| Rise: Blood Hunter Produced by Ghost House Pictures (The Grudge 2, 30 Days of Night), the film was originally simply titled Rise, and opened theatrically to only a few select cities back in June and pretty much fell off the map until news broke of its DVD release in October. I saw this film with low-expectations, like I try to do with any movie I see now-a-days, to insure that I don't set myself up for a huge letdown, and once again it worked in my favor, as I found this to be a fairly entertaining vampire effort. The premise is a mix of The Crow with fangless vampires -- a journalist named "Sadie" (Lucy Lui) discovers that a young goth girl she briefly covered in a recent article has been found dead and a hidden message she left behind may lead to her killer's whereabouts. What she discovers is a secret underground group of vampires, who feed on unsuspecting women. Sadie becomes their latest victim, but instead of being left for dead, is turned into one of them. After she awakens in the morgue, she must come to terms with her new self and is enlisted by a mysterious Spanish man, who gives her the means and know-how on how to find and destroy the vampires that turned her.

Director tried add something new to the vamp genre but failed to give us something exciting.
a VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY BORING MOVIE! Lucy Liu. a reporter who gets kidnapped by a cult of vampires. Ms. Lucy is turned. she is freed though after. wakes up in a morgue. decides to have revenge! similar to the pilot episode of Blade: the Series. specifically, the character of Krista Starr. back to RISE: Ms. Liu then becomes a vampire-vigilante. hunting & killing one-by-one the vamps. in the end, she wins. LUCY LIU! Rumors Say That A Sequel Is Already Planned. But SERIOUSLY! Other Than This Stupid Story, Rise: Blood Hunter Did Not Offered Anything Good! IT WAS GARBAGE! ARE YOU JOKING?
Vampires without fangs are not vampires. Innocent Blood kept much of the genre intact, but I did not much care for it without the fangs. You gotta keep the fangs. Fangs. THE FANGS! fangs...!
I had heard "middle of the fence" things about this movie. So I was suprised when I found I really enjoyed this flick. Sort of original take on the vampire. Fright was right when he said its basically a revenge flick. But its an enjoyable one. I liked how the vampires were only slightly more powerful than humans. I would like to see a sequal to this, but I doubt it'll happen now.
This is the first vampire movie without jaws typical of this kind of movies. Great story and cool performance of Lucy. Recommendable.
I saw an advanced copy of this movie, I thought it was Awesome lots of blood and LUCY LIU is great actress and beautiful. you can't go wrong with this
