this film be actually good than it be be credit for . it number one strength be definitely the skill of lucy lawless ( although it somewhat waste in many emotionally light scene ) and and the script can and at time and be slightly inept . however and it an interesting story with something to say . introduce some very thought provoke theme and idea about the boundary of science and human power and it show a rather creative way in which nature can punish u for our own idiocy . a surprising bonus be the high quality of special effect involve . there really nothing that come off a fake . campy and maybe . but not fake . in the end and this film be satisfy . especially when compare to the vast sea of other make for tv movie and it stand out ahead of the pack . it sequel vampire bat ( while still far from perfect ) and draw on this film strength and build upon them . both movie be worth a watch and and worth owning if you be a fan of lucy .
