Dark Angels 2 - Bloodline

Apparently there's quite the vampire craze going around nowadays, so much so that for todays review I picked "Dark Angels 2." The plot looked interesting for a vamp flick and I've a thing for guys with pale skin, which I'm hoping "Dark Angels 2%u2033 will be sure to pack in spades though I'll take fair skinned brunettes with delicate hints of pink in all the right places, like their pulse points.

The opening credits are pretty awesome, gritty and well done they could be setting the scene for a blockbuster or a b-level horror flick but they definitely don't scream 'porn,' instead I get the feeling that I should be settling in with a big bowl of popcorn. Of course the credits open right up on nameless sexy times in a questionably dirty environment. It might just be me, but when I see a trash filled crack house and moldy mattress, the last thing I want to do is get naked and roll my ladybits around on it - color me not horny. The scene with Tommy Gunn in the diner kitchen - much hotter - still makes part of me go 'ew gross' industrial kitchen, but hey at least they kind of cleaned it first.

Sketchy sex scene aside, the movie was actually shot better than the worst mainstream vampire movie I saw. That one's budget was so low they actually had to use the 'hold the stake under the arm and pretend it pierced something vital' trick. "Dark Angels 2%u2033 was more limited by the performers acting than either the script or the cinematography. There is one thing not going in its favor, there was a huge discrepancy in volume, I found myself turning the sound all the way up for plot points and all the way down during sex scenes to keep from blasting my eardrums with the music, I could barely hear the girls over all that noise at all, especially after I lowered the volume.
