Résumés(1)
A la veille de la guerre du Vietnam, une base américaine est infestée par d'étranges créatures démoniaques à l'apparence humaine. Une jeune fille répondant au nom de Saya est envoyée sur place par une organisation gouvernementale secrète dans le but de les éliminer. Pour mener à bien sa mission, elle adopte alors l'identité d'une écolière et intègre le collège de la base. (Pathé Films)

The vampire genre has been getting one slap after another in recent years. First the degrading Twilight, then Seagal’s awful Against the Dark, and now this digital borefest that doesn’t even look like a movie in its key moments. Anyone who hates scenes where the hero falls down a 100 metre ravine with a truck, then shakes off the dust and carries on should avoid this. Schoolgirl Saya kicks more ass than Chuck Norris, but Nahon’s asexual direction turns what in theory should be a fun splatterfest into a boring farce that after 30 minutes makes you feel you’ve been watching for two hours. One of those films that I can’t trash with a Boo! but that I still regret watching.

I was still hopeful at the beginning – yeah, it'll be okay, or at least average. Bullshit, with mushrooms. It got boring. A lot. The main heroine, her American friend, all the characters, were two-dimensional with stupid dialogue. The best dialogue was in Japanese (probably mostly because I only half understood it...). Plus by the middle of the movie I couldn't take it anymore and kept fast-forwarding. Sometimes by ten minutes. Surprisingly, I didn't miss anything. The graphics are like something out of pulp game at a cheap bookstore. Nice movie... If you watch it anyway, watch it with Czech dubbing – the gold standard.

Blood: The Last Vampire isn't a film that's so bad that it should be dismissed as being worthy of a Boo! rating and it would be a shame to write it off like that. However, I feel that it lacks a lot. Actually, everything except for the Chinese aesthetic of the fights. Especially the final fight with Onigen is truly beautiful, and I really enjoyed that. It's as if everything before that was just filler leading up to this finale.
