starkats I had watched this movie years ago and for some reason I taped it. I watched it again recently and wondered why I taped it. I do love vampires but there are guidelines for vampires such as not walking around in daylight. These guys (and girl) do that.The main good vampire is Jonathan Hancock (I'm thinking Harker) and the villain vampire is Vladimir (I'm thinking Dracula) and they look and talk totally different. Vladimir has his Dracula accent (sort of). Anyway near the end of the movie you find out they are brothers. Brothers!! I didn't know Dracula had a brother!! Wow!! You find that out before Jonathan kills Vladimir. I do like it when Jonathan cries after having to kill his brother. That was touching.My favorite line in the whole movie is "You don't want to live forever, do you?"

angelynx-2 Low-budget production values and some ludicrously over-the-top acting, but there's still a good little vampire flick in here, The idea of an immortal platoon that has been following the course of human war for a century definitely gives it points, as does the showboat performance of Stephen Quadros as hotshot soldier Walker and the understated, authoritative calm of David Parry as the troop's Civil-War-veteran leader, But I especially like the casting of vampire soldiers as a tireless force *against* oppressive evil, the low-key humor, and the mythic air that the film gives "los mejores" as the spooked peasants call the lethal, fast-travelling revenants. A nice little surprise; I'm glad we saw it.

mikhail080 Movie exudes testosterone at every turn, featuring soldiers from different wars in time who may or may not be immortal vampires. Not your typical Gothic vampire fantasy, although fangs are beared. The only woman included in the movie is a beautiful but vicious killer, so the focus is on wartime combat and militaristic posturing and posing. Dozens of extras are machine gunned down, EACH one dying with a loud post-production shout of pain. The mustached actor playing an evil general is so over-the-top you'd think he stepped out of "Airplane -- the Movie."There's much to recommend here, too. The guy who plays a WWII grunt looks like he was transported from a 1942 Warner Brothers war movie. Especially effective is lead performance by stoic David Parry as a soldier from the Civil War. Parry remains calmly understated as the leader of the lost platoon, and demonstrates how intelligent acting and good looks can make movies like this endurable, and even entertaining.

Phroggy The idea of immortal vampire soldiers is fascinating, and the mystery is quite well-kept for a while ; but once the idea is exposed, there's nothing left. A bit better than Prior's usual fare, this one keeps the militarism and racism ideology rampant in his "works" - it seems normal that American soldiers would feed on poor South Americans.
