Unexciting, incoherent, lamely acted, and carelessly written.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
Suffers from abusive close-ups, repetitive fight sequences and uninspired demon design.
Entertainment Weekly by Owen Gleiberman
Gory but dramatically inert vampire schlocker.
San Francisco Chronicle by Peter Hartlaub
If only the projectionist could be persuaded to play the first 10 minutes over and over for two hours, this might be a satisfying movie. Unfortunately, the middle and the end feature a weak lead character, choppy fight choreography, humorless dialogue and computer-generated effects that look as if they came from the "Ghostbusters II" era.
Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert
This isn't a great movie. But it's sincere as an entertainment, it looks good, it's atmospheric, and I will perk up the next time I hear Gianna is in a picture.
Every scrap of footage here has been done better somewhere else.
The finale of this tedious piece of Asian-ish action-schlock based on a popular anime series implies an intention to make more. One was plenty for me.
