An Older Vampire Movie

Finished watching that movie "Rise". As vampire movies go, its ok. It seems to get some of its canon from "The Hunger" i.e., they need to use a small knife to make the wound, no supernatural strength, a couple of gunshots is enough to at least temp stop one. Sunlight not to big a deal, etc. As an overall movie, it could have used a better crew (director, script writer, and replace a few actors, better editing). In one scene a sailor is shown in his crackerjack but his uniform is missing the neckerchief. Several scenes adding nothing to the movie except time. It is listed as 122 min.

wow, great review, I'll have to check it out!

I was disappointed in a couple of "word-of-mouth" reviews for the recently released "Daybreakers" starring Ethan Hawk and others..

I still wanna see it though.

Well on IMDB.com it has 7.1 stars. I have noticed that, for the most part, any rating with 6 stars and above will be entertaining. So yeah, me wanna see it.
