Reception
[edit]Dennis Harvey of Variety described it as "a solemnly silly mashup of ideas from Blade, Batman and Sin City" that genre fans may enjoy as "a passable guilty pleasure".[6] John DeFore wrote in The Hollywood Reporter that it "sometimes briefly achieves that rare feat, of being so terrible it entertains", though he said it is frequently boring or offensive.[7] At Dread Central, Matt Boiselle rated it 2.5/5 stars and called it "a poor-man’s Blade" that has too many boring lulls in its action.[8]
