In a world ravaged by wars between humans and vampires, a renegade priest fights to rescue his niece from the legions of bloodsuckers who seek to transform the young girl into one of them. A battle-weary veteran of the last vampire war, warrior Priest (Paul Bettany) now resides in a heavily fortified city where the ruling Church is a greater menace than any creature of the night. When a pack of vampires abduct Priest's niece (Lily Collins), the vengeful holy man breaks his vows and promises to save the young innocent from a fate worse than death. He can't do it alone, but with a powerful warrior Priestess (Maggie Q) and his niece's boyfriend, a sharp-shooting sheriff (Cam Gigandet), on his side, Priest may have a fighting chance. Stephen Moyer, Karl Urban, and Brad Dourif co-star.

  1. Negative review
    Mark Feeney, Boston Globe "Priest'' is based on a series of Korean graphic novels. What it's really based on, though, is other movies - a whole lot of other movies. Full review External link
  2. Negative review
    Tirdad Derakhshani, Philadelphia Inquirer High production values and slick editing can't save this picture. Nor does its overbearing soundtrack music, which tries to strong-arm viewers into believing they're watching a pulse-pounding thriller. Full review External link
  3. Negative review
    Linda Barnard, Toronto Star A mash-up of vampire horror and period westerns stewed with Blade Runner cityscapes and ridiculous religious images in a bubbling cauldron of dumb ideas and sinfully bad dialogue. Full review External link
  4. Negative review
    Eric D. Snider, Film.com Too good-looking to be dismissed entirely, not bad enough to be worthy of outright scorn, but not good enough to watch, either. Full review External link
  5. Negative review
    Mike Hale, New York Times The film, based in name only on a series of South Korean graphic novels, has nice, washed-out desert exteriors and some cool jet-powered motorcycles, but there's nothing in the hackneyed story or the derivative action scenes to make you take notice. Full review External link
  6. Negative review
    Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger The whole thing -- which in less than an hour-and-a-half manages to insult Catholics, Native Americans, John Wayne fans and anybody with two I.Q. points to spare -- all climaxes in a lot of fire and smoke and CGI explosions. Full review External link
