This is one of the better vampire movies I've seen in the past few years. Usually when they take a monster and put him in space (Leprechaun 4, Critters 4, Dracula 3000) the movie usually sucks. But in VAMPIRE WARS they manage to make the creatures even more dangerous and horrendous. In the voice-over at the beginning of the film, it's explained that when mankind started exploring space he encountered alien life-forms-and they were all vampiric.
There are soldiers who hunt down the vampires and the tale is about one of those crews. The Captain, who we think will be the lead character throughout, is killed and it's up to his new second in command (who has a shady past) to bring the disgruntled crew together. Oh, and one of the crewmembers is also a vampire, the result of two humans who were changed who became pregnant. She has a very unique power, which comes in handy later on.
We're introduced to troglodyte vampires, vampires who look like Nosferatu and even these eel-like vampires which take over humans and use them as hosts. Actor Michael Ironside (SCANNERS, V: THE SERIES) portrays one nasty vampire.
If there's only one vampire movie you want to see this year-then this is the one.
(This movie was shown in 2005 on the Sci-Fi Channel as BLOODSUCKERS)
