Prowl (2010)
7/10
A good B movie for Vampire fans!

I confess I am a vampire movie buff. I don't like certain vampire movies that are just ugly looking unintelligent zombie vampires. Rather I enjoy a vampire movie that contains some lore and back story that explains why the vampires are there, who they are and what they are up to in the movie.

What I liked about this movie is that it appears as though a bunch of dumb teens are just dropped off in a wharehouse complex full of mindless zombie vampire automaton's ready and willing to consume the teenagers in a burst of blood and gore. In fact thats exactly what does happen to about half of them. Then some storyline appears when the head vampire shows up, explains what she is doing here and why these vampires are all in one location. I really liked that some story was brought into the movie at this point. We learn that the mother vampire has collected vampire children that are orphans and placed them all in this wharehouse complex in the middle of nowhere as a means to train them how to kill, how to survive and how to feed. This is fantastic! One by one the teens are killed off until we reach the final teen who for some reason has been able to survive the onslaught of vampire attacks. It is then that we learn that the protagonist is not only a survivor, but someone special who has abilities and powers not dissimilar to the vampires themselves. We learn that her heritage is tied to that of the vampires and that she is 'special'

Fantastic twist at the end! While this movie isn't a blockbuster, go into it expecting a solid B vampire movie and if you enjoy these types of films then I think your hunger will be satisfied!
