About
You may enjoy this if you like pulpy vampire action with gore, camp, and constant monster chases, somewhere between Ju-on: White Ghost and Gantz: Perfect Answer; Not for you if you want polished effects or serious horror.
Pros: fast-paced action; creepy island setup; fun campy energy | Cons: weak CGI; uneven acting; melodramatic stretches
