Sid Haig: King of Vampires




BROTHERHOOD OF BLOOD-2007-Vampire hunters (lead by Jason Connery and Victoria Pratt) fight vampires in another weird, full of itself torture-horror-bullshit. Vampires whisper a lot and people get killed. There are some scenes (including DAWN OF THE DEAD's Ken Foree) where the hunters torture the vampires in a switcheroo from the usual garbage. The only real highlight is Sid Haig as the ranting old vampire leader (with too many fangs in his mouth) who fears his deceased (?) undead brother Vlad Kossei has been resurrected and wants revenge. 

The movie's two directors Micheal Roesch and Peter Scheerer later teamed for ALONE IN THE DARK II.

A Review at Lightspeed



I'm posting this one very quickly and mostly from memory. May contain errors....



STAN LEE'S LIGHTSPEED-2006-Made for Sci-Fi Channel rip-off of "The Flash" with a little "Ultra-Man" thrown in. Lee was one of the executive producers.


After being caught in an explosion a special agent (Jason Connery) gains the power to run at...well...lightspeed! He's also part of a special forces group called "The Ghost Hunters", led by Lee Majors but no one but his girlfriend (Nicole Eggert) knows his secret. Their foe is a hissing reptillian half human (Daniel Goddard from THE BEASTMASTER TV show)) who's experiments with snakes and skin grafts went awry. The climax goes on forever in this quickly made cheapie.

Camera operator and cinematographer turned director Don E. FauntLeroy later made ADACONDA 3 and 4.
