    Steven Segal is in it. Thought it might be cool. but that isn?t the only thing that?s wrong about this movie! 1st. Segal is no longer a action movie star. He?s what like Harrison Ford age? Either retire or start to do something that?s not action cause ooh he whips a sword aroun...( read more)d but he doesn?t do all the other ?juggling? he used to do with them! Some other dude was the one doing all the stuff Segal SHOULD have been!! 2. This is NOT a vampire movie. it says vampires but Honey Last I checked I do not eat flesh of human!!! Wait a minute I went a little over the top. they?re not actually eating the outer layer (as far as I have noticed) but they were eating intestine, organs etc. & well nobel as most of us Vamps are? I know there are some off breeds (which also have their OWN names & distinctions) that might like this but Do NOT insult my kind with that of GHOULS! & These are ghouls in this movie! (at least there were no little bambinos. The acting was ok. Maybe a little idiotic at times unless its on sci-fi channel don?t bother. Cause its just sad to see Segal not being his former self. (I?m getting too old) D

    Not bad, not great. Overall, Against the Dark is just a pitifully low-budget ripoff of Blade, and there are plenty of those to go around. The "vampires" look, behave, and spread infection like zombies, but watching Steven Seagal cut them down with a katana is fun anyway (for th...( read more)e few scenes he's actually in the movie, anyway). Of course, the dialogue is bad, the acting is flat, the characters are hard to identify with, and the plot goes nowhere, but this film isn't meant to be intelligent. The important thing is that the fight scenes and gore are decent, although the Steven's magical katana manages to kill in a suspiciously bloodless manner. If you're up for something silly and mindlessly violent, you can't go too wrong here.

    Total rip of many other better films, copycat almost.
    Virus that causes blood craving zombie vampires spreads and infects many, enter group of Seagal led leather trench coat wearing hard nuts, Steven Seagal saves the world, the end.

    (oh and Seagal has a bloody stupid name...Tao)

    A different kind of vehicle for Seagal as he plays Tao a Katana master who leads a squad of vigilantes on a mission to massacre a vicous bunch of vampires.The post apocalyptic setting sets the stage for some good action and thrills but not enough screen time for Steven

    SEAGAL KEEPS GETTING WORSE, HORRIBLE ACTING AND THE OBVIOUS SETUP FOR KILLS IS RIDICULOUS.

    I still don't see how some of the reviews on here are greater than 1 whole star. This movie made me laugh so hard at the horrible production work and 10 minutes of Steven Seagal walking around cupping a sword in his hands.

    Seagal's a fucking whale. Who wants to see the fatass in action these days? Honestly?
