We pick up on an already-transformed Sadie in the midst of her revenge spree, then intersperse the forward action with flashbacks that show how she got to this point. Writer-director Sebastian Gutierrez opts to tell this simple story (essentially, it’s Point Blank with vampires) out of order, though not quite as oneirically as John Boorman did in his film of Point Blank. Under the tutelage of a mysterious guru (Julio Oscar Mechoso), Sadie sets out to execute Bishop’s coven with silver arrows, eventually teaming with drunken burned-out cop Clyde Rawlins (Michael Chiklis), who wants revenge for the death of his daughter (Margo Harshman). After a disorienting spell on the street and at a homeless shelter, she learns to survive. Raped, bled dry and dumped, Sadie wakes up in the morgue and realises that Eve has ‘turned’ her. Girl reporter Sadie Blake (Lucy Liu) happens across a story which she thinks involves a sub-culture of s-m goth chicks being ritually slaughtered by a well-connected cult, but is pounced upon and extensively abused by suavely brutal vampire Bishop (James D’Arcy) and his consort Eve (Carla Gugino). ‘That man was going to eat you, and I don’t mean the euphemism for oral sex.’
