He's fought the forces of darkness alone...until now.
The storyline for the third film finds Blade joining forces with two vampire hunters, part of a group called the Nightstalkers, as they tackle the powerful and ruthless villain Danica Talos. After harvesting the superior blood of the ancestor of all modern vampires, Talos has resurrected the man now known as "Drake" (notice the modernization of the Dracula name) from a century-long sleep in the hopes of finally getting world control for all vampires.

Blade: Trinity sets a new low for this franchise
posted on 28 Aug 2009Written and directed by: David S. Goyer Starring: Wesley Snipes, Kris Kristofferson, Ryan Reynolds, Jessica Biel, Parker Posey, Dominic Purcell I was kind of indifferent towards Blade: Trinity when I left the cinema. Now I aggressively dislike it.Isn't December supposed to be the month in which all the good films are released? Blade: Trinity sticks out like a sore thumb, but for all the wrong reasons. And no, I am not being hyperbolic. I was actually quite a fan of both Blade and Blade II, so this comes as a crushing disappointment. Probably more so than the awful The Matrix Revolutions.Fans of the famous vampire hunter, in both the comic book and on screen, deserve much better. Wesley Snipes, cool as he has always been as Blade himself, deserves much better. The blame should squarely be focused on David S. Goyer. He wrote the first two films in this series, but has been allowed to direct this one. Big mistake. On this evidence, he has no idea how to direct. (Snipes allegedly doesn't want to work with him again, and if that really is the case, it's no surprise.) The plots for the first two Blades WERE over-the-top, but there was so much else going on to keep you involved that you didn't really have to think about the story. Not only does this plot stretch plausibility even further, but the action, gadgets and atmosphere aren't even impressive. This is more like a weak comedy crossed with a below par episode of Buffy. It even has the obligatory female vampire slayer.We meet up with Blade again when he has taken care of another vampire - or so he thinks. It's a trap to get him into trouble with the law, and he is eventually arrested. Luckily he is saved by two fellow vampire hunters, Hannibal King (Ryan Reynolds) and Abigail Whistler (Jessica Biel), daughter of Blade's old mentor Whistler (Kris Kristofferson). These three - Blade, King and Abigail - form a "trinity", and find themselves battling against - wait for it - Dracula.You know a vampire franchise is beginning to run out of ideas when Dracula is brought in to be the main villain. It gets worse; Dracula, in the guise of nonthreatening Martin Johnson lookalike Dominic Purcell, makes Stephen Dorff's villain in Blade look excellent by comparison. The Blade series hasn't had the most memorable central adversaries, and this film certainly doesn't aid it in that area.But David Goyer has already made two major blunders on top of this. One of those is piling on the emotion in the midsection. (Take the corniness factor of the penultimate scene in Blade II, multiply it by five, and you get the idea.) Another, and this is what really ruins the film, is the overuse of the shaky-cam, slow motion shots and quick cutting techniques in the action scenes. Goyer does so to such an extent that we are beyond caring by the closing minutes of the film.Stephen Norrington and Guillermo Del Toro knew how to create the right atmosphere for a Blade film. David Goyer hasn't a clue. A film series that was once on the level of Spider-Man now feels closer to the level of Resident: Evil. How the mighty have fallen.Rating: * (out of *****)
Do not bother with this one
posted on 28 Aug 2009First of all, if this is the level of intelligence of plot, dialog and camera work the average movie watcher has slumped to, then we may as well invent a time machine so that we can go back and give IL' Darwin the bird. Personally, I like computers. But when they are used to create mindless, irrelevant eye-candy such as this, then it's time to pull the plug. Pretty does not compensate for content… you need something to base the special effects on, which brings me to…Second, if you are a movie fan, then there is no new creative material in this film. This is the video equivalent to modern hip-hop music—i.e., a repetitive collection of sampled material. Instead, I recommend watching those films in which this one had borrowed so much from: The Matrix (1 and 3), Aliens, Predator and the Terminator (not surprisingly, in the beloved tradition of Hollywood, the first three of those subjects has had quite a bit of box office success recently). Even the foley work was exaggerated beyond belief—-enough so that you actually notice the silly sound effects.In short, unless you have suffered a severe head trauma and enjoy such things as the witty repartee found in your average diet pill infomercial, you are better served by a visit to your local library.
I thought that THE VAMPIRE would've been a lot tougher than he was!
posted on 20 Aug 2009Don't get me wrong, I love the whole Blade concept. He's one of my favorite characters in the movie realm. Actually, I liked Blade II somewhat better. All in all, I greatly enjoyed "Trinity". However, I do seem to be kind of puzzled at the way that Blade took out what's supposed to be "THE VAMPIRE!". I would've thought that the ancient one would've stomped out anything and anyone. Hey, but that's why we call them movies right? I do hope for ONE MORE MOVIE from this line. And then I'll be straight. No more than that though! The action and the equipment & technology that is used by everyone involved in this war, to me, is unprecedented.
The awfulness burned like the heat of a million suns
posted on 20 Aug 2009(Major spoilers) I hated this movie. I loved the first one. I really liked the second one. I absolutely hated the third. The characterization was flat. Hannibal King did nothing for this movie. The fact Ryan Reynolds looks good without a shirt after he gained thirty pounds of muscle is no reason to cast him in what should have been a serious vampire movie. The first two had some humour but this one was over the top cheesy. Anyone who thinks Blade would not have killed Hannibal just to shut him up needs their head examined. What was up with all the wise cracks and one liners? That is not what the Blade franchise is about.I hated Parker Posey. I read a comment someone else made that said she was sexy as hell in this movie. On who's world? She was the ugliest thing I've ever seen. The over the top facial expressions and hair/wardrobe ruined any chance her character had at being a believable protagonist.Why are the Vamps at the first driving riced out imports and why is Blade's Charger pimped out all of a sudden? Gold rims and nitrous? It was a stupid thing to do to the classic black beast. American muscle, all it needs is the deep growl from a three inch exhaust and the blower on top. It didn't need the nitrous kit and bling bling. Wouldn't Blade want the car to blend in? I thought it was all about flying under the radar in the first movie. This was not supposed to be three fast, three furious.Why did the Vamps need glow-sticks? This movie had so many plot holes it would take all day and night to cover them all. The guy who played Dracula or 'Drake' wasn't convincing at all. When Snipes says he was denied the input to the script and director he was promised I feel for him. They took a successful movie franchise and turned it into an action comedy about quick, cheesy laughs and attempting to make a spin off franchise for Biel and Reynolds.On that note, slay-lists? OK, she's hunting something stronger, faster, almost silent, and certainly deadly. So she voluntarily gives up one of her senses? What a stupid character point. And on the subject of Whistler having a daughter, give me a break. He supposedly loved his wife and children so much that after their death by vampire he dedicated his life to hunting them down. But now, in the quest for 'coolness' we are asked to believe he cheated on his wife and had another child out of wedlock. The whole motivation behind Whistler is that his family is all gone, all killed by vampires. But now he has a daughter out of wedlock. And it's not even that he had her after his wife died, or before, but that he had an affair.Why were all the new vampires reapers? They eliminated the reapers in the second movie. The vampires with the jaws that split were genetically created by Damaskinos. Dracula should bite in the typical vampire way, not like a reaper. Same for Trip's dog and all the others who bit reaper style. But come to think of it Dracula does bite Parker in normal vampire mode in an extended scene.Giving this movie a two can only be justified by the fact there are some decent fight scenes and the soundtrack was good.
More like Blade WWF in a worrying turn into Robocop 3 country
posted on 16 Aug 2009Always, always worry when the rating of a franchise sequel slips down a notch. In the UK parts 1 and 2 were rated 18, which in simple terms means admit 18 years or over, and part three is rated 15, which opens the gates to the high school crowd. It's a reflection of content, since the first pair were gore heavy horror movies and this is a Spiderman Matrix Happy Days hybrid. With lots of swearing. Anyone who knows the painful descent of the Robocop movies, and the sanitised TV pilot third movie, will understand my pain as I walked in unaware at the top of the movie and saw the red "15" pre-title certificate.That said, Blade Trinity isn't an all-out car crash. The opening sequence follows the pattern of trying to top the last one. It brings back THE CAR! There is a lot of hyperkinetic martial arts action. In fact, the action sequences as a whole were obviously choreographed, shot and cut by people with attention-deficit syndrome after an all-night Sunny D party. The soundtrack ditches the worst of the Blade 2 guitar-bashing metalhead AOR for the bassy electronica of the original. The final fight sequence reminds you that this is basically a superhero story and the crew do an stand-up job of throwing two indestructible bodies at the destructible architecture. I know what I like, and what I like goes "WHO-O-O-OOM!", surrounded by fracture lines in concrete and falling brick dust.Sadly, there are a few too many sad and shabby corners. Too much technology, for a start, which only emphasises the weediness of the new supporting cast of post-teen vampire hunters. We love Blade, and Blade uses a big gun and a big stick with a point on the end. If you need a laser-tazer cheese-slice you belong in another movie! There's also straight rip of the Alias tech guy, the post-Buffy teenager who steps in for Whistler, and the wise-cracking ex-vampire who looks like Anthony Edwards with a frickin GOATEE. I mean, really, as if Mark Green from ER is going to kick anybody's butt?The worst spoiler-free flaw in the film, though, are the two horribly miscast lead vampires. I don't know Parker Posey's other work, but here her queen bitch vampire comes across as a slightly skankier version of MTV casualty Pink, and less like the leader of a high tech master race bent on world domination than a working girl with a monkey on her back. Her only real saving grace is that they guy who plays her boss is worse. Former boy-band singer Matt Goss was a spectacular opponent in Blade 2, but here when we meet the Blade movie universe version of Dracula, King of the Undead, he actually turns out to be a too-old-for-a-boy-band doughboy who is about as threatening as a mild cough.It's not a patch on the last one, but definitely worth the ticket price, and its saving grace is that it doesn't slow down to draw breath. Also, right at the end, just when I thought Hannibal King couldn't be any more irritating or unfunny he manages a fantastic death-cell tirade against his vampire nemesis which climaxes in a three-syllable insult that starts with the word "thunder" and ended with me falling out of my chair.The film also features criminally under-rated actor James Remar in a cruelly cut-down role, and I like to see Ajax from the Warriors still getting work.
Great end to a great trilogy
posted on 16 Aug 2009As i was a big fan of the previous two blade films, i was looking forward to seeing the third and final film in the trilogy and i wasn't disappointed. Although some people have said that the added humour spoilt things, i totally disagree. I thought that some of the jokes were quite amusing and they helped to relax the atmosphere in the cinema. The fighting, as in the previous two films is awesome, and with a few new weapons for blade and his friends to play it made great viewing. Special effects were also quite good and were used well, as they were in the previous films, to display the burning bodies of the vampires. If you put all this together with a great script and some great acting, you are left with a pretty impressive film. I would definitely recommend this film to anyone, although if you haven't seen the first two films you may get a bit confused.A great film, if you haven't already seen it go see it now!!!
Not as good as the first Two Films...
posted on 16 Aug 2009"Blade Trinity" was kind of a disappointing end to the trilogy. I think they waited to long to start filming this one after the second film came out. After the perfect second movie, this one was no where close to as good. That is not to say that this is a bad movie however. You still have a lot of action, and a lot of new characters. Newcomers Ryan Reynolds and Jessica Biel join blade in his quest to kill the legendary Dracula (called Drake in this movie) as young vampire hunters. Biel and Reynolds are OK, but I'd rather see Blade go it alone to go after the remainder of the vampire community. It was also weird seeing Reynolds not in a teen comedy role. It is hard not to compare Trinity to the rest of the series, but the bad guys aren't as bad, and the good guys aren't as cool and stylish as its predecessors. I just wish that they did more with this one. Fans of the Blade series should definitely still see this, and for the casual action fan this will be a decent movie for you as well.
not so bad
posted on 14 Aug 2009This movie isn't all that bad as the former comment wrote, I agree the first blade was best but if you liked Blade 2 you are gonna like this one for sure, and there is a lot of good fighting in this movie as well, maybe the good old Wesley are getting a little stiff in the older days, or the director made some mistakes? it seems he is not so lightning fast in the fighting scenes as in the first and second movie, but he still kick some vampire ass, in this episode he is up against Dracula he'm self, it sounds a little ridiculous, but all vampire movies are, but still they are good entertainment, I give this movie 6, and if you are going to see it, make sure you see the first and second Blade movies first, then it will be much better
A bit below expectations
posted on 11 Aug 2009This review is regarding the movie itself and nothing more. I was disappointed that Snipes was not involved more the movie. The whole plot of the movie was okay...but not something to give a standing ovation. I think the two new vampire hunters pretty much made the movie. Their fighting was awesome. Dracula was also disappointing and the only power he really had was to walk in the daylight and change into human form. You would think Dracula the very first vampire of its kind would have a little bit more to offer us- he doesn't.
The only other thing I liked in the movie was the vampire dog. I was cracking up...yes there is a lot of humor in the movie which is why I give it 3 stars.
So to wrap up if you're looking for a few laughs and some action moves...go and see it. I would definitely wait until it comes out on DVD to rent it though...the expectation of this movie was NOT the greatest. But hey it's Blade.
Nothing Short of Idiotic
posted on 11 Aug 2009I waited to watch this on dvd instead of at the theater because I knew this one was going to be lame. Some parts of it were, ok. But the writing was somewhat desperate and very predictable. Blade was good, Blade 2 was killer and Trinity, well, very disappointing. Goyer's directing was terrible, not to mention looked a little amateur at best. Look at the shot of Triple H running after them after they escape the police station, WHAT IS THAT???? That looked way too ridiculous. Of course, there was nothing wrong with Wesley Snipes' performance, even though the movie was sickening he did a great job, as well as Jessica Beal (did I just say that???). The extras are alright and if you're a hardcore Blade fan, buy it, if not, you won't like this film, Goyer needs to leave the directing to the professionals.
Grating cheese will make a better use of your time to be honest
posted on 10 Aug 2009Wesley Snipes had the odd OK action scene, Ryan Reynolds forced a smile, and Jessica Beil looked good. That's it tho, that is as far as I am inclined to praise this film, and to be frank, beyond these boundaries it was no more than a painful experience. I would even go as far to say that in the cinema I found myself having a more enjoyable time watching the fluorescent exit lights..... The story line was something of a surreal comedy, i mean the fact that Blade's base got broken into was surely no surprise... considering their SECURITY GUARD WAS BLIND!? It was just countless small but idiotic ideas like these throughout the movie that cause you to start trailing off into more interesting thoughts...like the trip home for example. The only redeeming features as i said before were the odd alright action scenes,(which failed to satisfy me fully considering throughout most of them it was quite clear that they were computer generated,) the quirks of Ryan Reynolds,(which altho funny, began to run thin,) and Jessica Beil...(no more said.) OK so i am probably being a tad harsh on the film, but i suppose before hand i thought that surely they would have enough decent actors and funding from Blade 1 and 2 to keep the interest of a gore seeking teenager such as myself. Which alas they didn't.On the whole, if you've got nothing better to do with your money, go watch it. Just keep in mind that it will not be as good as you expect , and that replenishing your stamp collection may prove more fulfilling and entertaining.....and erotic.
Avoid
posted on 07 Aug 2009Blade Trinity is one of the least imaginative and dullest movies i have ever seen. There is nothing about this film that sells itself to the viewer or the marketeer. The plot is extremely poor and cliched, we have the resurection of Dracula who is used by vampire assassins to hunt down and destroy blade. It is quite sad to see a film franchise which cleverly updated the vampire myth to the 21st century in the previous two films with it's moving away from fantasy/supernatural and towards science fiction (vampirism explained as a harpo-virus in film 2, crosses dont work in film 1) reduced to reliance on a camp update of the ultra-traditional (Dracula).
The set pieces were ugly (no more trendy nightclubs or ancient ruins - just nondescript steel corridors now), the casting was diabolical (particularly Dracula and Blade's annoyingly comic male sidekick) , the dialogue was grating on the nerves, they even used some of the things they did in the other two films (eg when Dracula threatens to sacrifice an innocent child to protect himself from Blade - compared to film 1 when Frost did the same). The fight scenes were inferior to the first two films, there are too many fight scenes - if people just want to see choregraphic violence they can watch WWF. There is no atmosphere to the film. The main villain is a bad actor but to be fair the character he plays is a mess. How can a Dracula who has some sense of cliched 'honour' use a child as a human shield? How can a character who is supposed to be an arch villain - the martial equal of Blade - spend all his time running away from Blade? And then there is the scene in the fake-vampire shop were Dracula kills some poor kids because they verbally insult him, surely he would be above that given 1. his power and position and 2. the cliched honour i mentioned above. The characters that make up Blade's sidekicks are extremely forgetable and bland with the exception of the main sidekick who is memorable for all the wrong reasons...In a film which is supposed to be a brooding dark gothic sci fi/horror this guy sticks out like the Pope in Mecca, his lame efforts at providing comic relief and a contrast to Blade are truly irritating.
Sometimes a film which falls far short in the traditional categories (plot, acting etc) makes up some ground in the arena of style. Blade I was one of the most stylish horror movies ever made, this film looks like it was made on a budget of $200,000. The only good thing about this film was the vampire dogs, it was a tiny speck of originality in an otherwise forgettable mess.
OK not great.
posted on 06 Aug 2009Blade Trinity is the latest in the Blade series. Let's hope it stays that way. It's a highly entertaining movie, but it clearly shows that David S. Goyers interpretation of the Blade universe, has turned into a pretty unoriginal parade of action and faceless one-sided characters. The story is alright albeit not as good as in Blade or Blade II. This time Dracula - or Drake as he's called - is awakened by the vampires to help them defeat Blade and achieve world supremacy. Along the way Blade gets assistance from Whistlers daughter Abby (Jessica Biel) and a former vampire Hannibal King (Ryan Reynolds). The main plot is Blade versus Drake, and the two sidekicks also have their own demons to fight, which makes out the side plots. Everything is well told and straightforward, ending with a final showdown between Blade and Drake. The ending also makes sense, and leaves a small opening for a fourth movie.The acting is adequate but the quality of the characters are mixed. The Hannibal King character (Ryan Reynolds) is annoying. He's a good actor but his character is stupid. He's supposed to be the fun sidekick, but instead his comments end up being completely misplaced, and that makes his character pointless. Fun sidekicks are fine if they are properly implemented. In the first movie Quinn was the fun guy who's silly behavior and tendency to get hurt, worked really well. That's not the case with Ryan Reynolds, fortunately we don't get to see him that much. Jessica Biel works very well as Abby. She's a silent angry girl full of hatred towards the vampires, and it's a joy to see her beat them up. She works well with the Blade character which is delivered convincingly once again by Wesley Snipes. The conflict within Blade between the vampire and the human is told as reminder of what he is, but the script doesn't take advantage of his split personality.The vampires are a pretty boring experience. In Blade and Blade II the vampire society was full of internal tension, intrigues and some interesting/entertaining characters. This time the vampires are a boring faceless bunch. There is a leader (who wakes up Drake), and then there are hordes a vampire henchmen for the heroes to beat up. Boring! In the first Blade you had the story of a rebellious Frost versus the more conservative pure blooded vampires. In the second Blade the main villains' daughter fell in love with Blade. But in Blade Trinity vampires are just there to die. Drake is alright and played well by Dominic Purcell. He's supposed to be a higher vampire-being - not degenerated as the rest of the species - but the story only implies it and doesn't elaborate on it. It's a shame since a more nuanced Drake could have added some spice to the movie. The greatest shame is the end-battle. Most of it is great and you get to see Blade and Drake fight it out with swords and martial arts while they destroy the building. GREAT!!! Then Drake turns into a huge rubber monster and acts like an invulnerable truck who can only walk around a little and say "grarrrrgg" (or something like that). A shame.The action sequences are tremendous. The weapons are awesome, the choreography is awesome and the effects are awesome. Accompanied by a really cool soundtrack, it adds up to a higher experience. I think the great music and the sound in general has always been a trademark of Blade, and Trinity lives up to the standard.I think you should see this movie because the story is solid, because Snipes and Biel are awesome together, and because the action is excellent. All in all a very entertaining movie and a fitting end to the Blade movies (I hope). When you see it, ignore Ryan Reynolds and don't expect anything original at all.
Could have been better.
posted on 05 Aug 2009Blade Trinity was definently weak compared to the other films in the series considering that Blade 1 and 2 were both excellent, maybe it was the script or maybe it was Wesley Snipes who I thought didn't do to well in his role he was constantly upstaged by the two other leads played by Ryan Reynolds as Hanibal King and Jessica Biel as Abigail who is whistler's daughter.
Blade this time gets setup by some vampires when he accidentely kills a human instead of a vampire and is caught on tape so he becomes a wanted man by the F.B.I. all the while a bunch of vampires led by Danica (Parker Posey) and wreslter triple H are trying to resurrect the original and all powerful vampire Dracula or Drake so they could survive the daylight and all the usual stuff happens as Blade who teems up with the two Nightstalkers go vampire hunting.
I thought the storyline didn't offer anything new or original but the action scenes were great and some of Ryan Reynold's lines were pretty funny but it seems like the film had a few problems and it tended to drag alot especialy with the death of the blind woman who we don't care about and the guy who played Drake was a terrible actor and looked like a total wimp, if you don't care about these flaws and don't take it to seriously then you might enjoy this film I guess it was enjoyable to a certain point.
I fitting end to the trilogy...
posted on 03 Aug 2009If you're like me you can't get enough of Blade. The third installment takes a departure from the previous two movies. Now there is a new group in place to support Blade. A contingency plan in case things went wrong. Blade is alone again and is reluctant to accept the help of these newcomers, but realizes it may be the only way to take care of business. Some of the wise cracks don't feel right early on in the film, but the action makes you forget that. I rate the movie a 4 out of a 5. Some of the dialog can get cheesy, but the story and action are top notch. I recommend this installment for any fan of the previous Blade movies. It doesn't disappoint as an end to the series. But really... do we know if this is the end? Snipes IS Blade. This man deserves so many more action roles where his fighting ability can shine.
Blade Trinity not as good but good enough
posted on 02 Aug 2009Being a big fan of Blade 1, and 2 and having seen the backlash of bad reviews for this movie I was delighted to find that its actually pretty good. No its not as good as the first one or second one but its close enough. Granted I'm an action movie fan, and I watch movies for the entertainment value not to analyze the production of the movie. It has the visual style of the first one, and also the second one. It does have a few scenes that are weak, and like most everyone else I wasn't real happy with who they casted as Dracula. Lets face it everyone Imagines Dracula as a more mature man (like the guy the played Victor in Underworld) so the young gym rat looking guy just didn't seem right, even though the heritage and accent fit, he just didn't look right.The bad: Intro scene of Abigal Whistler, the hat and the flashy hi res or what ever they do to make it look all jumpy I hate. it just obscures what your looking at. When I see that It just seems to me there trying to hide something there trying to fake.Casting of Dracula: Some young guy wearing leather pants and cowboy boots looking all guido? LOL woops no offense to his acting it was just poor casting.MISC scenes: the scene of Triple H's character running behind the automobile when Abigail shoots him in the eye is just ridiculous looking, its so obviously sped up it looks cheap and fake. any action scene with the high speed filming or what the heck ever it is there doing a lot more of these days I hate. The only scene in any move I have ever seen where this didn't look like they were trying to hide something when they do this is blade one the blood bath scene when all the blood is coming down from the sprinkler system. The FBI agent after whistler blows up there whole entire base in a puff of smoke then the agents says something stupid like "whats going on in there.. someone talk to me!!" Hello.. the whole place just exploded dufus there dead... can you say editing room floor?THE GOOD: lots of great action scenes, I love Parker Posey as Danica Talos she makes a great Vampire check out the deleted scenes/outtake when she walks into the FBI place LOL thats great. I won't spool it but there is a great idea they did for a scene of Dracula 'socializing' in the modern world.. good stuff coulda been more viscous but still great idea. Ryan Reynolds as Hannibal King was great, he made me laugh like crazy, but then again I like a cold sarcastic sense of humor.All in all I think its a good addition to the blade trilogy, if they would have just cut/redone a few dorky scenes and casted Dracula better.
Lowest example of product placement ever...
posted on 27 Jul 2009Lets say vampires are real...and its your job to slay them. Surely you would need all your faculties intact, particularly hearing. That way, you'd know if someone was behind you. How then can the writer/director possibly justify equipping Abigail Whistler with an Ipod for when she fights the undead?I was recently in a bar brawl and I remember thinking, thank goodness I'm not wearing my Ipod today. I'd get my a$$ handed to me. Are the bucks really worth the shame of a product placement blowing a hole in your already thin plot credibility?Shame on you Goyer.
A good finish to a great trilogy
posted on 31 Aug 2009At first I was worried. The second Blade, though inventive, didn't have a great villain-there was Damaskinos, but he was not someone you could learn to hate. Danica Talos has done it...just as Deacon Frost did in the original. Hannibal King offers comic relief with attitude, and Blade is-as always-destroying the bloodsuckers one "suckerhead" at a time. The Nightstalker group is a team of vampire hunters that doesn't resemble Buffy, and you'll be refreshed at the presentation of Dracula (I know he's been done often). A little campy...but still, a brilliant finish for the Daywalker.
