Priest **

Scott Charles Stewart directed this Horror/Thriller. Watch Preview Cast: Paul Bettany, Karl Urban, Cam Gigandet, Maggie Q, Lily Collins, Steven Moyer, Brad Dourif, Christopher Plummer. Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, disturbing images and brief strong language. Running time is one hour and twenty-seven minutes.

In this western-fused post-apocalyptic thriller set in an alternate world ravaged by centuries of war between man and vampires, a priest (Paul Bettany) disobeys church law to track down the vampires who kidnapped his niece.

In this film, which looks something like Bladerunner with a plot like The Searchers there really are no good times. Either you're a human living in a walled city and ruled by a repressive church or living in the outlands (the readioactive result of nuclear war) without the benefit of much civilization, or you're a repulsive, blind vampire dedicated to the destruction of humanity. That the vampires have figured out a new way to win the war and there are few who can stop them is the story, but while somewhat interesting, I can't say it's particularly entertaining. I saw the 3D version and wasn't impressed enough to recommend you spend the extra money for it. Sci-fi/ horror fans will be the only audience and if there are enough of them it's obvious a sequel will be forthcoming. 2D Theatres/Times. 3D Theatres/Times.
