The story of the film is actually quite interesting, how much ever it may be hard to believe and buy into. The production quality and VFX work of the teams not bad, considering probably the makers didn't have much budget to begin with. There wasn't much gay romance on screen but clearly the film focussed the love between Thomas and Ai Fei with vampire and all that as the background. The back story of all of them helps audience connect with the story. The demon hunters angle was a bit too much for me to handle especially when the female characters just came out as emotionless bitches. I know, it feels like I keep going back and for the on whether the film was decent or outrightly bad, but trust me such is this movie. You must have heard that sometimes things are so bad that they feel good. This feels one such case. Overall, I would say that the film campy throughout and bit tacky as well, but there were some random cute and quirky parts too. This movie is rolled into the good, bad and the ugly category. You decide for yourself. (3/10)
