Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Inadvands Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Enchorde Recap: It's dangerous times for Reeve. He is one of the best vampire hunters around, but lately he has come up against strangely many vampires of European descent, and especially one strong that seem to be of royal blood, that killed his partner. There seem to be an internal struggle within the vampire ranks, to unlock an ancient magical secret. Now he got a new rookie partner Gypsy, and his obnoxious sister Helen has found this new sunlight shy boyfriend Kazaf. Now Kazaf got his own problems, he is the last vampire prince, and a prime target. Everything will boil down to a big showdown.Comments: Promises too much and has too high ambition when it tries to stun with spectacular effects that it doesn't has the skill or budget to really pull off. The vampire story is just another pretext for a martial arts movie, but it works as well as any other story. What kills the movie though is the introduction of the character Helen. She gets slightly better as the movie goes along, but by then the damage is already done. She is really annoying, obnoxious and seem to has lost the ability to speak, just going around screaming. She is no better than a petulant three year old. And that's no treat to watch.Jackie Chan, is however, and he saves the movie somewhat, even if he introduces a kind of comedy that doesn't fit with the rest of the movie. But he is fun to watch. But all in all it is an average movie, it is entertaining enough to pass time when nothing else is on, but I wouldn't choose it before anything else.5/10

Masta_Ruthless Wow, just when you thought Blade had a bunch of awesome fights and beautiful choreography, in comes Vampire Effect. This movie was off the chain, beautiful fight scenes and nice special effects. A very good step up for Ekin Cheng, because Tokyo Raiders was terrible.Anyway the storyline was nice as well with the whole potion effect, it he didn't take the potion to reverse the effect he would fully become a vampire. If Blade would have had this kind of action in it as far as fighting, it would have busted the box office wide open. Not saying the Blade had bad action or anything like that. This movie was put together very nicely. So if you are a vampire movie buff, and an even deeper martial arts movie fan, then there in no way in hell that you should not check this movie out.I didn't want to spoil anything but by all means give this movie a try. You will not be disappointed.

Ivan McKeon A vampire prince falls for a human girl, unaware that her brother is a famous vampire hunter. That's the underlying theme of this martial arts romp which borrows ideas from "Underworld" and "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" but manages to maintain a style of its own. I was bemused by the UK and Hong Kong title "The Twins Effect" as there are no twins involved in the story. It turns out that the two main female characters are played by Hong Kong pop stars who perform as "The Twins". Don't let this put you off. These girls can act (at least well enough for this type of film) and add a lot of charm to the proceedings. Jackie Chan turns up for a couple of cameo appearances adding a dash of his own brand of slapstick mayhem to the proceedings. All in all this is great fun for those who like their vampires served up with a helping of tongue-in-cheek humour.

Claudio Carvalho In Hong Kong, Reeve (Ekin Cheng) is a vampire slayer, who belongs to a league that fights against vampires, living with his sister Helen (Charlene Choi). When his partner dies, killed by the powerful vampire Duke Dekotes (Mickey Hardt), Gypsy (Gillian Chung), who has a crush on Reeve, is assigned as a replacement to work with him. Meanwhile Helen falls in love for Kasaf (Edison Chen), a vampire that belongs to a royal family and does not attack human beings. However, the powerful Duke Dekotes is chasing Kasaf to increase his powers. "Chin Gei Bin" is a silly, but also funny vampire adventure / comedy movie. Showing many special effects and a nice cast, the story is not so bad, following basically the idea of Buffy, being watchable and forgettable. I regret only that "Universal" cheats the Brazilian consumers with a huge picture and the name of Jackie Chan on the cover of the DVD released in Brazil. I expected to see a Jackie Chan movie, and in the end his participation is limited to two scenes to give his name to the credits, being the first one of his wedding totally ridiculous. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "A Liga Contra o Mal" ("The League Against Evil")
