(2011) ***
Adapted from the popular Tokyopop comic book series, Priest is the story of a futuristic world after which a group of super warriors known as Priests have defeated the vampire plague and now have no real place in the world. When the vampires seem to be reappearing, the church refuses to accept it so one Priest goes out on his own to stop the creatures and rescue his niece who has been abducted by them
The vampires are great looking, unique and more creature than human. I do like this take on vampires, makes them scarier as an enemy. Aside from the cool looking vampires and some really kick ass fight scenes, the film itself is sadly mediocre. The dialog seems forced and amateurish, the acting over exaggerated. The ending is left in such a way that there was clearly a sequel in mind, however imdb shows nothing in the works.
