A reporter wakes up in a morgue and finds herself a member of the undead, before vowing revenge against the sect which put her there. The snoopy reporter Sadie Blake is called by her nerd colleague Ethan Mills that has deciphered a code and found an address in Koreatown from information of the Goth Tricia Rawlins about a bloody cult. Sadie does not give attention to Ethan, but when she sees on the front page of the news that Tricia has been found dead in a dumpster in Koreatown, she decides to visit the address. She finds an abandoned house with a gruesome basement full of blood and she immediately drives to Ethan's apartment. She finds the place in a complete mess and is abducted by a stranger and taken to Bishop, who wants to know what Tricia has told her. Then, Bishop and his mate Eve kill Sadie and they have a necrophilic threesome with her body. Later, Sadie awakes in the freezer of the morgue and sooner she realizes that she is a vampire and promises revenge to her sire. Certainly worth viewing just for Lucy Liu alone. Beautiful actress, often naked. There were, however, too many inconsistencies. Eye candy and slick cinematography aside. For example, if Tricia created the website about the feeding, why was she afraid to go into the house and why was she surprised by what she found there? Why was Arturo called the alchemist? I'm assuming there were deleted scenes detailing Sadie's 'training'. If not, I don't know why he was introduced. I'm curious why Gutierrez mentioned they shot it in 30 days unless it was to prepare us for these inconsistencies and unclear additions to the story.<br/><br/>I don't imagine many people would complain about kicking off the movie with the promise of Lucy Liu in a lesbian shower scene. But other than the leer factor it didn't add much to the film. I had read the film would open in the morgue. I might have preferred that.<br/><br/>Those points aside, if you like blood and gore in your films, and {expected} things jumping out at you, go see this movie. I watched a great deal if behind my fingers and can say the shelter scene was one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen.<br/><br/>Can anyone tell me, what exactly is Guiterrez' connection with Entourage? i REALLY wanted to like this movie… it starts out pretty promising because it takes a very unromantic approach on the vampire theme - no sweet seduction, just butchering. it has a very gritty look and feel (although they should've made it even grittier still) but towards the end of the movie it slides more and more into feeling like some cheap b-movie. stupid dialogues and cheesy lines as far as the eye can see. also it seemed to me both the acting and the gore effects were getting worse as the film progressed.<br/><br/>it almost seemed to me like the movie was shot sequentially and at first the people enjoyed working on it a lot but then something changed… or maybe it's already the script that got worse and worse.<br/><br/>i give it 7/10 because it still features very nicely done scenes and this innovative approach. i'm still disappointed because it could've easily gotten 9/10 if they had paid more attention to the things i mentioned above… it's really a pity.
Rise aka Rise: Blood Hunter is based on a script by director Sebastian Gutierrez. The characters share the last name, this is true, and they are both vampire hunters, but most viewers who are familiar with the movie as well as with LKH's books claim that that's where the similarity ends. In the Anita Blake series, Anita isn't bitten for quite some time into the series. She lives in a society where vampirism is legal and can be attained legally at the age of 18. She doesn't go hunting the vampires unless she has a court order to do so, and the vampires that she does kill without a court order have usually attacked her first. Unlike Anita Blake, Sadie Blake doesn't bring corpses back to life by using her necromancy powers nor does she work with any special police task force designed to handle supernatural problems. Anita is strong-willed and defiant since page one while Sadie didn't seem to get aggressive until she realized what she has become. It's possible that writer/director Sebastian Gutierrez could have been inspired by the books of Laurell K. Hamilton and tried to pay homage by giving his character the same last name, but any similarity ends there. No reason was given in the movie, and director Sebastian Gutierrez has not explained why he hired an Asian actress (<a href="/name/nm0005154/">Lucy Liu</a>) to play the role of Sadie Blake. Viewers who have pondered this question have offered several possibilities, including: (1) Sadie's mother (who is depicted as Asian in the movie) married a non-Asian or part-Asian man surnamed Blake, (2) Sadie was adopted, (3) Sadie's parents changed their surname when they came to America, and (4) it was Sadie's pen name at the L.A. Weekly office, where she worked as a reporter. Yes it is. In authentic vampire lore, i.e., from ancient and medieval times, vampires could be up during the daylight hours. In some gypsy vampire lore, in fact, the vampire (or "mulo") was thought to be most active at noon. Even in fiction, Dracula didn't need to sleep during the day and could actively walk outside in the sunlight. So could Carmilla. The whole vampires-burn-up-in-the-sun thing started in Nosferatu (1922). It is not part of real vampire lore. Yes, he is. He plays a nameless bartender who aids Sadie Blake when she goes looking for the vampires who murdered and turned her. This is actually his second last film. Prior to his death in 2006, <a href="/name/nm0538683/">Mako</a> provided his voice for Master Splinter in <a href="/title/tt0453556/">TMNT (2007)</a> (2007). He also did the voice for Uncle Iroh in the <a href="/title/tt0417299/">Avatar: The Last Airbender (2003)</a> TV series. The movie was rated R for theaters. On DVD, not only the R-rated version (97 minutes) but also the unrated version (122 minutes) was released. The huge difference implies bigger differences and watching it more closely, it's not just that. There are much more differences than only the running time. Basically one can say that the movie has been entirely new edited. There are many tiny differences like alternate shots, scene extensions etc. It's quite interesting to see how many really short scenes have been removed for the R-rated version to reduce its length. Shots have been shortened and parts of the dialogs have been removed as well, only the bare necessities are still in. Furthermore the order of the scenes has been changed. Where the R-rated version was almost chronological, the unrated version has become less chronological, due to the narration via flashbacks. Moreover each of the versions contains footage which isn't in the other version. The term "unrated" is better for advertising, but for this movie, it could also be considered as Director's Cut. a5c7b9f00b Camp Princess hd full movie downloadUndaunted tamil pdf downloadKeng Leon, Keng Tigre (Ecu Tatakut, Keka Pa) in hindi movie downloadFinal Space in hindi free downloadMegamind tamil dubbed movie free downloadThe Bourne Identity full movie in hindi free download mp4Download hindi movie Module OverseerSurvival movie free download in hindiThe Bad CompanyWalk-Ons 720p torrent
