Present day finds Lilith hanging out in Goth clubs and earning a living as a contract killer. The latest string of jobs has had a similar ring linking them to the Illuminati (a secret society). When they kidnap her boss Lilith wages war on the Illuminati and finds a familiar face from the past in charge.
When reviewing a movie like this I look for two things; one is it a good movie if not then two if it is a funny bad movie. I didn’t find this film to be either, it was just bad. They make some standard mistakes that are made in vampire films; first the whole cast is outfitted by Hot Topic (latex, corsets, fur hats just because you are a vampire does not mean you dress that way), next they attempt to thrown in some discussions about Dracula and shape-shifting (in other words trying to obviously show they know vampires), third they make Lilith very sexual (seriously I think she screws everything that moves in this movie), fourth they make sure to have nude and almost soft-core porn scenes, and then fifth they throw in the ever present lesbian card (if not done right which this is not it looks like a desperate ploy to get a guy audience). If all that wasn’t enough you have to suffer through slow-mo hair flicking scenes as Lilith “James Bonds” her way into places to make a kill. It looks as bad as children pretending to be cops, you know the very stiff arms holding the gun out, the constant turns to point it places. The blood is horribly fake, the plot is weak, and the dialog trash. They were obviously trying way too hard to make this a cult film; but there were two major flaws with this, one there was a budget so there wasn’t enough cheesy things to laugh at, and two they took themselves too seriously. There are a few twists at the end; but if you make it that long I doubt you will care too much what they are. I wouldn’t even waste the money to buy this for a Halloween movie marathon; you will regret it.
