Le fils des ténèbres

Two things I like, Micheal Praed and vampire flicks but when I saw this movie, I found out that the two just did not mix well together. Micheal Praed is one person that I'm used to seeing in his older more prominent role as Robin Hood and when I see him in this film as a vampire, his character seemed more like a sympathetic character than a character of mystery and that sense of allurement that most vampires seem to possess. He had a little mystery in the movie but I just couldn't see him playing this role as a kind, caring loving vampire. And the British accent didn't help either. I was also lost in the explanation of the movie when all of the sudden the victims brother knows the vampire and what he's all about and begins to tell this tale to his sister that I just couldn't see fit in this movie. This is not the worst of vampire flicks but it's not the best.

It's a vampire B-flick, not much more. But Michael Praed is so hot in this movie! The perfect vampire :) He's actually the only thing that makes this movie worth a watch.

In a small town, Nina (Rosalind Allen), her adopted baby son Tyler and her Danny (Jay Underwood) live in a Bed & Breakfast of their own. Nina's husband left her since Tyler cried all the time driving him crazy. Meanwhile in the town there are several cases of coyote attack with many casualties. When Nina takes Tyler to the hospital, Dr. Max Schreck (Michael Praed) treats him, and Tyler stops crying. Nina also meets Max's impertinent brother Tom (Steve Bond). Soon Max invites Nina to have dinner with him. Meanwhile, Danny meets Cellia (Amanda Wyss) and changes his behavior towards Nina. When the stranger Martin (Scott Jacoby) visits Nina, he tries to explain that vampires moved to the town, but Nina believes he is lunatic. But soon she learns the truth about Tyler and his family.

"Son of Darkness: To Die for II" is an underrated vampire B-movie, with a good storyline. The screenplay is also good, and the conclusion is reasonable. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "O Destino de Tyler" ("The Destiny of Tyler")

Now, when we rented this film, we thought it would be a cheesy vampire flick. Well, it wasn't cheesy at all. It was just plain boring. I have no intentions of seeing the first one now. This movie was horrible. I give it credit for being shot well, but the plot was boring. The acting wasn't all that bad. It just makes me wonder why someone would want to make such a boring movie.

This movie has been one of my favorite vampire movies since 1991. It's got hot vampires, twists and a love story that's doomed, of course, what more could you want from a vampire flick??? A vampire with a heart that holds humanity dear to his heart, what woman wouldn't want this vampire??? ENJOY!!!!
