Following reports of movement in the Mexican desert, a group of hunters teams up with a woman able to sense their presence to track down a vampire clan attempting to acquire a sacred relic and kill them before they are able to walk in the daylight.
As it stands it's a really good film that has a lot to really like. Among the positive points here is the continuation of the plot point of its predecessor in some absolutely fun hunting scenes throughout here that manage to employ a lot of great hunting tools and tactics. Managing to employ the same winching mechanism and pulley system as before to drag them out into the sunlight which again sets them ablaze in really explosive reactions as before, a series of extremely creative and unique hand-held weaponry designed to deliver stakes into their bodies and sharpened poles, along with the usual amount of sword-play and knives that are all featured here which makes for some solid continuity. As well, the continuity here by incorporating the storyline about the lone member with a connection with the lead vampire which causes a great deal of fun by not only allowing for more action in this by featuring more chances at dismembering victims and blood-drinking but also managing to delve into storyline points to help spell out the plot to this one here by giving away clues and actual fates to what was only hinted at otherwise during the current scene. Done in stylish flash images, these are an important part of the film as while at clearing up the rather novel idea here at furthering what was hinted at before with the need for the cross and the blood ritual that allows them to survive in the sunlight which is all nicely woven together here into a pretty good story. As well, there's also a ton of really enjoyable action scenes throughout here, from the opening ambush in the alley, the diner attack where she rips apart everyone with exceptionally quick speed and a great bloodbath sequence where she attacks a church-yard in spectacular fashion while leaving the graphic mess for the group to stumble upon later. There's even a vicious rampage in a small town in broad daylight and a really impressive finale where they hunt the creature several times in the creepy underground crypt providing a series of impressive action here in such tight quarters and being such a fantastic, multi- tiered setting for a vampire hunt as their weapons and tactics come into play here for an overall great time. Along with the fine blood and gore here in the great kills along the way, there's not a whole lot really wrong here, but there's some minor flaws here. One of the biggest issues here is the clumsy final half, which is quite goofy in structure here with the first attack falling short only to fall back to the village for the extended transfusion sequence then to further inject him in another extended sequence before launching the final attack, and as a whole this just seems overlong and needless, especially going through several days to do this without an attack which is quite off. As well, there's also the fact that the female vampire here doesn't really come across as a really intimidating figurehead as she doesn't really do much else others have done and just comes off as threatening solely for what she is. Otherwise this one has a lot more to like overall.
