Against the Dark (2009)

I love this movie so much

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

This movie, apart from completely stupid, is also awfully disgusting There are no words to describe this piece of trash, neither is it necessary.I am completely disappointed, because I am a Seagal fan and I could by no means believe Steaven could participate in such an unspeakable and to vomit (literally meant) disgusting nonsense. Is he believing he is addressing to idiots! Does he not respect his fans at all?Strong recommendation for everybody and especially for the Seagal fans: KEEP OFF THIS garbage!My vote: 1/10, because I cannot give less.

Vampirism caused by a virus, ala 28 DAYS LATER, inside a city and the military must "sterlize" certain sectors so that the infected human creatures won't break containment. Human hunters, led by Steven Seagal, move through sectors "cleaning" buildings and streets of the carnivorous vampires. Inside a hospital are human survivors looking for medicine and food, soon finding themselves trapped and needing to find an exit before military aircraft bomb their location. Armed with a shotgun and kitana sword, Seagal(name Tao in the movie), along with three others(Tanoai Reed, playing Tagart gets lots of action) get plenty of vermin to massacre while the rest of the cast just try to escape and withstand an onslaught of vampires popping up time and again as they move down darkened corridors and through dreary rooms, never knowing what lies in wait. Lots of bloodshed, flesheating, guts, and hacked limbs. The vampires are a lot like zombies in that their bites infect victims, and they have voracious appetites for human flesh. Linden Ashby is Cross, trying desperately to convince Lt. Waters(Keith David; THE THING/THEY LIVE)to not send that air strike without confirmation that the hunters(and any survivors they might find)are safe from the sectors assigned for bombing. Not one original idea to be had here.

Steven Seagal Vs Zomb...Vamp...Mutants?Movie tells a familiar story of a killer virus mutating people and few survivors trying to, well survive even more. There are all so "hunter" who just walk around the city killing Zomb..Vamp...Mutants? Well really one character does the killing, and its not Segal...I don't really know why they call it a Seagal movie because Steve is not really the main character, he is just walking and attacking the camera grew, he only has few lines and don't have much screen time. Movie would been much better if Tanoai Reed were the main character, because that dude fighting was the only thing i liked this movie.Something about the survivors? Well they run a lot and have no homing instinct, i see lots of maps on the hospital but no one is taking one with them.... I wonder how people with no weapons could survive in this Zomb...Vamp...Mutant? infested world.This was a really sad movie... 2 points to Tanoai Reed, give this dude all the movies Seagal tries to do.

I can accept Steven Seagal is never going to reach the popularity he had in the mid 80's and early 90's, but what compels him to make these cookie cutter direct to video releases in the last 5 years I don't know. Every year the movies he makes make less and less sense.Where to begin on this one...the back of the box says "katana master Tao (Seagal) leads a team of black op mercenaries with a massacre in mind, their target: Vampires." As we get the movie underway, within the first 5 minutes they explain that they're not really vampires but a hybrid between zombie and vampire. Think 28 days later....that's strike one because I wanted to see Seagal go head to head with Stephen Dorff or something.At first we meet Seagal's gang of mercenaries which turns out to be him, a dude and 2 chicks. They're supposed to clear out the place just the 4 of them? Unless they're the X-Men I don't buy it. Then we meet the group of about 6 random people trapped in the hospital where the entire movie takes place. Their mission is to get to ground level and out to a car.......and that's where the crap begins. The 6 "survivors" repeatedly run into the "vampires" who are so incompetent that none of the survivors die for the first 45 minutes. In fact, Seagal's crew doesn't do a damn thing after the initial slaying for another half hour. They show various camera shots of him walking around while the rest of the morons run for their lives. The dialogue comes off as so horrible you begin to want the group to just die already. In fact, none of the group buys the farm until Seagal's gang shows up. That's just awful security isn't it? In fact, the only member of Seagal's crew worth anything is Tagart, and sadly he's not on screen enough to save this film.I won't elaborate further because the idea of going over the rest makes my head hurt. The overall fact was it looked to be a monster movie but was in fact just an ordinary zombie movie and all Seagal does is flail away with a kitana sword. Like I said, is this the best role he could play these days? The only 2 highlights is David Keith (a real life friend of Seagal) and Johnny Cage (forgot the actor's name but he plays Cage) debating whether to blow the hospital up.Horrible....2 out of 10
