 A B Movie At Its Most Boring...., 2005-10-24
Like another reviewer said, let's face facts, a lot of vampire films are either dull, weird, or downright dumb. Dull and a little stupidity makes this vampire film what it is.
It looked like an interesting vampire film at the video rental place. It looked a lot better than some of the other vampire films there. And though the movie I don't hate, I found extremely boring. Hardly anything happened. Most of the time they just talked and snarled at each other and these young ones were just dumb fledglings that are weak and destructive. Hardly as refined and secretive as the old ones, and you wonder why the old ones don't do anything about it. The old ones just sit there and talk and talk with one female that obviously sleeps around as a hobby...boring. Then these vampire hunters are hardly anything more than the stereotypical kind. This whole movie drips with stereotype. Except for the fact these vampires can go out at day, and usually always are. Hardly any real characters to care for, and the plot itself is one- minded besides the lead male vampire having the hots for a human female, which I could have cared less about. Nothing really new in this film that gives any spark, nor an interest. I would not recommend it. Try to find a better vampire film. A B movie at its most boring.

 Homogenized & fang-free -- not undead but certainly un-fun, 2005-01-08
It's not scary, it's not sexy, it's not bloody, it's not intriguing. It's almost always daytime and it's not even worth the 84 min runtime.
Remember the characters in those '80s nighttime soaps? Dallas and the like? Imagine those lifeless shells as vampires and you've got this movie. Expect to see people walking the beach alone, pining alone in bed. Plotting endlessly, yet acting little.

Pretty Good as vampire movies go, 2004-04-12
Let's face it, if you're a fan of the genre, you know that most vampire movies suck (no pun intended). This one doesn't. It's actually pretty good, especially if you like a view that's sympathetic to the vampires. The vampires in this movie are a subspecies of humans, with their own society and laws. Sounds sort of like Kindred, The Embraced, doesn't it? It even has the stylish old-world vampires at odds with the younger, rebel vampires. It also has the beautiful blonde human reporter who's in love with one of the vampires. The movie has some good twists, attractive women, cool settings...and it's entertaining.

 I Love This Movie!, 2003-08-01
This is one of the few vampire movies I could watch again and again. It's not very gory but it's very entertaining nonetheless. It stars Jason London, and he plays his role as that of vampire-who-doesn'-t know-he's-a-vampire very well. Blood Ties has its very funny moments as well (I'm not sure they were supposed to be that funny...). Get this movie today. Happy watching!

Views more like a murder drama than a vampire movie..., 2003-03-11
Frankly, I'm surprised it even got an R rating. The story isn't half bad, except they break the cardinal rule that vampires can't exist in the daylight. In most ways they don't even seem like vampires--just a strange branch of humanity who can feed on blood when riled enough. Anyway, don't expect any nudity. What scenes there are could probably be boadcast without censorship, in my opinion. The violence must be what makes it restricted, but again compared to most vampire movies of today, the violence is very tame.If you're looking for a borderline R vampire flick to watch with teen members of the family, this is it. Enjoy the tale. But, hardcore horror fans will think this extremely disappointing....
