        Plot

         Team Crowe kills a house full of vampires. They wonder why they
don't find a master vampire. The master soon comes back and kills the
whole team. Only Jack and Monotoya are left. They take Katrina, who has     been bitten, and run from Valek.
           Katrina leads them to wherever Valek has been and soon enough,
they find out that Valek is after a holy cross wich will give him the power to    walk in the sunlight. Lots of innocent people are killed and Valek gets the
cross. Once jack confronts Valek he is captured and forced into the magic
ceremony to give Valek the powers from the cross. During all of this
Donotoya is bitten by Katrina, who has vamped out.
          Padre saves Jack, the sun comes up and all the vampires run inside.
Jack follows Valek into an old building. Valek fights him with the usual bad     guy hurts good guy, good guy hurts bad guy, bad guy hurts good guy and
then good guy finds an ingenious way to kill bad guy. Those types of fight
scenes are in almost every action movie ever.They're starting to get old.
         In the end Donotoya drives to Mexico and Jack and Padre are left to
   kill all the vampires.

     SFX

      The special effects were really good through out. Even though the only
      ones were the gore effects and flaming vampires. The burning vampires
      were really cool. The director also added some pretty cool fade to red
      scene transitions.

      GORE

      Severed Heads              Severed Limbs

       Things I learned

        Vampires were created through reverse exorsism
        Vampire victims have mind links with the one who bit them
        The Baldwins don't look Mexican, even with makeup

       Things I Wondered

        Why did the crossbow arows hurt the Vampires more than the high
                powered guns

       BOTTOM LINE

          I read the book VAMPIRES and I think the movie is much better.
          The book really didn't have much of a plot and the movie had a good
          one. The movie is also the fourth best vampire movie I have seen.
          You should see it whether you like vampire movies or not. Oh and
          this movie was much better than the crappy book it was based on.
