Blood the Last Vampire

In October Jeon Ji-hyeon’s first English language movie Blood the Last Vampire will be released on DVD and Blu-ray.
I was hoping that it would be shown in cinemas here, but it never came, so I ended up downloading a Korean TV-rip (in July). Having watched it, I kind of understand why it wasn’t shown in many cinemas.
I totally bought the stylized action scenes and could accept a certain amount of B-movieness. Unfortunately the script left quite a bit to be desired and had a fair amount of plot holes. Although I tried to keep my expectations down I was disappointed by this movie.
However, Ji-hyeon looks awesome as Saya. Super cool. I might give Blood the Last Vampire another chance. Perhaps I’ll like it more the second time around.

Yeah! I actually watched this movie Saturday with ramen and crackers. lol
I really like the movie but yeah I was kinda feeling the same way about the plot having pieces missing. I was trying to figure out why Onigen was shown only a few times throughout the movie and got killed so fast towards the end. Maybe I should read about it to get a better understanding from the anime.
I like Ji-hyeon. This was my first time watching her in a movie. I think the next movie I’m going to watch of hers is “My Sassy Girl”. Many reviews says that it’s good and a must watch kind of movie. I may also watch this movie over again as well.

The live-action movie tried to add more story that wasn’t covered in the original anime. I don’t recall Onigen being in there at all in the origial.
My sassy girl is a classic. I like it a lot.
