In a world ravaged by wars between humans and vampires, a renegade priest fights to rescue his niece from the legions of bloodsuckers who seek to transform the young girl into one of them. A battle-weary veteran of the last vampire war, warrior Priest (Paul Bettany) now resides in a heavily fortified city where the ruling Church is a greater menace than any creature of the night. When a pack of vampires abduct Priest's niece (Lily Collins), the vengeful holy man breaks his vows and promises to save the young innocent from a fate worse than death. He can't do it alone, but with a powerful warrior Priestess (Maggie Q) and his niece's boyfriend, a sharp-shooting sheriff (Cam Gigandet), on his side, Priest may have a fighting chance. Stephen Moyer, Karl Urban, and Brad Dourif co-star.

  1. Negative review
    Sandra Hall, Sydney Morning Herald Bettany is a great actor who does melancholy very well, he also has a sense of mischief. It would be nice to see it shine a bit before it, too, fades to grey. Full review External link
  2. Negative review
    Philippa Hawker, The Age (Australia) Its visual style veers between bleached desert tones and slimy undercover dankness, but the 3D version is undistinguished. Full review External link
  3. Negative review
    David Stratton, At the Movies (Australia) Some scenes on the train have a certain chill, but overall this is likely to short-change genre lovers. Full review External link
  4. Negative review
    Leigh Paatsch, Herald Sun (Australia) At the very least, the film's herky-jerky mood swings will keep viewers on their toes long after they become bored with the main plot. Full review External link

    Don Groves, sbs.com.au Vampires, cowboys and warrior priests: an unholy mess. Full review External link
