Rise (2007) 5/10

Starring : Lucy Liu, Michael Chiklis, James D’Arcy, Carla Gugino, Elden Henson, Mako
Director : Sebastian Guitierrez
Running Time : 98 mins

Sadie Blake (Liu) is a reporter who unwittingly finds herself living in the world of the undead when she is turned into a blood sucker by a group of evil vampires. Once she wakes up in the morgue, she decides to exact her revenge against those who made her into a monster with the help of a cop (Chiklis) whose daughter has been kidnapped by the vampire gang.

This was pretty bad, even for a vampire movie. The plot line was shoddy and seemed very rushed, with nothing of any redeeming quality throughout. Basically this was a skin flick, with lots of gratuitous nudity and over the top bloody violence, and would really only appeal to the sort of people who like mindless movies filled with porn masked as action horror.
