This review is from: Vampires: The Turning (DVD)

It's too bad they picked such poor actors for this film. It could've been way better than it was. The movie starts out promising. Great lighting and atmosphere. Then we meet the buffoon that plays the hero. What a dolt. All he can think about is finding his girlfriend. His fake sincerity and one-track-mindedness are unconvincing. It's like those Chuck Norris movies you used to love to watch---they were alright as long as Chuck kept his mouth shut. When he opened his mouth you had to wince at the bad acting. That's how you feel watching this guy run around looking for his girlfriend. The plot seems thrown together to make the story move along. Almost zero character development. The fighting isn't too bad, but even that needs some help. I thought the villain was ok, but lacked the qualities to make you fear what he's going to do next. I liked the setting, but the execution of this movie is why it ended up direct-to-DVD. Avoid this one unless you like seeing Thailand, Thai fighting or are an avid vampire movie fan.

This review is from: Vampires: The Turning (DVD)

If you like your vampires mixed with martial arts, you may enjoy VAMPIRES: THE TURNING. But it's derivative script, sloppy effects and lame acting result in a genre mix that doesn't quite gel. Colin Egglesfield plays the studly hero whose girlfriend is kidnapped by a band of vampires while vacationing in Thailand. Egglesfield encounters another group of "good" vampires who he solicits to help him find his woman. Patrick Bauchau is around as some kind of vampire bounty hunter who helps kill the vampires with crossbows. The movie's pace is not kinetic enough to generate any suspense; we've seen the fight sequences done much better in the Blade trilogy, and its climax is anti-climactic, and the ending muddled. Only for die hard vampire or martial arts fans.

This review is from: Vampires: The Turning (DVD)

Previously saw this movie on sbs. Very good quality on the dvd. Basic story line of man losing girl and then guilt as she is snatched on road by motorbike gang. Of course, the gang are vampires. Some of the acting is very corny but enjoyable if you are looking for a vampire story with a difference..
