Subspecies V: Bloodrise. 2023.
Charles Band And Ted Nicolau return to the franchise with Romanian Vampire Radu, this time showing how he became a vampire. Yeah it does have a feel of Dracula to it, growing up becoming a knight and battling a crusade, this time our vampire has no incline on his family.
Anders Hove returns as Radu both human and vampire, it was 20 odd years since he last played the character and feels like he never left and certainly warms into the persona of the creature of night perfectly. Filmed in Serbia and using the location for Romania with great set pieces and cinematography, you really cant tell much difference. Is it enjoyable, yes it is. A worthy entry into the franchise? I would say it was. If you liked the previous films check this one out.
