PRIEST
In a world ravaged by centuries of war between humans and vampires, some warrior priests attempt to tip the scales in favor of humanity. Get ready for some sleek action with superhuman vampires and priests imbued with ferocious martial arts skills. The ever-reliable Paul Bettany (Vision in Marvel's Avengers) stars as the titular character. Stoic to the end, he's not your typical priest - more a deadly weapon, specialising in martial arts and weapons skills that make him the perfect killer. Karl Urban remains undefeated as Black Hat too (Fucking diabolical!). Equipped with a simple plot and driven by marvelous cinematography and effects, this should jog your adrenaline from dystopia to euphoria. Try it!
DAYBREAKERS
It's the year 2019 and the world has been taken over by vampires. Humans are being farmed for their blood, but there are fewer and fewer of them. Vampires turn feral when they don't get human blood. So the dwindling human race have real devastating consequences, just imagine a parched world thrown into drought without water and the only chance at survival is to quench that abysmal thirst with blood, terrific! Edward Dalton (Ethan Hawke) is a vampire, but he's searching for a blood substitute. He wants to save the human race. That's why the humans want his help for the ultimate cure. William Defoe did good as a supporting act, and the gore, suspense, twist and horror will keep you on the edge of your seat. A must watch.
DOOM
This is one epic one! I had heard a lot of bad things about the movie DOOM, including a lot of negative comments by the game producers of the same name. As a movie-lover, such things might make you have a rethink about your decision to watch the movie but here I am, happy that I got to see it in its glory! The visual effects were completely stunning and convincing. The characters were good. All in all, DOOM is one of the best movies I have ever seen. You will not regret seeing it!
DRACULA UNTOLD
"Dracula Untold" is an underrated action movie with the story of the origin of Dracula. This movie has a dramatic and full of action story, disclosed through great screenplay, special effects and music score. Luke Evans is perfect in the role of a prince capable of an ultimate sacrifice to save his beloved family and people. It is funny to see critics saying that a vampire action movie does not have historical accuracy, like excuse me? It's meant to be a fiction!!!. Watch for the entertainment.
LEGION
When a group of strangers at a dusty roadside diner come under attack by demonic forces, their only chance for survival lies with an archangel named Michael (Paul Bettany), who informs a pregnant waitress that her unborn child is humanity's last hope. The story is simple: God has finally lost all hope in humanity and sends his legions of angels to bring about the apocalypse. Heralding this charge is Archangel Gabriel (Kevin Durand). This movie has lots of interesting ideas and visual takes on this world. It's a shoot-em-up horror crossed with a graphic novel. My only problem is that it's extremely underwritten and had so much potential but failed to reach them plot-wise. You could check out the Tv series (SyFy) of the same name for more content. Good watch!
LET ME IN
This is not your typical horror film, though it does have horror elements (e.g. suspense, violence, gore). Really, it's a story about the complex loving relationship that develops between two children. The fact that one of them is a vampire just makes things more interesting. The writing, direction and picture are all smooth; Matt Reeves is a treasure to behold and the two leads were superb. There were some gruesome gory scenes which might unsettle a faint-hearted person but behind the madness of this underlies the beauty in the story, effects and cinematography. A must watch. One of the best movies I've ever seen. Breathtaking!
