Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Artur Machado In a dystopian future devastated by the war between humans and vampires, people live in walled cities controlled by the Church. Warrior priests are no longer necessary because vampires no longer pose a serious threat to civilization, but when a priest's niece is abducted by a resistant group of vampires, he calls into question his vows and philosophy of life.This premise seems to establish a more psychological and philosophical dimension to the film, but it is just that, a premise, because from here the priest leaves in pursuit of his niece, joins with her boyfriend and some other warrior priestess and it is only action and fx thereafter. And vampires are gray monsters without eyes and those who look like human vampires are just the servants. The film lasts an hour and a half, but it would benefit from another half hour to better establish the universe and the characters. Well, it served to entertain...
johnwiltshireauthor Sometimes you just want to watch swirly long coats and slow-mo martial arts set in post-apocalyptic landscapes of searing desert sands and the ghosts of our destroyed civilisation, don't you? This film is gorgeous to look at; from the cross tattoos on the priests' faces, to the retro wild west costumes, it's a highly stylised visual treat. The vampires were malignant, vicious amalgams: Aliens meets The Descent. Paul Bettany makes a convincing lead: the near-silent loaner on a mission. You basically have to put all logic to one side and not think too deeply about the plot of this film. Just go with it for the visuals, the action, the pace and some impressive special effects.
jackmeat My quick rating - 5,9/10. Now that is a fun movie. A "Priest" is basically the badasses who protect the city in a post-apocalyptic city that is run by religious radicals. They are walled into the city to keep away from the vampires that live outside the walls that supposedly had all been terminated. But these aren't your every day vampires, they are mutated and don't have interest in romantic bites to turn you into one of them. basically they want you dead. After a "priest" (Paul Bettany" has his niece kidnapped, he goes looking for her and confronts the whole band of vampires. A fun action/scifi ish movie that just goes all over the board in the action department. Definitely worth watching and strangely flew under my radar until now. If the story itself wasn't so convoluted it would score higher so check reality at the door and grab your ninja crucifix throwing stars and you will enjoy the bloody romp through this interesting world.
SiberianHusky_Angel I don't know why Priest got so many bad reviews when it is such a great movie. The movie is so underrated and unappreciated, it's ridiculous! People that are giving this movie bad reviews either don't like vampire movies ,or they aren't open to new ideas. Priest isn't mean't to be anything like Twilight, and it also isn't mean't to be anything sexy or about Dracula. Priest has a unique story and has amazing actors and actresses as the lead characters. The movie had a lot of potential and a great desire to be incomparable to all the other vampire films out there. The acting, story, and dialog of this film is incredible, and people should definitely give this movie more credit for that. It isn't the typical vampire movie. Another thing that I should add is the fact that this movie doesn't take two hours or more to get to the point, so that's a bonus. There are several movies out there that are known for taking a long time for the story to build up, but this movie isn't one of them. It takes just the right amount of time to get to the point. I like that the vampires in the film isn't like the ideal and typical vampires we see in most films. They're more monstrous and savage like creatures that definitely creates a whole new impression of vampires. This film is very unique and entertaining, and it deserves much more credibility. I love the film, and I hope they make a sequel.
