Between the realms of man and the immortal rends Blade, vampire hunter, fighting blood lust with a thirst for vengeance.

Directed by special effects master Stephen Norrington and starring the eternally cool Wesley Snipes, Blade is a dark horror take on the superhero genre. It combines gory monster action with pulpy comic book storytelling, decked out in leather and sporting a techno inflected score. It’s the cinematic equivalent of wearing sunglasses at night while wielding a samurai sword and having the confidence and charisma to actually pull it off.

Detailing the exploits of Eric Brooks (alias Blade), a half-man half-vampire “daywalker” with a mission to destroy the creatures responsible for his condition and the death of his mother, Blade is a tale of obsession, revenge and hubris. With the help of a father-figure with munitions expertise, Blade wages war on vampires, a tortured soul pitting itself against superhuman evil. But can our hero keep this ancient power at bay when an upstart vampire faction plots to enslave all of humanity?

However it ends, Blade will do it with style. See him in action at the Senate.
