Bloodsucking By Numbers
Let's look at the facts here.
Straight-to-video. Lower budget. Different director. Cast of nobodies. James Woods: no. Jon Bon Jovi: yes.
You're probably not expecting much. Frankly, it's just as well.
Despite some moody establishing shots, one or two genuinely classy action moments and the odd tenuous attempt to link this film to its predecessor, the whole thing is hamstrung by a total lack of ambition, dismal script and some of the worst acting I've seen in years. It's a poor man's retread of the original on a far more modest scale, and in sequel terms about as necessary as Highlander II.
And... you know... Jon Bon Jovi. What were they thinking? At least his character was called 'Derek'.
