I saw this advertised recently and decided to check it out based on the actors and Mel Gibson who I like. So I will say right away that my expectation was that this would be more serious and without a comedy aspect but to my surprise it had a not so serious feel to it, the story is pretty basic so there's no having to focus really closely in case something is missed. The entire film is shot in basically one area there are some twists for sure and definitely action sequences also really enjoyed the ending which a lot of films get wrong but they nailed that the acting was good especially from Wahlberg and it was nice to see Grace having remembered him from that 70s show, all in all I'd give this a 5.5 which is funny considering that was the imdb score lol not bad but far from great.

Its crazy that it took decades for this latest installment to finally be released and even crazier that many of the cast from the 90's films were in this, I thought this was gonna be a continuation of the previous entries but instead this is a prequel which I think they(Full Moon) wanted to explain the origins of Radu probably from the beginning of the series. The story is very well presented and there was much more to work with in terms of CGI and special effects than in the previous films which made for more dramatic scenes and the story is easy to follow along with the pacing as well, I would really like to see another installment in the series to follow up on the events of Blood storm because this wouldn't make sense as the final film in the series but have no problem with this either.

Really recommend this especially if you're a fan of the 90's films for the back story to how Radu became what he is and this also explains the spin off of Vampire Journals as well, it was well done and worth the watch for sure.
