fight choreography is mostly well done. Also the music isn't bad either. However, the script is boring and many of the actors just aren't up to par. Some of the gore effects are well done, while others use over use second rate CG. Still, for a low-budget effort it at least looks good.A perfectly alright picture that never excels in any category, but is well enough made to be of interest to genre fans.6/10

darth_nax This show isn't bad at all, even if it's not terribly original. The premise is one of good vampires vs. evil vampires with the obligatory mortal stuck in the middle (they must do that because they think it helps people relate). The setting of the movie is Thailand, the lead actor is a normal human amateur Muay Thai fighter. He teams up with professional vampire hunters to find and kill the vampires responsible for turning his girlfriend. Overarching this story is one of the vampires creator trying to undo the curse that brought vampires into being. A curse for which she is responsible.The production values are better than most low budget horror flicks, the action is also well done. Acting is passable but the overall story is weak but well told. The biggest downfall to this movie (it being so action oriented and all) is that there a "atmospher setting" type scenes that drag on too long. Interrupts the flow of the movie without really adding anything significant. If you like these type of movies this will be a treat, if your bored and need something to watch this it a decent choice, if you like comedies and dramas there's nothing to see here.
