Product Description

Product Description

In a post-apocalyptic world, a savage war between man and vampire raged for centuries. A warrior priest (Paul Bettany) receives word of fresh attacks but now it`s personal, his niece has been kidnapped by a new hive of merciless vampires. To save her, he must break his vow of peace and hunt down the hive before it's too late. Based on the acclaimed graphic novel and packed with bloodthirsty action, this full throttle crusade takes you on the hunt for a deadly new breed of killer.

From Amazon.co.uk

What's harder to kill than a vampire? The thriving vampire movie genre, which reappears here in the form of Priest, an entertaining mash-up of sci-fi, horror, and various westerns adapted from a graphic novel by Min-Woo Hyung and starring Paul Bettany (The Da Vinci Code, Creation, Iron Man, etc.) in the title role. In Hyung's world (as depicted by screenwriter Cory Goodman and director Scott Charles Stewart), the future is a dystopian nightmare still reeling from centuries of conflict between humans and vast armies of slimy, humanoid vampires; having been saved (or so we're told) by fierce and noble warrior priests, people now live in a great, grim city that makes the Los Angeles depicted in Bladerunner look like a vacation resort, while the remaining vampires have been consigned to "reservations" in the desert. A few hardy souls subsist out in the barren wilderness as well, and the fun starts when a gang of vamps attacks one family, abducting pretty young Lucy (Lily Collins, Phil's daughter) and killing her parents. The girl's sharpshooting boyfriend (Cam Gigandet) seeks out Bettany's retired Priest, who's only too willing to defy the dire warnings of the arrogant clergymen who control the cities, jump on his supercycle, and head out to do battle with a foe that, far from being defeated, has been regrouping and now plans to--gasp!--lay waste to all mankind. A couple of twists involving central characters are eventually revealed, but the best parts are the action sequences in the vampires' enormous "hive," aboard (and on top of) a speeding train, and elsewhere as the Priest and a few of his cross-bearing (on their foreheads, that is) comrades, including action veteran Maggie Q, try to stop the head vampire dude (basically a fanged version of Clint Eastwood's Man with No Name) and his ravenous minions. Considering the range of 21st-century vampire flicks, from the arty Swedish import Let the Right One In to the romantic Twilight series, there's plenty of room for a popcorn chewer like Priest. --Sam Graham

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Priest With No Name
By Call me Al TOP 1000 REVIEWER on 12 Sept. 2015
Format: DVD
Scott Stewart’s unpretentious, visually stunning SF cyberpunk western-vampire movie is a blatantly derivative eighty minutes of entertaining hokum. Set in a post-apocalyptic alternative world where humans live in giant walled cities ruled by a fascist theocracy and vampires live in reservations or hives, Paul Bettany’s vampire warrior comes out of retirement to try and rescue his niece, kidnapped by a band of renegade vampires. The plot is similar to John Ford’s 1950s western classic The Searchers while the Priests (the redundant vampire hunters) are reminiscent of George Lucas’ Jedi knights with their supernatural fighting abilities. The cityscapes are stunningly Blade Runner-esque while the monochrome visuals of the outland plains effectively convey the all-pervading despair of this dystopian world. The vampires are suitably menacing as un-human predators and the searchers are appropriately heroic and deadly, while Karl Urban’s snarling performance as a rogue Priest evokes Lee Van Cleef at his enigmatic spaghetti western best. Entertaining action scenes, stylish cinematography, western soundtrack and straightforward narrative make this movie an unashamedly guilty pleasure.

3.0 out of 5 starsPassable genre mix
By chelios1981 VINE VOICE on 24 May 2015
Format: DVD
Paul Bettany makes a good lead in this sci-fi/Horror Western mash up.

He's a priest set out to recover a missing girl believed to be taken by vampires, not realising he may be facing a new breed of super vampire.

The stories quite straight forward, theres lots of CGI monsters and fights and the now obligatory use of slow motion and bullett time style action but the film lacks depth, is lacking humour or any hint of irony and takes itself rather to seriously.

Still at a short runtime this undemanding film though offering little new to the genre is entertaining and sets the scene for a sequel it possibly may never get due to it's budget and overall box office return.

Worth a watch, repeat viewings perhaps not.

2.0 out of 5 starsA promising, original idea wasted as mercilessly and comprehensively as ravaged desolations of this alternate reality world...
By Maciej TOP 500 REVIEWER on 13 Jan. 2014
Format: DVD
I was curious about this film and I really wanted to like it - but it proved to be simply impossible... Below, more of my impressions, with some limited SPOILERS.

This film was based on a very original South Korean comic and therefore it was clear, that visual aspects would have to be the main asset - but it never means that one has to sacrify completly the scenario and especially the dialogs... Here, very sadly, it was exactly what happened and therefore if visually this film has many merits, the scenario, the dialogs and character development are beneath everything...

So, to get the story out of the way. In an alternate reality humans and vampires always shared the world and of course always were at war, as the latter considered the former mostly as source of food and occasionally also slave material. In this reality vampires are not undead monsters - they are living creatures, not exactly humanoid (they rather look like bears without fur and with gray skin) and they are devoided of eyes but clearly have some other senses unknown to man. They live in hives like termites and possess a collective mind, with the secretive Queens of the Hive being the supreme authority (albeit few people ever saw one and lived to describe it).

The vampires from this film are killed by sunlight, feed on human blood and with their bites are able to enslave people (those thralls are called Familiars) - but otherwise they are quite obviously very different from "classical" vampires. They do not fear crosses or holy water - on another hand they are vulnerable to regular weapons, but it is difficult to hit them because of their speed and they are also so powerfully build, that it takes a lot of effort to efficiently destroy one...Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsThe combat scenes are amazing and the history to the origins of the story ...
By Simon Stewart on 30 Aug. 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
A superb film with unexpected twists. Watch as Vampire Hunters go after Vampires, even when ordered not to. The combat scenes are amazing and the history to the origins of the story are certainly different.

4.0 out of 5 starsAn effective fusion of ideas
By Jules TOP 1000 REVIEWER on 18 May 2012
Format: DVD
With all the poor reviews on Amazon for this film, i decided to avoid it. However, having just seen it for myself recently, i have to say i found it most enjoyable for an evenings viewing. It takes a lot of inspiration from a wide variety of films across various genres, with the likes of Judge Dredd, Mad Max, Alien, Blade Runner, Blade & Underworld , all with a western post-apocalyptic twist.

Paul Bettany (Master and Commander) leads the film as one of many Priests, but they are not like the Priests we know ourselves. These Priests are elite warriors, Ninja's in robes, who were chosen at young ages to be trained & fight the vampire horde. Set many years after this war, where the World has been turned into a post-apocalyptic existance. The vampires were defeated & locked away in prisons, with the remaning humans living in large prison like Cities (influenced from Judge Dredd) and protected by the Church, who act like the leaders of today, with the heirachy of the church determining rank. Others live in the wasteland, in towns of their own & governed in a wild west style with sheriffs.

Priest (Bettany) finds out his relation who lives in the wastelands, has been kidnapped by a mysterious group lead by a Clint Eastwood-esque clad villian (Karl Urban - Doom). Bound to his rank, Priest's request to find her is denied, but he defies his superior Monsignor Orelas (Christopher Plummer -...Read more ›
