Blood: The Last Vampire

This is definitely what I would consider a B-level movie. Saya is a Japanese 16 year old samurai who happens to be half-vampire. Her life purpose is to kill Onigen, the biggest-baddest demon around, who also happened to kill her father. She is killing low level demons in an attempt to draw out Onigen and in the process, meets a nice human teenage friend to help her out. I suppose the B-level movie means that there are many significant holes you must overlook. The "vampire" part of this story is so minor and so "not vampirish" that I am surprised that it makes the title. You could have called this Blood: The Last Demon Hunter. For some reason this is set in the 1970's. Often, an era choice allows you to utilize some of the cultural phenomena from that era to fun or dramatic effect. Here, it remains unused, so it is a strange choice. So in spite of the fact that I found the Saya character growing on me over time, one must have rating standards, and for an average, B-movie, it must be
2 stars (out of 5)
