After watching this movie I must conclude that all good reviews came from cast and crew along with people who watch movies just because they aren't mainstream no matter how terrible. All you have to do is see the writers' other credits which include Bloodrayne and Alone in the Dark to know what you're in for.
Here's how I imagine the brainstorming went.
"Hey, we both like the role playing game Vampire the Masquerade, so lets make a Vampire movie. And we'll have it start towards the end and jump all over the timeline" "Sounds good, but why is it going to jump timelines?" "Cuz I like Quentin Tarantino and he does it all the time" "Cool. Lets make the Vampire Hunter a girl cuz I like girls. And one of the Vampires used to be her lover and was turned." "How come?" "It will fill up an extra 2 minutes. Oh and the end will be like the end of the Usual Suspects except you know, boring." "Awesome, lets do it!" I'd rather sit through Doom again. Good lord this movie sucked.
