Nightbreakers - Vampire Nation

Sucky (pardon the pun) vampire movie. An Eastern European RIP off of "True Blood" but more of a C movie rather than B. All the contrived and expected stereotypes, special effects, cleavage and scenes. Can't help but be reminded of the Sharkado series except with blood suckers.

With all of the vampire movies out there it's of course hard to stand out or do anything new. But that's not even the problem with this movie. It does in fact has a pretty original and promising main premise but it just doesn't know how to handle it and suffers greatly from an extremely poor script.

Sort of funny how it has become a sort of a trend to have movies and series in which vampires and humans are now living alongside each other. It's an interesting evolution for the genre but perhaps it has run its course already. As this movie also demonstrates, there is only so much you can do with this premise.

And this movie isn't really doing anything all that interesting with it anyway. The way the story is getting told makes it actually hard to understand what is going on at times. Not that it has a complicated script but the overall movie doesn't really has a good flow to it, making the story come across as messy and uninteresting at times. I still don't really know were the story was trying to take the movie, or why vampires and humans had to team up in this.

All of the story developments in this movie just didn't ever made enough sense to me. It seems as if stuff just happens and you are simply supposed to just go along with it. The movie isn't focusing enough on telling one good and clear main story, making this movie mostly unpleasant to watch.

It just doesn't really offer enough entertainment either. There is plenty of action but it's just hard to ever feel involved or taken by any of it. You'll have a hard time caring about this movie, or any of its characters. All of the emotions fall incredibly flat because of that and it just doesn't ever makes this a fun or thrilling or tense movie to watch.

There just is no good reason why you should ever watch this movie!

Of course it has bad effects and makeup; but for Syfy this was actually a pretty good movie with a decent plot and characters. I loved watching the interaction between the humans and vampires and after years of True Blood it's nice to see humans who aren't weak and can take care of themselves. The romances were pretty shallow and forced but I could tolerate it. I recommend watching the movie just don't go in with high expectations.

Quote "A little trivia...Romania once was known as Transylvania". Guess again ! ROmania is more than Transylvania, Moldavia and Wallachia . And YES this is really a SF movie...see Wikipedia.

Vampires are mythological or folkloric beings who subsist by feeding on the life essence (generally in the form of blood) of living creatures, regardless of whether they are undead or a living person/being.Although vampiric entities have been recorded in many cultures, and may go back to "prehistoric times", the term vampire was not popularized until the early 18th century, after an influx of vampire superstition into Western Europe from areas where vampire legends were frequent, such as the Balkans and Eastern Europe,[8] although local variants were also known by different names, such as vrykolakas in Greece and strigoi in Romania. This increased level of vampire superstition in Europe led to mass hysteria and in some cases resulted in corpses actually being staked and people being accused of vampirism.

For those of you thinking about watching this movie, I should inform you that almost every scene and every plot element in this movie is "borrowed" from other movies/TV shows, and brutally mutilated. This state of incompetence is coupled with casting every part with actors who have no acting talent, needless posturing and muscle-flexing in literally EVERY scene, and a cheap cop-drama feel, where nothing and nobody matters as long as the token main characters look cool. I use the term "cool" loosely. A more appropriate term would be "Twilight-challenged Power Rangers".

Don't get me wrong, I quite enjoy True Blood (oh, how we laugh at those zany human supremacists), Underworld Evolution, Daybreakers, and to a lesser extent, Priest and District 9, but I have a major bone to pick when their plots are so blatantly stolen, mushed up into one, and royally screwed over from every angle.
