      Reviews 23% 1,000+ Ratings Audience Score Mortimer Shade (Kevin Howarth), a police detective, is trapped in a freezer and left there to die. Instead, his body is infected by a mysterious organism that resurrects him -- albeit with an insatiable hunger for blood, which he can suck up from his victims through a claw-like appendage. His partner, John Dark (Luke Goss), helps keep Shade alive by hunting down criminals and letting him feed on them, but he soon begins to fear that the formerly human policeman's monstrous side is taking over.

      Audience Member It wasn't great by any means but Luke and Kevin are two good looking men! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member slow moving and gory Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Admittedly, I had no clue what to expect from this movie, I had not seen a trailer nor read a review, and after watching it I can see why. The first half of the movie is pathetically slow, however the last half comes close to making up for it and actually got my blood pumping a few times. To explain the story, a dead detective is revived by having his body overtaken by a parasite, called a grail, which reanimates his body. In this new form, he and his partner turn into vigilantes, with the criminals providing the much needed blood the grail needs in order to survive. However, as most possessions go, the "human" side of him starts to fade and a more carnal side begins to appear, frightening his partner into finally having to turn on him. It was hard for me to see a story taking place, scenes were happening but no real apparent moving forward of the plot, but I could have been missing it. No offense to the actors, but it was hard knowing who was what as, not that they looked liked one another or anything, but the characters didn't come across very well and I found it hard knowing exactly which cop was on screen. Just not a well done movie, at all. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty dark movie. A bit of a "The crow" ripoff. Proposed alternative titles: "Vigilante ghostcop", "good cop, undead cop" Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Horror with a film noir feel to it. Bizarre and surprisingly intelligent horror. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member this film is just awful. lol an hour or so of my life wasted way Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
