Surprising little sleeper of a vampire movie

I'd never heard of this movie, it just appeared on Foxtel and being a lover of the vampire genre waited for another shlocky vampire movie with special effects, totally unappealing vampires and corny acting. I was totally surprised. I loved it. OK it wasn't the best acting I've seen especially by Adrian Paul but then he was playing a Polish Jew in a rather wooden performance ~ I mean aren't all vampires sexy? Anyway I loved the location (Budapest, Hungary) and the eerie feel to the movie. I loved the story line of a human and vampire cop seeking out a vampire criminal, reminds me of Forever Knight. I thought Bai Ling played a beautiful vampire, she had it down pat, not to mention her beautiful black panther. Loved the scene in the Pravda disco, would have liked more of that. Sexy vampires with fangs not turning into monsters is very appealing. I would like to see more of these characters. The black cop was cool too, loved his turn to the vampire side of life. Cool movie 8/10
