Priest
The Priest Vs. Vamps war, nearly apocalyptic, has been quelled with
humans living in walled up dystopian cities while the vamps are
living on reservations. The Priests are specialized vampire killers
and have since been disbanded after the last war. Now the vamps are
starting to go after humans again in the outer societies, which have
a very old western theme. This annoys me because it's the distant future
and I hate sci-fi western mash-ups. It's also not hard to see a
similarity between this film and age old cowboys vs. Indians films
when you consider the savage bloodthirsty vamps are on reservations
and the priests are civilized westerners.
I liked this movie mostly because of the Catholic totalitarian state
atmosphere. The priests are bad-assed weapon lords that love killing
vampires in very slashy ways. I'd say my only complaint is that Paul
Bettany is basically playing Michael from Legion again. However, that
makes some sense since both films were directed by Scott Stewart. I
have to say, I'd love to see a sequel. Make it happen.

Damn, this is on my list, too. I'll have to get creative now. Still want to watch it though.
