Corbin Nash, a New York police officer and boxer, learns from a mysterious stranger that his parents were demon hunters who were slain by vampires. Investigating the lead in Los Angeles, Nash is captured and forced to engage in brutal fights run by demons. After defeating the other competitors, Nash is turned into a vampire and dumped on the streets. He is found by a stripper, Macy, who helps him recover and continue his investigation. Aided by a blind street prophet, Nash discovers that a pair of sadistic vampires, Queeny and Vince, are behind his parents' deaths and the city's problems. After confronting and killing them, Nash accepts his destiny to fight evil.

Reception

Dennis Harvey of Variety described it as "a solemnly silly mashup of ideas from Blade, Batman and Sin City" that genre fans may enjoy as "a passable guilty pleasure".[6] John DeFore wrote in The Hollywood Reporter that it "sometimes briefly achieves that rare feat, of being so terrible it entertains", though he said it is frequently boring or offensive.[7] At Dread Central, Matt Boiselle rated it 2.5/5 stars and called it "a poor-man’s Blade" that has too many boring lulls in its action.[8]
