In 2210, mineral rich planets are cleansed of Vampires by a rag-tag group of Corporate Mercenaries. This interesting blend of Sci-Fi, Action and Horror, plays out like a lost episode of STAR TREK, though it has been updated to contain gore laden imagery. One might argue that it also has the swagger of a Western in a Sci-Fi setting, replete with the half breed guide, (a Vamp/Human in this case), who was brilliantly played by Natassia MALTHE. Though not without misfires, other credible performances were delivered by Joe LANDO, Dominic ZAMPROGNA and Michael IRONSIDE. Natassia MALTHE, however, stole the show as the Kate BECKINSALE-UNDERWORLD like heroine who wears black leather and kicks inter-galactic Vampire butt. An interesting and entertaining blend that is worth checking out!

I must admit that I purchased this movie because Dominic Zamprogna was it and I figured I'd suffer through it just to watch him. Imagine my surprise when I actually enjoyed the movie. I have never willingly watched or purchased a horror movie before, but this one actually had a plot (our heros work for a corporation and go out and exterminate vampires from planets so that the miners etc. can do their job) and a B plot (the crew has to learn to trust each other after a tragedy befalls them) and a C plot (a misguided group of humans acting like Vamp-peace, believe that the vamps are just misunderstood and that humans are bad and makes bad choices that gets humans killed).
The original crew of 5 (which quickly is reduced to 4) actually manages to give us some backstory and a reason to care about them. Dominic Zamprogna as First Officer Damien Underwood gives a great performance and really carries the film. He even manages to keep it together in some of the campier scenes.
Michael Ironsides is a bit over the top, but then again, since I've never met a vampire perhaps his performance was spot on.
I am happy to have this movie in my library and know that it will get many viewings, especially when I need some escape and an excuse for a beer and popcorn.

I'm a big fan of Dominic Zamprogna, who's currently acting on General Hospital, so that's what made me purchase this dvd.Anyway, it was a pretty good action movie. There was also a few familiar faces in this movie. Anyway, I liked it.

"VAMPIRE WARS: BATTLE FOR THE UNIVERSE" (released on DVD in Canada by Maple Pictures as "BLOOD SUCKERS") is fantastic! Don't miss this fun, EXTREMELY(!!!) campy movie that is a combination of the best elements of BUFFY, FIREFLY, STARSHIP TROOPERS and EVIL DEAD!!! I'll quote from the back of the DVD box: VAMPIRE WARS: BATTLE FOR THE UNIVERSE: "The Year is 2210. The universe is overrun with hundreds of vampire species that prey upon humans in brutal, surprise attacks. That's when intergalactic Vampire Sanitation teams are called upon to lay waste to these vile predators. V-SAN crews, who've come to know their line of work as 'the toughest job you'll ever hate,' are comprised of rough and rugged men, women--and i the case of the Heironymous crew--a half-human vampiress named Quintana (Natassia Malthe), who draws upon her psychic prowess to help the V-SANS track their quarry. Led by Captain Nicholas Churchill (Joe Lando) and second-in-command Damian Underwood (Dominic Zamprogna), the Heironymous team becomes the target of a deadly trap that has much deeper and darker purpose. Directed by their vile leader Muco (Michael Ironside), the vampires have no plans of living peacefully with humans...they want to rule the universe." If you're a fan of vampires and space adventure movies and TV shows, then VAMPIRE WARS definitely belongs in your DVD library. Echo Bridge Home Entertainment (formerly Platinum) has come a long way in improving the quality of their DVD's. The picture and sound quality of VAMPIRE WARS is crystal clear with no pixelation whatsoever. The animated Menu that opens the movie is exciting and interesting as well. Don't overlook the "scene select" option--each of the 3 scene select grids have different rock songs from the movie playing in the background. VAMPIRE WARS will be in my DVD collection forever! TRIVIA NOTE: on the DVD box of BLOOD SUCKERS, the Canadian release of the movie, the year is 2205--while on the box of the VAMPIRE WARS version, the year is 2210! Also, on the BLOOD SUCKERS DVD box, the team are referred to as "Nosferatus", instead of V-SANS. Take your pick! For the sake of completeness, I'll quote from the back of the BLOOD SUCKERS DVD box: BLOOD SUCKERS: "The year is 2205. After exhausting Earth, we now import vital natural resources from other planets. Suddenly Earth finds itself invaded by alien vampires in search of their own natural resource: human blood. Now it's up to a team of combating specialists known as "Nosferatus" to save our planet and our species against these highly intelligent and savage bloodsuckers."

I've been a huge fan of the SCI-FI channel for a long time, especially their cheap SCI-FI Original Movies. This is the best movie I have ever seen! I don't know why, but this movie appealed to me more than any movie I have ever seen. The characters and acting are excellent. They storyline is far fetched but interesting. This is an excellent, perfectly done movie. For all vampire and sci-fi geeks alike. Watch it and have a fun time.
