Essentially, it is set in a somewhat totalitarian future, where the vampires have just revealed themselves to the humans who outnumber them and greatly fear them. Two cops, one human and one a vampire, must stop a killer who threatens to disrupt a peace process between the two "breeds".
I liked this movie, even though I got tired of the silly flying effects, the accents and the artsy looking direction. Paul does a wonderful job of making his eyes look old, and Woodbine swears too much, but the ideas here are fun. I never had much sympathy for vampires until this movie. However, and this may be a small spoiler, see if you can catch when the Asian vampire says something she shouldn't know and no one seems to blink. Also, the references to vampire lore are fun. I think more could have been done to flesh out the world they live in, and this would make a very interesting TV series if done properly. However, the sets, makeup and such were excellent. I recommend this to anyone who likes vampires, as it may give you some new ideas about them.
