Plot

When protagonist Derek Washington (Hall) was just a child, he witnessed his father's murder. Because of this, he became very afraid of blood. However, when a sting operation to find a counterfeiter named Gustoff Slovak (Mel Novak) goes wrong, Derek is forced to face his fear: blood. The operation backfires, resulting in a massacre that leaves Derek's team wiped out. Derek reaches the shocking conclusion that Slovak is actually a vampire, and joins forces with a weapons expert named Master Kao (Gerald Okamura). Kao is the last in a long line of vampire hunters, and agrees to train Derek in this ancient art of vampire slaying. However, in order to defeat Slovak, Derek must become a vampire assassin.

Legacy

In 2017, the film was featured on a Halloween-themed episode of Red Letter Media's Best of the Worst, together with Hack-O-Lantern and Cathy's Curse. The film was poorly received, with the hosts noting its misleading cover art, low production value, and comparing it unfavorably to the film Blade. The episode concluded with the hosts destroying their copies of the film in a skit parodying a scene from Hack-O-Lantern.[1]

gollark: There are a bunch of useful methods for combining options.
gollark: However, bee.
gollark: Now, arguably you "shouldn't" and that's "awful" and "you don't need to abstract everything".
gollark: ```rust if stack.len() < 2 { eprintln!("DOMAIN ERROR"); } else { let a = stack.pop().unwrap(); let b = stack.pop().unwrap();```I think you could abuse option combinators for this instead, though.
gollark: Apart from the `unwrap`s this seems reasonable.
