The story of the ultimate vampire hunter, Blade (Wesley Snipes) is an immortal warrior who possesses the superhuman strength and evil cunning of a vampire but shares none of their weaknesses.

Able to walk by day and stalk by night, Blade must confront his ultimate adversary, the omnipotent vampire overlord Deacon Frost (Stephen Dorff) intent on leading a secret nation to conquer mankind. Blade must use his awesome powers and razor-sharp weaponry like never before to prevent the annihilation of the human race.

Theatrical report

Bleed, baby, bleed!

This is a hard-core, full-on action/martial arts/supernatural/special effects extravaganza that goes and goes and goes. It's the type of film that doesn't take itself too seriously, so you can switch off and enjoy the ride. There's blood and killing for days, more than enough to satiate the most ravenous action aficionado, and high-tech and low-tech, and guns and weapons and fights and swords and cars and bikes and gore and stunts and loads of weird stuff.

An Oscar it ain't gonna win, but who cares? This movie is fun!
