A woman who joins the undead against her will seeks vengeance against the ghouls who transformed her in this thriller. Sadie Blake (Lucy Liu) is a journalist who becomes acquainted with a group of beautiful but doomstruck partiers while following a story, led by the charismatic Bishop (James D'Arcy).

Angry and betrayed, Sadie is determined to stop Bishop and his compatriots, and she prowls the city with bow and arrow, ready to stake them from a distance when she spies them. Sadie finds an unlikely ally in her crusade in Detective Rawlins (Michael Chiklis), a police investigator whose daughter was transformed into a night creature by Bishop. However, Sadie is finding it increasingly difficult to resist her growing thirst for the blood of the living, becoming the sort of being she has grown to hate. Also featuring Carla Gugino, Robert Forster, and Nick Lachey, Rise: Blood Hunter received its world premiere with a special midnight screening at the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    The reviews here are correct, very slow boring movie, after an hour of the film going nowhere and Im bored to tears, the FF button came in handy. This film not recommended.

    First off, if it wasn't for the hot naked chicks I would have stop watching 1/2 hour into it. This is absolutely one of the worst movies I've seen by a major star. The writer should be shot. The dialogue is horrible! Surprisely, I found the co-stars were decent and at times better than Lucy's acting. Lucy was reading off a script or something. The story was not coherent at all. I lost count how many times she died and came back. Felt like a long and boring B rated movie.

    Yes   |   No
