Priest

PRIEST, a post-apocalyptic sci-fi thriller, is set in an alternate world -- one ravaged by centuries of war between man and vampires. The story revolves around a legendary Warrior Priest from the last Vampire War who now lives in obscurity among the other downtrodden human inhabitants in walled-in dystopian cities ruled by the Church. When his niece is abducted by a murderous pack of vampires, Priest breaks his sacred vows to venture out on a quest to find her before they turn her into one of them. He is joined on his crusade by his niece's boyfriend, a trigger-fingered young wasteland sheriff, and a former Warrior Priestess who possesses otherworldly fighting skills.

Critic's review of Priest
View all critics' reviews (2)
- It's an amalgam of Matrix wire-fu, Star Wars costuming, post-apocalyptic Mad Max western trappings, vampires reminiscent of those in Blade 2, all set in a world not unlike that of Equilibrium. It's a helluva mix, one which many fanboys will undoubtedly find cool

  Worth a Watch
  
  Really enjoyed this film. Some good action scenes. Interesting story. The High point for me was Paul Bettany, one of this country's underated talents.

  A western-vampire-post apocalyptic genre mash-up with some very high budget CGI, some big name actors, some obligatory kung fu fighting and a liberal dosage of ... read more »
