Got vampires? Who ya gonna call?
Not Bill Murray, or even Wesley Snipes for that matter.
The man for the job is your friendly neighborhood aikido expert, Steven Seagal, that’s who!
Yep, our favorite paunchy, whispering tough guy is back in yet another direct-to-video (or maybe we should say direct-to-DVD these days) effort that’s smashingly titled Against the Dark. Seagal? Vampires? Sounds too cheesy to be true — and judging from the trailer it is — but it’s a combo that seems destined to have me howling, so you can count me in.
The movie seems to be kind of a lazy mish-mash of 28 Days Later and I Am Legend. You know, some mega-plague wipes out most humans leaving only a rag-tag bunch to kick some undead ass. Good thing Seagal is one of them so that the postapocalyptic desolation can provide some (probably unintentional) yuks. “He lives by the sword. They will die by it.” Indeed!
Here’s the trailer.
