Elijah
Pleasantly surprised! It's best to go in blind – the less you know about the plot, the better!

Rodriguez returns, practically remaking the first film, but it lacks the original's spark. Even a bevy of beauties can't quite save the day.
Julian
Can't find north in this twisted, darkly hilarious ride.

The sun always seems to be the ultimate weapon against the big bad in this series. This installment rocks pretty hard, and the story is fairly well-rounded. You can tell they swapped directors again, even without looking at the credits. The downside? The characters feel underdeveloped. The major figures are a bit too one-dimensional. I thought the faith-driven couple would have more to contribute, but Mary's death felt oddly cultish. The vampire queen's final vengeance, along with the closing scene featuring the stepped pyramid, hint at a possible sequel – par for the course with these films, it seems.
