Blood: The Last Vampire
6/10 Based on Anime that I've not seen before though will probably make the effort now, this live action film focuses around half-demon Saya. The plot isn't all that bad, though to try and appeal to a larger market they've added the stereotypical late teens US Army General's daughter, who provides very little real substance to the film other than a convienient hook for plot points. What is absolutely dire is the CGI. Its low budget and it really, really shows. I swear even Sci-Fi / SyFy originals (like Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus) have better quality CGI than this. It really, really lets the film down which is a shame because the fight sequences would seem so much better if it wasn't for it, but every blood spurt, every sweep of a sword betrays how little they spent on it. If you can excuse CGI that makes Blade 2 look like the pinnacle of CGI quality, then you'll enjoy it (like I have mostly)
