YesAsia Editorial Description

My Sassy Girl's Jeon Ji Hyun makes her English-language debut in the 2009 fantasy action thriller Blood: The Last Vampire directed by Chris Nahon (Kiss of the Dragon). Based on the same-titled 2000 animated feature, Blood revolves around a mysterious female slayer who battles hordes of vampires in postwar Japan. Billed under her English name Gianna, Jeon Ji Hyun dons the trademark pigtails and sailor suit uniform for a tough-as-nails turn as the katakana-wielding heroine. Playing Jeon's arch-nemesis is another crossover Asian star, popular Japanese actress Koyuki from The Last Samurai. Featuring impressive CG effects and sword and wirework action choreographed by Corey Yuen (Red Cliff), Blood: The Last Vampire presents a gritty, gothic world of fantastical adventure and thrilling action.

Though she looks like a teenage girl, Saya (Jeon Ji Hyun) has actually been hunting bloodsuckers for centuries. Allied with a top-secret government organization, Saya's only goal is to track down Onigen, the most powerful of all vampires. Her quest brings her to a US military airbase which has seen numerous vampire attacks. Saya goes undercover at the local high school to investigate, but all hell breaks loose when classmate and general's daughter Alice (Allison Miller) discovers her identity. Much blood is shed and vampires slayed as Saya's dark past is slowly revealed, bringing her closer than ever to Onigen.

     Katanastruck Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
    Although I’d previously read various downers about the fake looking CGI blood (there’s fake rain here, too, you know), ‘politically correct’ plot elements and the like, I absolutely enjoyed every minute of B:TLV. ( I watch bloody action films in moderation however). I wanted to see this as much for Ji-hyon (she’s greaaat!) as for the Production I.G. anime it was based on, but would certainly recommend this to anyone who enjoys action horror films like “Underworld”. As its been ages since I watched the original BTLV anime I can’t scrutinise or compare the parallel elements now. But this adaptation certainly delivers, the violent action-CGI martial arts and swift cutting stop motion all impressively intense (Saya’s katana splices, plunges and dices to make even Excalibur blush with admiration) and its a well crafted compliment to the original 50 minute anime. Saya’s lengthy swordplay fight with Colin Salmon’s vampire brood is most definitely the key sequence, with a cacophony of violent acrobatic ballet where severed vampire limbs, torsos and heads fly everywhere – albeit odd blood. CGI blood does appear somewhat synthetic (like constipated red bubble bath here), but ironically the original’s anime cartoon blood is only red pen ink. I did wish the Saya v Onigen conflict was a little more unpredictable and convoluted than the anticlimactic final moment though. All-powerful Onigen seemed like she wanted to burst into an operatic aria than throw about powerful ancient powers. Saya and Colin Salmon’s monster fight was more virile. In fact the ending seemed too sudden. Battle conflict one minute – The End the next!

    No doubt Ji-hyon worked extremely hard as Saya and considering she’s never done any action flicks before (apart from the few stints in “My Sassy Girl” as the Girl’s fantasy alter ego heroines Lara Croft et al) all her wire work and 10+ hours getting soaked in ‘fake’ rain deserves utmost applause. Ji-hyon used her energies well and would have to have prioritised her wirework. She learned a lot! Having also mastered English and along with her sincere and generous conduct, modesty and acting skills makes Ji-hyon an excellent Korean role model with great credence to all her work. This Japanese DVD features a 35 minutes making of (as does the HK version) mainly focusing on Ji-hyon’s action work, training et al plus a interspersed interviews with other cast members including Ji-hyun. If you want pulse bursting action – you’ve got it here!

     what happened? Customer Review Rated Bad 2 - 2 out of 10
    If you are a fan of the anime , this movie will disappoint . The movie begins well , but once you arrive at the american base , it begins to change . The character of the powerful Saya is reduced to a confused halfling how boring ? and is saved by an american schoolgirl ! how stupid ! This re_write of the script is your typical politically correct american rubbish , not a shadow of the original , fast paced /exciting/bloody/dramatic and brilliant anime . What a pity to waste the talent of a great korean actress , who is perfect the good CGI with this purile rubbish .

    The movie is not as bad as people say although there is some bad CGI effects.
    I enjoyed the movie which is a real popcorn flick, I havent seen the anime and I honestly dont care if it´s the same as the anime or not as Im judging this movie on it´s own merits.
