    Enjoyed this movie

    My husband and I enjoyed this movie. We had watched a lousy rental the previous evening and were afraid this would be bad also. However, we were pleasantly surprised. The main characters were believable and quite sexy and romantic in their trip to Thailand. We always enjoy a vampire movie with a different "twist" on things and this surprised us. There was Ong-Bak (Muay Thai) type of fighting, beautiful costumes (both men and women), original female Thai vampires and the cinematography was top rate! The beautiful and exotic surroundings added to the mystery of the movie. I would tell others who enjoy a variation on the vampire theme to watch this one.

    Good Vampire Movie

    When i hired this movie i thought that this movie would be the worst horror/Vanmpire movie ever made but then i watched it and it turned out to be so dam good and the best Vampire movie since Blade Trinity and the best Vampire movie of 2005.And i can not understand why this movie is rated so low on this web site it is rated 3.7 and it is NOT a 3.7 it is at least a 6 out of 10.

    There are some good gore scenes in this movie with a lot of blood and the special effects are mostly good but some times they get a bit crap and there are some really great martial arts scenes in this movie.

    Over all this movie is good and if u liked the martial arts in this movie u should watch the great movie Ong Bak and my rating for this movie is 6 out of 10.

    Way Better than it has any right to be

    This is an entertaining combination of Kung Fu and horror. The performances are decent and the action/fight scenes are well choreographed.

    The film moves along at a brisk pace. You won't be bored.

    There's very little sex or T&A, unfortunately, but I won't hold that against it.

    While no "Citizen Kane", This flick is way better than I initially thought it would be. It's a worthy diversion for an afternoon.

    With all the absolutely worthless crap that Hollywood releases nowadays, it's a shame this never got a wide (or any) theatrical release.

    It seems as if this was intended to be the first of a series. If that's the case, I'd definitely check out any sequels.

    Vampires: The Turning

    This was a movie with a soul. It does not rely only on gore and shock. It had an interesting love triangle, a strong point of view, a stylized look from an exotic city in Thailand, and amazing action. It took the vampire lore and molded it into far Eastern mythology -- An American couple's troubled relationship tied into the vampire mythology as a metaphor was really interesting. The actors were really great. There was really good chemistry between the actors who played Connor and Sang and I love how the ending played out. Fantastic visuals for a lower budget film. Overall, a very fun film that elevated the genre. There hasn't been an interesting vampire film like this since "The Hunger." Give it a 9.

    Vampires

    I watched the movie and though it might have been a little confusing, some of the stunts and fight sequences were awesome, and just the subtle use of contacts and fangs for the vampires went over really well, because asians already have the exotic look down, with the contacts it just made them appear more appealing and alluring, my hats off though to COLIN, because he was one definite hottie. I loved him in this film and hope to see him do more, ROCK ON! Patrick Bachau is in this film and I can't really see him as anyone other than Sydney from THE PRETENDER, Stephanie was great in the film, but we really could have done with Meredith Monroe, I thought she went insane anyway, she just came off as this whiny chick, who chose to go with COLIN's character to Asia, did she really think they were just gonna look at silky fabrics and lighted signs. COME ON!!

      When Amanda is bitten in the alleyway you can see the end of the tube where the fake blood is pumped from and the line of blood from it as the Vampire pulls back, it is then visible again when he goes to take another bite.
