Favourite line:"Though I cannot predict the future, the consequences of this night will reverberate through the halls of both great covens for many years to come. Two vampire elders have been slain, one by my own hand. Soon, Marcus will take the throne, and a tide of anger and retribution will spill out into the night. Differences will be set aside. Allegiances will be made. And soon, I will become the hunted."

Post-Matrix action horror is what we have on offer here.

The vampires and werewolves are waging a war that has gone on for thousands of years and which they are both culturally and gentically conditioned to continue.

Great action set pieces, Kate in her Emma Peel catsuit is a veritable delight, and some reasonably violent sequences add up to a dark, high octane movie that is nothing if not enjoyable.
Recommended.
