I really liked the short anime film that this movie was based off of. They did take liberties with the story, I never read the real manga, so I have no idea. This movie is watchable. I was entertained. The swordplay was ok but not great, the special fx were kind of corny. The acting was pretty B movie grade. Never the less, I still like watching films like this, vampires, martial arts, blood.

The story focuses on Saya, a vampire hunter who is hired by the US government to investigate a high school on an American military base in Japan after ww2. Some typical kung fu slasher stuff. Kind of lacking in imagination, and they did not develop the story well enough. There are some really bad lines in some of the parts especially from the school kids and Saya. My favorite scene is when Saya rescues the other main female in the story and she is fighting endlessly, and you can really see how bad some of the edits are and how she obviously misses but blood starts flying everywhere any way. LOL

I really didn’t like the Computer Generated blood fx. It looked really fake and over the top. By no means is this movie perfect. I say rent this if you are a die hard vampire film freak. I preferred the anime version of this story absolutely, even though it was shorter. I give it a 2.8 out of 5. Click here to buy the dvd. Click here to buy the blueray.
