Just when humans are learning to get around in the universe
they discover that the universe is more crowded than they could have
imagined. It is crowded with a plethora
of vampires. This is the premise behind
the action/horror/sci-fi hybrid that is Bloodsuckers
(aka Vampire Wars: The Battle for the
Universe)(2005). The universe is
overrun with different types of vampires who ravage human settlements on
planets throughout the galaxy. It
takes a special kind of soldier to hunt and kill vampires which is where the
V-SAN (Vampire Sanitation) come in. They
go wherever the vampires are spotted and eradicate them.
On their latest mission, the V-SAN realize that something is
different about the vampire attacks and fear that the different vampire races may
be working together as well as with a rogue group of human vampire activists
with a nefarious goal that may threaten humanity all across the galaxy. Now the V-SAN group must learn the truth and
stop their greatest threat before it is too late.
This film doesn’t pretend to be anything other than what it
is – an outer space action film that happens to have vampires. It’s a fun romp through sci-fi chaos and war
and is entertaining from beginning to end.
Being the type of film that it is it can’t help but be a little campy
and the addition of Michael Ironside in the cast just confirms it. This film may not be the most intelligent
vampire action film out there but it sure is one of the most entertaining and
if you miss that then you’re missing the whole point of the film.
