Ricci is the only really redeeming thing about this one, although I'll it that I had no clue about the big twist.

Had a few laugh-out-loud moments for me here and there -- the entire journey of the boom box from dancing entrance to how it landed in the well was great -- and the fight with the nigh-unstoppable killer was a lot of fun, but the stuff between Dastan and Zhanna was a bit obnoxious, as was most everything with Murat.

If nothing else, the special effects are *much* better this time around. The plot is also a bit less convoluted, even if it is revolving around a new McGuffin created to explain things that didn't really need extra explanation.

A bloody fun time at the movies; takes a little while to get going, but once the supernatural shenanigans kick in it's a blast. Young Alisha Weir is great as our titular vampire, but the real highlight for me was Dan Stevens getting to play a total scumbag.
