Rise: Blood Hunter is a 2007 New Zealand action horror film that boasts a veritable Who's Who of acclaimed modern character actors and a chilling atmosphere of dread. An innocent reporter (Lucy Liu, Kill Bill) is working on a story and gets attacked by a group of vampires who proceed to semi-gang rape her, feed on her, and try to kill her. One vamp, however (Carla Gugino, Sin City), decides to turn her into an immortal. Upon awakening, the newly-made vamp goes about to take revenge on those who killed her. This quest involves her stripping down multiple times, faking being a lesbian in one instance, killing a couple of innocent people, and enlisting aid from a cop (Michael Chicklis, The Shield) whose daughter was killed - until the end when the daughter shows up as a vamp and bites it (pun intended). Finally, the lead vamp is killed by both of them, and then the cop kills the anti-heroine.moreless
