Blade

Stephen Norrington

1998

120 min Uncut region 1 d.v.d.

U.K. Version 115m 17sec

Cuts ?? or just difference between pal and ntsc??

Fantastic modern slice and dice movie with enough action in the first ten minutes to satisfy any action film fan, gore content is refreshingly high for a mainstream film with tons of computer generated beheadings and impalings going on.

Blade is a half human half vampire mix who can walk freely in daylight but is in a constant battle against his vampire cravings, his mission in life is to search out and destroy vampires in the hope of ridding the world of them, sounds corny I know but it works great in this film with Wesley Snipes giving a great performance as Blade. Special credit must go to the opening sequence which is classic action cinema and a must see for any horror fan.I own it on both video and d.v.d. and can say it stands out as true proof that d.v.d. really is the only way to appreciate it in it's full glory, after seeing it on d.v.d. the video has been made redundant. The extras alone are reason enough to get it. I only have the region 2 version which has less extras but is still a great package, get it and pray the sequel lives up to this comic book inspired classic.
