Rise: Blood Hunter (2007)

Movie Review by The Gravedigger	11.02.07

---

Lucy Lui is a reporter for L.A. WEEKLY who is killed and turned into a vampire after she does an article on vampire poseurs. She wakes up in the morgue and realizes that there's no going back. So she tracks down the vampires who created her and kills them. The vampire qualities are down-played too much in this film. They can go out during the day, they have no fangs. And when they attack they use these little necklace daggers to slice open the victim's throat, like that opening scene in THE HUNGER (a much better vampire movie). The only thing they make a big deal of is that they have no reflection in a mirror. This movie is a few years old and the most likely reason it was released sooner is that it isn't very good. It's overlong, there's little empathy for the main character and it succeeds in making vampires boring. If you're a Lucy Lui fan you'll enjoy some of the nude scenes. Otherwise, it will cure your insomnia. » Search Database for Rise: Blood Hunter (2007) Seen it?
