Trama e commenti: cinema.castlerock.it - splattercontainer.com - findit.it - horror.it - mymovies.it: «Sadie Blake è una reporter che un giorno si sveglia misteriosamente in un obitorio scoprendo di essere diventata una vampira a causa di uno sfortunato incontro con una setta che venera i non-morti. La giovane però non ha nessuna voglia di unirsi al branco, ma allo stesso tempo non può fare nulla per cambiare la sua condizione. La scelta è quella di vendicarsi distruggendo i membri della setta, nell’arco di sole 48 ore, grazie anche all’aiuto di un tormentato detective della polizia la cui figlia fa parte del gruppo da distruggere».

Sadie Blake (Lucy Liu) is a journalist who becomes acquainted with a group of beautiful but doomstruck partiers while following a story, led by the charismatic Bishop (James D'Arcy). While Sadie is taken with Bishop's good looks and sinister charm, she senses there's something dangerous about him, but it's not until she wakes up in the city morgue that she learns his secret -- Bishop is a vampire, and Sadie has joined his underlings as one of the undead. Angry and betrayed, Sadie is determined to stop Bishop and his compatriots, and she prowls the city with bow and arrow, ready to stake them from a distance when she spies them. Sadie finds an unlikely ally in her crusade in Detective Rawlins (Michael Chiklis), a police investigator whose daughter was transformed into a night creature by Bishop. However, Sadie is finding it increasingly difficult to resist her growing thirst for the blood of the living, becoming the sort of being she has grown to hate...» (Mark Deming).
