Still pining for the love of his life, a vampire tries to protect her from the evil vampire king holding her captive amongst his usual flock of vampires to try to ensure she remains his next bride, forcing him into a battle against the powerful vampire and his coven to free her.
This was a decent enough if an overall flawed effort in the franchise. The biggest factor with this one is the main setup that brings together the various participants in the story. Utilizing their romantic encounters as a basis for trying to hang around her to catch the main vampire that he's looking to stop, the society that we see at play with the evil vampires once they hold it captive under his whims and the sidestories involving the other relationships at play as a setup for the competition to play out between the two of them. While lacking in the way of traditional combat sequences or full-on battles, there are still enough scenes of them hunting their victims or snapping and unleashing plenty of bloodshed along the way that keeps this one interesting enough. This one does have several detrimental factors to it. The main issue which manages to cause it to come undone is by the wholly lacking pace on display that makes everything feel like a melodramatic Gothic romance than a flat-out genre effort. With the only genre qualities coming from the concept of vampirism that everyone seems to be, there's not much here that makes it feel like a genre effort with the constant lustful notions towards the performer as well as the duplicitous means through which they keep trying to woo her. The back-and-forth banter amounts more to intense brooding which plays into the Gothic overtones of the whole thing while the incessant narration that tries to impart a sense of understanding into the mission just ends up being aggravating since it adds nothing new, all of which lower this one.
Rated R: Nudity, Graphic Violence, Language, and Sex Scenes.
