Vampyre Nation

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!

Hardly surprising that VAMPYRE NATION as it's known in Britain has a very poor reputation on this website . It's never a good sign that a film is known by multiple titles and being a SyFy Chanell production this movie was never going to win too many popularity awards . Some people here have criticised it for its lack of originality and you can see where this opinion is coming being part DAYBREAKERS ( Itself a derivative film ) and DISTRICT 9 minus the biting and witty satire

A lack of originality isn't really the problem with VAMPYRE NATION . Rather than this the film suffers from being a cross-genre film , one of horror and one of police thriller but doing neither source very well . The cops are an uninteresting mix of characters in their late 20s /early 30s who mainly exist to spout uninteresting lines and drive the plot forward . Certainly horror fans will be bitterly disappointed since you could have a plot featuring Interpol investigating drug dealers in Romania and hardly change a scene

Indeed the whole Vampire angle is very much underdeveloped and unexplored which is a shame because I was very intrigued to seeing a society where humans and Vampires find it difficult to coexist with one another . Alas this aspect of the film goes totally unnoticed to the producers

Take off the corny dialogues, the needlessly overacted conversations, the poor CGI and the awfully overdone dialects and you end up with a poor script. The idea behind the film is not bad, albeit nicked from a few different sources. It's not the worst vampire film out there, but it's by far not the best. It's okay for some mindless Friday evening entertainment - unless you're a purist in which case the opening scene will already be enough to drive you to drink. Would I recommend this film? No. Would I watch it again? No. But I watched it until the end so I am proud of myself.

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.

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.
