Blood The Last Vampire film is a live action adaptation of a Japanese anime film produced back in 2000 with the same title.
The story is set around and American Air Base located in Japan, during the Vietnam War.
Its main character is a Japanese girl named Saya, who relentlessly hunts blood sucking Oni(Oni: in japanese is translated as demon in english).
Saya is a 400-year-old half breed who hunts other demons. Raised by her father's retainer a man named Kato, she works loosely with an organization known as "The Council" while seeking out Onigen, the highest oldest and strongest of all the beasts.
Seeking clues about Onigen, Saya transfers to a school near the Yokota Air Base.
Normally a loner, Saya forms a friendship with a young girl named Alice (Allison Miller), whom she rescues from some vampires.
This live action production is very impressive adaptation and includes spectacular battles involving katana's and fights with superhatural beings.
The picture is an improvement in comparison to the original anime. The plot is slightly altered in comparison however overall I find the production exceeding the original anime.
Most importantly the Japanese cast are really japanese looking and not caucasians something that has been a real annoyance on other Japanese titles that have been Hollywoodized (eg. dead or alive or Dragonballz)

This is a exceptionally cool movie. Its unusual having a Japanese lady as the lead since everything in english with superb special effects, stunts and lots more than mere vampires to fight. Its fast from start to finish with more blood than most films but in a constructive manner. This mix of special Japanese martial arts with western type vampire films is incredibly successful. Great acting throughout. Puts most vamire films to shame.Loved it.

Well, what we have here is a film featuring a beautiful Japanese girl-vampire, of the good kind mind you, dressed in school uniform, toting a sharp Katana sword, able to perform breathtaking acrobatics, has a mysterious past and is hell-bent on a mission of vengeance. Dude, what more do you want? An Academy Award? Well, then this film is not for you.
Actually there was one thing that irked me, and that was the representation of the demons, flying as dragons. That did not come off well. But then I have never seen the Manga version of this film and cannot say if it's a good adaptation in that respect.

Not Even a Good B-Movie
Terrible dialogue and awful special effects that belong to the early 90's. It could have been a good film - the cast is ok including the excellent Koyuki (The Last Samurai... Read more
