Things are a bit different in “Blood: The Last Vampire,” adapted from a gorgeously racy, plot-thin anime. It’s a fast-moving, gory flick with plenty of vampires and swords, but it also suffers from a cluttered storyline (what’s the point of the Elder again? ) and a predictable state twist at the extinguish. Jeon Ji-hyun makes a incandescent dhampiric anti-heroine, though.
As the movie opens, we gawk a mysterious young girl, Saya (Jun), on a enlighten. When the lights go out, she savagely attacks a man at the other kill of the swear with a sword. Turns out he’s a “bloodsucker.”

Half-vampire Saya works for the mysterious Council, and a helpful man-in-black named Michael — but only until they gather the vampire overlord Onigen. When people open dying on an American army contaminated, she has to go undercover at the outrageous high school. Unfortunately the general’s daughter Alice (Allison Miller) sees Saya slaughtering a couple of vampires in the school gym, and later wanders into a vampire bar. She’s as shining as a smashed lightbulb.
And some of the people working for the Council are obvious to slay anyone who interferes in their work — including Alice’s father, General McKee. Alice ends up on a desperate road prance with Saya, trying to dodge the malevolent vampires that are tracking her fresh buddy. But Onigen is tracking them now, and it’s becoming very personal. Cue a Stout Screech of tale clicheness about Onigen and Saya.
“Blood: The Last Vampire” is changed in many ways from the novel OAV, such as Saya’s background and her being a dhampir. The whole second half is basically invented by writer Chris Chow — complete with a rosy-eyed glimpse at Saya’s youth — while preserving the bleak, dimly-lit sight that the anime had.
Unfortunately, the first half is messy — there are too many characters (the Elder doesn’t DO anything!) and spot elements (Vietnam war criticism from a VAMPIRE? ) that feel randomly inserted. Fortunately director Chris Nahon chops away all the deadwood in the latter half of the movie, and gives the visuals a surreal beauty — bleak rainy streets, misty forests, and a wuxia-style climax chunky of fire, water, blood and floating veils.
While the first action scene almost gave me a seizure (slow-mo! Posthaste! Slow-mo! Posthaste!), the splattery fight scenes become cooler later on: Saya smashing through buildings, slicing enemies apart, and dueling with a flying vampire on a rickety bridge. And the vampires are wonderfully scandalous — bat-winged, fanged, slimy-skinned monstrosities who splatter sad blobby blood. Also, two words: Vampire. NINJAS.
Jeon Ji-hyun/Gianna Jun is absolutely aesthetic in this role — she jumps, kicks, spins, slashes, and infuses her character with a sense of hollow loneliness that nothing can heal. And she plays a very different Saya in the flashbacks from four hundred years ago, when her innocence was shattered by her acquire vampiric nature. Miller does a decent performance as the whiny Alison, and the gorgeous Koyuki does a gorgeous satisfactory job as the malevolent Onigen.
“Blood: The Last Vampire” suffers from a traditional first half, but it tightens up into a mighty more fine and memorable movie in the second. If nothing else, scrutinize it for Jeon Ji-hyun.
When the lively version of this film first came out on DVD in 2002, I bought it moral away. The animation at the time was improbable and comely compared to other anime released around the same time. The only gripe I had about it was that it was short, left us with a Grand cliffhanger at the ruin and many questions unanswered. For years I had been waiting for them to form at least a sequel. My prayers were answered with the 50-episode series, Blood+. Instead of continuing the movie, Blood+ was revamped to fit a thicker memoir and location. Needless to say, I was very gratified with it.
So what was going through my mind when I saw a bootleg version of this live-action movie? “Nah, dont ask too great but unprejudiced seek it since you have nothing better to do today”. I’m an anime lover and infatuated with the Japanese culture as a whole, but 95% of their action movies have disappointed me, so I didnt interrogate grand to commence with. As soon as I popped this in and saw the first few minutes, I concept “Wow, when was this made? Early 90′s? “. As the movie went along, I noticed a number of scenes from the spicy version were integrated into the movie. I was very impressed that they did that on top of expanding on the fable and action.
The action was absolutely enormous, but you have to either be pleased the anime versions or “kung-fu” movies to originate with. If you’re not into this genre, don’t bother wasting your time looking for a deep, twisting region. This is purely entertainment. Especially now that the Twilight series has taken the world by storm(at least in America), you wont net any Vampire/Horror movie with an “novel” residence anymore. I’m also a fan of terror movies, but the genre has become dreary.
Bottom line: Gaze this movie if you have somewhat interest in ANIME or KUNG-FU type films. If not, don’t demolish your time.
