This classic anime film is now available in brand new packaging. On an American military base in Japan, a new kind of vampire emerges: Teropterids. They are monstrous shape-shifting creatures that can only be killed with special swords. A ... Full Descriptionmysterious girl named Saya is the last "original," the only person capable of dealing with the menace of these monsters. Posing as a student at the base's school, Saya races to hunt down the beasts before they turn an ordinary Halloween bash into a bloody massacre. Production IG, known for their pioneering digital effects, describes BLOOD: THE LAST VAMPIRE as a full digital animation movie, which means that even though many sequences were animated using pencil and paper, the artwork was digitally scanned. Inking and coloring were completed by computer, as were several other special effects. Hiroyuki Kitakubo was chosen to direct the project because of his digital experience (he oversaw the movie sequences in the GHOST IN THE SHELL game for the Sony PlayStation.) The film is also notable for the participation of screenwriter Mamoru Oshii, who helmed GHOST IN THE SHELL and has written a novel that takes place in BLOOD's universe. Despite its resemblance to BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, BLOOD succeeds in creating its own gloomy, chiaroscuro world.Theatrical release (Japan): November 18, 2000
The project took three years to complete. The complexity of the animated effects partially explains why the film is only 48 minutes long.
The film cost $4.5 million to make. Some of the money came from the Japanese government, to help push the digital techniques being developed at Production I.G.
Because the film takes place on an American military base, approximately 75 percent of the original dialogue is in English.
Oshii has said that he likes his films to read like Mayan glyphs. This in part explains the lack of back story in BLOOD.
BLOOD inspired a novel and a Sony Playstation video game featuring Saya. Blood: The Last Vampire Reviews: "...A movie that seems destined for cult status....[It] presents some of the most visually detailed characters ever seen in an animated film not aspiring to photo-realism..."
-- Stephen Holden, New York Times "...The film is certainly a visual treat..."
-- Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter "...An extraordinary achievement in the genre, meticulously conceived and executed..."
-- Wade Major, Box Office "...Feeling like a distant cousin of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, BLOOD makes you wish it were longer..."
-- Marc Bernardin, Entertainment Weekly Hide Description

Blood: The Last Vampire review
$21.49 Combining romance, gothic horror, science fiction, and bloody action into a dazzling anime production, VAMPIRE HUNTER D (2000) takes the vampire mythos to a new level. This movie is not a remake or a continuation of the 1985 movie of the same title. That movie was loosely based on the first of Kikuchi Hideyuki's VAMPIRE HUNTER D books, set 10,000 years in the future. VAMPIRE HUNTER D (2000) takes its cue from the third book in the series, though there are significant deviations in plot. Here, the charismatic vampire, Meier Link, arrives in town in the middle of the night and spirits away a beautiful woman. D, the child of a human and a vampire, is hired to retrieve her. Racing against time and against another group ...

Blood: The Last Vampire movie DVD
$8.95 Adults who may have been turned off by the more kid-friendly elements of the first two Potter films should sit up and cheer; this fourth installment of Harry's adventures at the magic school of Hogwarts is more mature and darker than its immediate predecessor. This year, Hogwarts is hosting the Tri Wizard festival, and there may be a plot afoot to off Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) during the proceedings. Hermione (Emma Watson) finds a man worthy of her in competing Russian Quidditch champion Viktor Krum (Stanislav Ivaneski), to the chagrin of Ron Weaselly (Rupert Grint) who, though growing into a fine, shaggy orange-haired figure of a lad, is still not quite mature enough to ask Hermione to the Yule ball. Krum's teacher may be involved in the dastardly get-Harry plot, which involves writhing snake tattoos, skull clouds, death-eaters, tournaments with live dragons, a submersible schooner, and a competing school of poised and beautiful girls run by Maxime (Frances de la Tour), who shares a romantic past with gamekeeper Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane). All the other favorites of the series are back as well, including Alan Rickman, Michael Gambon, Maggie Smith, and Gary Oldman, with Timothy Spall as the odious Wormtail, while a new addition to the A-list thespian roster is Ralph Fiennes.
