I just watched Priest, the vampire action movie. It surprisingly has a great cast. It stars Paul Bettany as the main vampire hunter who rebels against the church with Maggie Q as his second. Karl Urban is the main villain and Christopher Plummer is the head of the church. Lily Collins is the relative of the vampire hunter who he tries to rescue after being abducted by vampires. Stephen Moyer and Madchen Amick have brief roles.
It was a short film, around 80 minutes but it seems it had a budget of $60 million. World wide box office receipts exceeded the budget but not by much. It has very low ratings on Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes. It was worth watching for the scares, the concept, and the action scenes, as well as for the chance to see all these fine actors together. Not a great film but I enjoyed it.
