Re-hashed

What a woeful film. It starts with the vampire telling his story, obviously if he's there to tell the story, you know nothing's going to happen to him in the end.

He becomes a 'half-vampire' after contemplating suicide, and finding an ad on TV for those contemplating suicide (sigh) with the opportunity to become vampires!!!

He soon becomes caught in the cross-fire between a war between a gang of full-blood vampires and human vampire hunters.

The fight sequences are dull.

The 'sexy' vampires (such as Christa Campbell) never get down beyond their underwear. Tane McClure, at almost 50! Alana Curry doesn't even get to that!

Jeff Rector is the star, the writer, the producer, the executive producer and the director.

The only thing interesting at all in this film is the list of b-grade actors;
Billy Drago (Vamp, the Untouchables)
Fred Williamson (From Dusk till Dawn)
Carel Struycken (star Trek: the Next Generation (as Mr Hom), the Addams Family)
Christa Campbell (Erotic Confessions)
Tane McClure (Bikini Drive-In)
Vernon Wells (Mad Max 2: the Road Warrior)
Sam J. Jones (Flash Gordon)
Anne Lockhart (Battlestar Galactica (as Sheba), Troll)
Jason Carter (Babylon 5 (as Marcus Cole), Demon Under Glass)
Martin Kove (the Karate Kid)

and so on.

Reminiscent of those great old "B" movies

"Revamped" is the story of successful businessman Richard Clark who is bitten by a beautiful vampire and plunged into the dark world of the undead. Richard finds himself fighting for his very existence when he is targeted by a militaristic team of vampire hunters called the S.T.A.K.E. Team. Barely surviving Ricahrd also finds himself the focus of attention by a savage underground gang of vampires called The BLEEDERS. It's a war for survival as Richard is caught between two opposing and ruthless forces -- neither of which intend him any good! Written, directed and produced by Jeff Rector, "Revamped" stars and illustrious cast of gifted actors that includes Christa Campbell, Martin Kove, Fred Williamson, Tane mcClure, Victor Lundin, Sam Jones, Carel Struycken; Billy Drago, Alana Curry, Mickey Jones, Ann Lockhart, Deron McBee, Vernon Wells, Jason Carter, Paul Michael Robinson, David 'Shark' Fralick, Reggie Bannister, Spice Williams-Crosby, Raye Hollitt, Kato Kaelin, R.A. Mihailoff, Dennis hayden, and Dennis Haskins. With a total running time of 90 minutes, "Revamped" is reminiscent of those great old "B" movies that were the basic fodder of drive-in theaters, a comedic action horror film that is terrific good fun and highly recommended for both personal and community library DVD collections.
