Preview: Rise: Blood Hunter (2007)

• Poster: C

Review:

There are some interesting elements in the poster. Namely, everything below Lucy Liu's picture. Admittedly, this is to sell an otherwise niche film. However, Liu's image does little to increase the poster's aesthetic value.

• Trailer: D

Review:

As the credits of the film's producers and writer shift by, the first film that points to problems is Gothika and when you watch the preview, it has a similar feeling. This time, we have Liu as the protagonist instead of Halle Berry and this film is about vampires. We've had enough such film and I see this one becoming extinct faster than many of its predecessors. It just doesn't look that good.

Oscar Prospects:

I've seen more preposterous suggestions, but not many.
