Despite unusual interference of his contrarian police captain (Jack McGee), Fox goes deeper into danger, only to have his partner killed, seemingly by the swordsman, known as Domoto (Kiyoshi Nakajo). Now Fox looks to avenge his partner, while Domoto needs to slay the slimy nightclub owner (Victor Rivers) responsible for the deaths of the Yakuza and his reluctant girlfriend (Seiko Matsuda). ~ Buzz McClain, Rovi
Although he has not reached the level of fame enjoyed by such action superstars as Jackie Chan, Jean Claude Van Damme, or Stephen Seagal, Gary Daniels has gained a following in the direct-to-video market. He puts his athletic skills to use once again in Mark Roper's City of Fear. The thin story line involves Steve Roberts (Daniels) attempting to figure out who is responsible for the death of his friend.

A worldly vampire falls for the daughter of a high profile scientist who's currently researching immortality for the Illuminati in this independent horror thriller starring Katherine Hawkes, Daniel Goddard, and Costas Mandylor. Who would have thought that the Illuminati would become the vampire kingdom's main competitor in the quest to exploit and rule all of mankind? After exploiting the population through war, poverty, disease, and drugs, the clandestine organization attempts to gain immortality through science to no avail. Perhaps the solution to their problem lies with Alex, a debonair vampire who has fallen deeply in love with Estelle after meeting the ethereal beauty at the opera. But Alex doesn't want to welcome Estelle into his coven; he'd rather sacrifice his immortality to raise a family with her and take one last shot at living a normal life. Later, after an intense round of negotiations, the Illuminati agrees to find a cure for Alex's vampirism in exchange for the bite of immortality. What happens next, neither side could have seen coming. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
