Not that we wanted a sequel to John Carpenter's below average original here comes Jon Bon Jovi as Derek Bliss, taking over from James Woods' character in the original, as a apparently bad-ass vampire hunter who has to gather together a rag tag group of fellow hunters (that include a sixteen-year-old boy, a girl who's infected with vampire blood but can live normally thanks to medication, a priest who survived a vampire massacre and a African-American shotgun touting guy from Lousiana) to take on a female vampire and her minions that are after the infected woman in their midst.

Bon Jovi makes for one bland hero here (he has no charisma and sports a lame stake-shooting gun) and it's not helped by having a whole slew of unexciting and sped-up vampire attacks, some really poor (and quickly discarded) attempts at eroticism, a tepid finale and just the fact this is one boring ass vampire film!

Director/writer Tommy Lee Wallace has done a okay vampire movie before (Fright Night Part 2) but stumbles here trying to make a "hip" follow-up to an original that was pretty crappy to begin with.

Doesn't pile on the misogony and pointless gore of the first film but could've maybe used some of it because what's here is so dull.
