The whole “vampire” centerpiece isn’t used to excess, and that is a good thing, mainly due to the fact that I don’t think at this point in cinema showcasing there can be much left to either present or accomplish with the undead nightcrawler plotline. Performances are standard fare (with Curtis as the exception – her gaze is hypnotizing). The remainder of the film has a sound cat and mouse chase that will give the noir-nostalgists a nice feeling in their guts, with a semi-pleasing dosage of crimson to shower in.
In any event, as the two absconders continue their hot and heavy entanglement with each other, the violence level ratchets higher and higher when Crystal’s need to feed gets SLIGHTLY out of control (they don’t call this movie Blood Ransom for nothin). Okay, I need to put the brakes on here for a few… I’m beginning to drone on like one of those Harlequin romance novels. However, a strong bond begins to grow between her and Jeremiah as their attempts to flee from the villains that pursue them cause their hearts to grow fonder for one another. To further complicate things for those involved, a sadistic hitman named Bill (Jamie Harris) is dispatched to run the two escapists down and return Crystal to her rightful place at her master’s side.
Now you all didn’t think that would be the stone-cold endline of the plot, did ya? No way! Her hunger pains grow stronger every day, and if that isn’t enough of a problem to be dealing with, she is now being pursued by Jeremiah (Alexander Dreymon), a man that has been sent to bring her home to safety. The movie stars Anne Curtis (the Philippines’ Queen of the Box Office) as Crystal – a woman who is devastated due to the passing of her parents, and her solace is found at the immortal hands of an evil head-honcho bloodsucker (Caleb Hunt as Roman), thus beginning her seven-day evolution into becoming a creature of the night.
