Escape From Vampire Island

When young Akira (Hideo Ishiquro) finds out that his missing brother is actually being held captive on a remote island, he bands together with his friends to rescue him. Akira soon discovers that his brother isn’t a prisoner; he’s actually on the island trying to defeat an army of blood-thirsty vampires bent on destroying the world. What follows is 90 minutes of martial arts mayhem as Akira and his crew hack and slash their way through the vampires to get at their leader. Director Tae-gyun Kim has a stylish eye when it comes to directing the action scenes in the movie, and he sure isn’t shy about spattering the blood and gore around. At more than two hours, though, it’s almost too much of a good thing.
