I went into theatres really wanting to like this movie. Looking around the scarcely-populated theatre, I had to wonder if it was empty for a reason. It's been such a while since a good vampire movie came out, that perhaps I went in with too high of hopes.
The movie started interestingly enough with the appropriate amounts of tits and Hollywood gore necessary for a vampire movie. But something was lost between an uninteresting script and even worse acting. The storyline sort of felt like Crow meets (insert any Hollywood monster movie here). The main problem, that I saw, was a severe lack of sympathy/identification with any of the characters. Not to mention that Lucy was just as bad as the people she was out to kill! Between the story desperately trying to convey that Lucy Liu is hot at every opportunity (it must've been mentioned about 5+ times) and every line being delivered unconvincingly...me and my friends were, I noticed, the only ones left in the theatre by the time that the movie ended.
I gave it a 2/10 because it DID have enough naked women (including Lucy Liu) and blood effects to fill the quota of a monster movie but everything else was lacking. Bottom line, I was hoping for Interview with a Vampire and I got Bloodrayne. And I wouldn't even recommend this movie to even the most forgiving of monster-movie goers.
