I went to this film not expecting much. I came out with a 3 on a scale of one to five. It was average. I think Director Timur Bekmambetov (wow what a mouthful I would hate to have had to learn how to spell that as a kid), did a fine job of piecing together the events of his life in a vampire setting. I was kind of let down that there was nothing about his death. I would have thought there would have been some conspiracy other than Booth shooting him. Being this film kept true to his actual life I would have thought it would have been true to his demise. By true, I mean they followed his life just added vampires in the mix.
There was a lot of CGI in this film. I did not mind that, however being a special effects makeup fan I always like to admire the work people do to create. The vampires in this film were mainly computer generated. They were cool and I know it is easier and can be less costly than the real thing so I get that.
The premise is that Abe's mom gets bitten by a vampire and dies because him and his family feel slaves are people too and should be treated as such. The vampire that his dad worked for felt his dad betrayed him by saving a slave kid. It goes on from there. a stranger , Henry ( Dominic Cooper) finds Abe, teaches him to be a vampire hunter and tells him not to get close to anyone or they will suffer for what he does. As a normal human that does not happen and the battle between good an evil ensues.
