Hell, I can't even find a picture for this movie, mainly 'cause it's so pathetic.
I'll be the first to say it--I love martial arts movies, especially the cheesy ones. But this is just... BAD. While I can take wirework with a smile, and I love stuff like heroes re-attaching limbs with "Regenerative Chi" or other wonderful BS like that, Vampire Hunters just never entertains.
It strives to be a kung-fu version of John Carpenter's Vampires, but never quite hits the mark--I was laughing a hell of a lot more than anything else, not to mention how my friend and I were cracking jokes throughout the entire thing, MST-style.
If you've got a good hour and a half you wanna waste, then by all means, rent it. Otherwise, you can take this movie outside the store, run it over with your car, and you'll have a LOT more fun.
Kung Pow was intentionally funny. This isn't.
On a positive note, it did have one cool action sequence--the rest were just more of the same that we've seen a hundred times over. I kid you not, I have seen some of these swordfights before, move-for-move. 3.5/10
