Rise: Blood Hunter Full Movie Hd 720p Free Download-----------------------------------------DOWNLOAD: http://urllio.com/qyt27 -----------------------------------------A reporter wakes up in a morgue and finds herself a member of the undead, before vowing revenge against the sect which put her there.The snoopy reporter Sadie Blake is called by her nerd colleague Ethan Mills that has deciphered a code and found an address in Koreatown from information of the Goth Tricia Rawlins about a bloody cult. Sadie does not give attention to Ethan, but when she sees on the front page of the news that Tricia has been found dead in a dumpster in Koreatown, she decides to visit the address. She finds an abandoned house with a gruesome basement full of blood and she immediately drives to Ethan's apartment. She finds the place in a complete mess and is abducted by a stranger and taken to Bishop, who wants to know what Tricia has told her. Then, Bishop and his mate Eve kill Sadie and they have a necrophilic threesome with her body. Later, Sadie awakes in the freezer of the morgue and sooner she realizes that she is a vampire and promises revenge to her sire.I just saw this at the Tribeca Film Festival and I have to say that the movie wasn't all too bad. It was very formulaic and predictable, but still entertaining to a decent degree. It's take on vampires was slightly different, in that the vampires don't have fangs or have a weakness to sunlight, they just kill and drink blood. For a low budget movie that will probably go straight to DVD here in the US, it will be worth a rental - especially in that Lucy Liu bares her boobage in numerous scenes.
Carla Gugino is in the movie and sat a row in front of us at the screening in Chelsea. Holy schnikey's she has one smoking body... let's hope she sticks around as Amanda in Entourage for a few more episodes.(In this comment I try to focus on the movie as a work. When you judge my comments please sent me a message to tell me what and why as I can then work to improve the comments)
Rise is not an ordinary vampire movie. I expected it to be one as the text on the DVD hinted at this. But the word vampire is never used and the persons afflicted by the condition never show fangs or fall to pieces in the sunlight. Yet on the other hand some vampire signs are on evidence: the dependency on blood, the fact that they don't cast a reflection in the mirror and that the afflicted are uncommon strong and resilient. What is different is that the movie spends time on how Liu feels when she finds out that she has become a thing of the night, forever barred from normal live.
At heart rise is a revenge movie. Lucy Liu is a reporter who is killed when her investigation set her on the trail of a weird sect. These people turn out to be a sort of vampires and Liu becomes one of their victims. Liu however rises from the dead(hence the title)as one of the creatures and hunts them down one by one.
Woven into the revenge story is the story of Chiklis who plays a police cop whose daughter got the same treatment as Liu. He is hot on the trail of both Liu and the top bad guy, either in the hope to find his daughter or find out what happened to her.
At the end both stories interconnect as Chiklis catches up with Liu and face each other and finally the top bad guy.
The choice of having both stories into the movie makes the revenge story more intricate as Chiklis as 'normal' human can as well help Liu as sabotage her desires. In this way also him being a cop is at odds with him being a concerned father.
The story itself plays at night, in dark and usually uncomfortable places(I use this word as this is what all these places are meant to be). This is also interesting as it illustrates how Liu's world has suddenly become estranged.
The story is mostly made up out of one-on-one confrontations that exist mostly out of conversations. The camera is close to the person and shots are medium and close up mostly. The fight scenes are short and unspectacular: most are more like executions.
The story itself is easy to follow, yet at some turns one wonders about the choices made. Liu comes in contact with someone called the alchemist who has been usurped by the leader of the weird vampiric sect. He gives her a small crossbow with which she kills all the others, yet seen doesn't turn on him. Also the choice of the crossbow feels odd as it's such an unhandy weapon to use in a fight. The killings of their victims by the vampiric sect are strangely bloody, with bodies and surrounding furniture covered by blood and blood splashing and spraying everywhere. It somehow doesn't fit in with the mood of the movie, certainly as compared to the subdued fighting scenes. It seems as if at regular intervals the movie needed to interrupted by a horror scene.
It is a common thing that 'vampire' movies are associated with seduction. In Rise this is downplayed. Liu herself seduces one(well she actually more or less jumps her victim). In all the other cases seduction seems more or less a side story then a pivotal event.
Acting is reasonable but it loses at the point where the script seems to bare the actors from playing out their role. Liu seems to be shocked at first time and there are some tears when she realizes what she has become. But you would expect someone to show more emotions after she has been brutally murdered and risen from the grave: just some sign of mental stress beyond the anger Liu displays. Also Liu is somewhat too certain she needs to kill herself. Liu lacks things like doubt, uncertainty and fear. She show mostly anger. Chiklis also does not a really great job when he moment of truth comes as he is confronted by his daughter turned-vampire. She pulls a gun out and shouts abuses at him and he is quite emotionless. Nor is he in doubt once Liu has shown him that she can't be seen in the mirror. This latter seems actually a plot device that is needed to convince Chiklis of Liu's condition. I found it so unfitting as everything else vampiric is merely hinted at and then suddenly this inescapable proof is offered.
Rise makes me think of The Brave One. Both involve women who undergo a traumatic experience that changes their world forever and exact revenge on perpetrators that are the cause of the change. But where Jodie Foster convinces in the role of a woman that suffers a lot and who's action are in tune with her person and experiences, Liu fails to convince as she mostly displays anger. Her change from an reporter into a determined one-woman-murder-squad leaves enough to desire. The movie seems neither fish nor foul: for those people who expect another underworld there is not enough fighting, beauty and sensuality. For those who like movies like the brave one, there is just not enough reality in the movie. The gory bloody scenes are in either case misplaced.
Rise is a reasonable movie that I think could have been better if the creators had decided either to infuse more of the fantastic or if they had introduce more of the realistic. They could probably have played out the break between her normal life and her undead life better. Nevertheless a interesting vampire movie.Rise aka Rise: Blood Hunter is based on a script by director Sebastian Gutierrez. The characters share the last name, this is true, and they are both vampire hunters, but most viewers who are familiar with the movie as well as with LKH's books claim that that's where the similarity ends. In the Anita Blake series, Anita isn't bitten for quite some time into the series. She lives in a society where vampirism is legal and can be attained legally at the age of 18. She doesn't go hunting the vampires unless she has a court order to do so, and the vampires that she does kill without a court order have usually attacked her first. Unlike Anita Blake, Sadie Blake doesn't bring corpses back to life by using her necromancy powers nor does she work with any special police task force designed to handle supernatural problems. Anita is strong-willed and defiant since page one while Sadie didn't seem to get aggressive until she realized what she has become. It's possible that writer/director Sebastian Gutierrez could have been inspired by the books of Laurell K. Hamilton and tried to pay homage by giving his character the same last name, but any similarity ends there. No reason was given in the movie, and director Sebastian Gutierrez has not explained why he hired an Asian actress (Lucy Liu) to play the role of Sadie Blake. Viewers who have pondered this question have offered several possibilities, including: (1) Sadie's mother (who is depicted as Asian in the movie) married a non-Asian or part-Asian man surnamed Blake, (2) Sadie was adopted, (3) Sadie's parents changed their surname when they came to America, and (4) it was Sadie's pen name at the L.A. Weekly office, where she worked as a reporter. Yes it is. In authentic vampire lore, i.e., from ancient and medieval times, vampires could be up during the daylight hours. In some gypsy vampire lore, in fact, the vampire (or "mulo") was thought to be most active at noon. Even in fiction, Dracula didn't need to sleep during the day and could actively walk outside in the sunlight. So could Carmilla. The whole vampires-burn-up-in-the-sun thing started in Nosferatu (1922). It is not part of real vampire lore. Yes, he is. He plays a nameless bartender who aids Sadie Blake when she goes looking for the vampires who murdered and turned her. This is actually his second last film. Prior to his death in 2006, Mako provided his voice for Master Splinter in TMNT (2007) (2007). He also did the voice for Uncle Iroh in the Avatar: The Last Airbender (2003) TV series. The movie was rated R for theaters. On DVD, not only the R-rated version (97 minutes) but also the unrated version (122 minutes) was released. The huge difference implies bigger differences and watching it more closely, it's not just that. There are much more differences than only the running time. Basically one can say that the movie has been entirely new edited. There are many tiny differences like alternate shots, scene extensions etc. It's quite interesting to see how many really short scenes have been removed for the R-rated version to reduce its length. Shots have been shortened and parts of the dialogs have been removed as well, only the bare necessities are still in. Furthermore the order of the scenes has been changed. Where the R-rated version was almost chronological, the unrated version has become less chronological, due to the narration via flashbacks. Moreover each of the versions contains footage which isn't in the other version. The term "unrated" is better for advertising, but for this movie, it could also be considered as Director's Cut. a5c7b9f00b https://disqus.com/home/discussion/channel-campaiverflighra/battle_of_the_zords_in_hindi_free_download/ http://naicentteso.guildwork.com/forum/threads/5ba081b5002aa82e15ab21c6-something-fishy-full-movie-download-mp4 http://www.nookl.com/article/315123/shadow-hearts-covenant-movie-in-hindi-free-download https://pastebin.com/A4hKwuP1 http://aroutcy.jugem.jp/?eid=288 https://diigo.com/0d69sa http://esperformfc.guildwork.com/forum/threads/5ba081b4002aa82e15ab21c4-malayalam-movie-download-totally-baked http://fotoathena.ning.com/profiles/blogs/episode-1-1-in-hindi-720p http://paycupar.yolasite.com/resources/Derelict-full-movie-720p-download.pdf https://pastebin.com/5RKBunXM
