Very funny to see that some reviewers think Rise is an original take
on the vampire genre. There is nothing original about it. Most of the
ideas used are completely ripped off from other horror movies, including
the superior vampire movie The Hunger (1983) with Catherine Deneuve
and David Bowie. I honestly haven't a clue what they wanted to do. Since it fails in too many departments for me to like it. First of all,
this movie screams for some good action and humour. I don't care if the
characters do or don't have super powers. It only would add quality if
any eye candy was provided. I have seen fan made movies with better SFX
than this one. I was waiting for Lucy Liu to kick some serious ass
Charlie Angels style. Well, she doesn't! She uses a crossbow and
that's it. And the most ridiculous thing is that the bloodsuckers she
encounters who overpowered her in the first place don't put up a fight. They just wait for her to pull the trigger. Secondly, apart from some
bloody scenes this movie never gets scary or thrilling. I had to drink
a lot of coffee just to stay awake. It would have been nice if a story
had been included to hold my interest. Or that at least some effort had been made to add something refreshing. The biggest mystery that this
movie provides is the fact that pretty fine actors like Michael
Chiklis, Robert Forster (who obviously discovered what crap he was in
since he has one minute of screen time) and Mako got involved. The lack
of substance and style which Rise desperately needs destroys any form
of entertainment. Complete waste of time!

I wasn't massively impressed either. Lucy Liu is the best thing in it.
