Would have been great....

I watched this movie and though it was good. But here are the things i think would have made it a great film:

1. Plot. They skimped out on the story. Very little was explaiend and there was no back ground story. The Alchemist? Bishop? You didn't even really see Sadie reasearching any of the 'cult/vampire' people. and that cop and his daughter bit was pratically thrown in for filler. I think someone was a bit too afraid of ripping kill bill that they cut out the good bit that would have the story make sense.

2.Pace. That also sucked. But that can be blamed on the gap-filled plot.

3. Soundtrack. Everone loves a soundtrack.

4. There was no character development. Practically all the interaction between people were random. as per the 'plot' rant above.

Again...someone was scared of being a kill bill copy cat....

I definitely agree here.

I liked the film, but I wanted so much more.

I may spoil some thing for people who have not seen it, but then why be reading this if you haven't??

It is hinted at that Bishop took over the "family" from Arturo (the Alchemist), so why does Sadie not go back and confront him when she finds this out. I would have were I to find out he was the one who started this. I mean Arturo could HAVE been wanting Sadie to do his dirty work and kill Bishop so he could take back the power Bishop took.

See that would have been kind of interesting I think to have Sadie find out she is being used by Arturo (where did she get the name the Alchemist?) for his own ends.

Plus I think the film needed WAY more father/daughter stuff BEFORE Tricia dies so we could see how their relationship was.

PLUS Ethan finding the website from a phone number for a party that Tricia did not even want to go to? Her friend was the excited one, so why would Tricia invite others along? I just did not understand all that.

This movie had the feel of a "let's see if this works, if so, we'll make a Scy-Fy weekly TV show out of it"! That might have been better, anyway.
