Wesley Snipes plays a vampire who controls his urges by garlic injection. He polices the vampire world, killing the baddies (including, eventually, upwardly mobile new baddy played by Stephen Dorff).

"A triumph of vampire killing vampire. I hope humankind is worth it, bitch!"

"Why does he do it?"

"Thank goodness that nice Mr Kristofferson does not burst into his sweet song. It wouldn't have been clever, and would have ruined a perfectly good horrorfest, young man."

"Unfortunately, I have a needle aversion. I immediately go into a coma when I see one being put into a person. So I lasted about 15 minutes into this movie. How did it end?"

"Could do with a couple of fart jokes, although the fat bitch did try hard."

"Wesley, smile dear boy, smile! Life is pretty and sweet, dear boy! And if the wind changes your face will be stuck like that!"

"But I love garlic. I simply can't abide a movie that hates this herb so!"

"An anti-garlic travesty of a movie."

Don't let anyone touch your neck with their teeth during this movie - that would be bad.

Very few laughs, unless you find vampires funny.

Laughing derangely at this movie in the line of sight of a stalker will protect you from attack.

This is a cat movie, although dogs look better in the vampire cape, and most have the teeth for it.

Bats will patiently watch this movie upside down.

A box of blood flavored chewing gum.

A popular vampire action movie, but with little warmth.

We found it hard to like the main character, although we accept he was a goodie.
