Crappy film

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Following reports of movement in the Mexican desert, a group of hunters teams up with a woman able to sense their presence to track down a vampire clan attempting to acquire a sacred relic and kill them before they are able to walk in the daylight.As it stands it's a really good film that has a lot to really like. Among the positive points here is the continuation of the plot point of its predecessor in some absolutely fun hunting scenes throughout here that manage to employ a lot of great hunting tools and tactics. Managing to employ the same winching mechanism and pulley system as before to drag them out into the sunlight which again sets them ablaze in really explosive reactions as before, a series of extremely creative and unique hand-held weaponry designed to deliver stakes into their bodies and sharpened poles, along with the usual amount of sword-play and knives that are all featured here which makes for some solid continuity. As well, the continuity here by incorporating the storyline about the lone member with a connection with the lead vampire which causes a great deal of fun by not only allowing for more action in this by featuring more chances at dismembering victims and blood-drinking but also managing to delve into storyline points to help spell out the plot to this one here by giving away clues and actual fates to what was only hinted at otherwise during the current scene. Done in stylish flash images, these are an important part of the film as while at clearing up the rather novel idea here at furthering what was hinted at before with the need for the cross and the blood ritual that allows them to survive in the sunlight which is all nicely woven together here into a pretty good story. As well, there's also a ton of really enjoyable action scenes throughout here, from the opening ambush in the alley, the diner attack where she rips apart everyone with exceptionally quick speed and a great bloodbath sequence where she attacks a church-yard in spectacular fashion while leaving the graphic mess for the group to stumble upon later. There's even a vicious rampage in a small town in broad daylight and a really impressive finale where they hunt the creature several times in the creepy underground crypt providing a series of impressive action here in such tight quarters and being such a fantastic, multi- tiered setting for a vampire hunt as their weapons and tactics come into play here for an overall great time. Along with the fine blood and gore here in the great kills along the way, there's not a whole lot really wrong here, but there's some minor flaws here. One of the biggest issues here is the clumsy final half, which is quite goofy in structure here with the first attack falling short only to fall back to the village for the extended transfusion sequence then to further inject him in another extended sequence before launching the final attack, and as a whole this just seems overlong and needless, especially going through several days to do this without an attack which is quite off. As well, there's also the fact that the female vampire here doesn't really come across as a really intimidating figurehead as she doesn't really do much else others have done and just comes off as threatening solely for what she is. Otherwise this one has a lot more to like overall.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.

"Vampires: Los Muertos" or "John Carpenter presents Vampires: Los Muertos" is a sequel to "Vampires" aka "John Carpenter's Vampires" (1998). A priestly character from the first film hangs around long enough to die, and the story sticks with established rules. This one ends with some strong set-up plot and character points, which seem to have been left bloodless by third series film "Vampires: The Turning" (2005). Each has less terrifying involvement from Mr. Carpenter. According to the DVD sleeve, "Tough-as-nails vampire hunter Derek Bliss (Jon Bon Jovi) is on the hunt for 'suckers' in the heart of Mexico when he receives a new assignment from a mysterious client. Thrown together with a group of slayers, including sexy Zooey (sic), who may or may not be one of the undead, Derek and company are up against a growing number of fast-moving, bloodthirsty vampires and their elusive and powerful leader, who has plans of her own for the slayers." Slippery when wet singer Bon Jovi plays a surfer vampire slayer; he maintains appearance excellently and does not sing a note. Female lead Natasha Wagner (as Zoe) is one of those "half undead" victims; the real-life daughter of Natalie Wood, she takes a drug to prolong the final transformation. Cristián de la Fuente (as Rodrigo) plays a handsome priest with a secret, Diego Luna (as Sancho) is a dubious teenager, and marksman Darius McCray (as Ray Collins) gets vampire head.Ouch.***** Vampires: Los Muertos (9/24/02) Tommy Lee Wallace ~ Jon Bon Jovi, Natasha Gregson Wagner, Cristian Fuente, Diego Luna

My personal opinion is that this movie had no real story line to the first john carpenter's vampires but i don't care I LOVED IT. Jon Bon Jovi (Derek) was great in this movie. He really mad me believe that he was the person you would never think he was a famous ROCKSTAR. There were some bad things about this movie. Like the story line,there should have been more to the movie.there should have been a sequel to the movie that followed the movies story line and they should have kept the same main characters in all three vampires movies. i really liked the clothes that the people wore and the setting they pick in Mexico. i liked how it was old Mexico and not new Mexico. with the clay houses and the old fashion churches. i was a little confused with the vampires and how they were able to walk in churches but it was cool how they didn't follow Dracula vampire rules.

OK - the cast starts over from the first episode. The casting director must have been heavily sedated when casting Jon Bon Jovi for the lead role. Despite this, the movie turns out better than expected. Carpenter still uses shadows/darkness well for foreshadowing, but the plot line runs closer to "Fright night" than the (more worthy) first installment of Vampires. Some of the subplots, and dialog is actually humorous. There's a gratuitous sex scene, and a little violence, but only a shadow of the presence of the first movie. The sequel is not nearly as deplorable as some of the "slasher flick" sequels, but like "evil dead" or "army of darkness", this movie has (accidental) elements of humor.
