Bayne in Vain

We queued up Wolvesbayne (2009) for one reason: Marc Dacascos - known to many as the American Iron Chef. But we like him as a martial arts actor. But I have to guess that the reason it was made was an Asylum-like attempt to cash in on Bloodrayne by matching the title.

Jeremy London is a high-powered businessman who wants to buy Christy Carlson Romano's occult bookstore and tear it down for his development. One night on a lonely road, he stops to help a woman with her car and is attacked by a beast - and soon he develops lycanthropy. He goes back to Romano’s shop, and finds out that she is not only truly occult, but a secret werewolf. But she has learned to control and channel her wolf powers, and can teach him.

Because they, and the whole world, are threatened by vampires! Dacascos is the king of the vampires, looking for ancient amulets to revive the queen, Yancy Butler. Also, there is a van Helsing in there somewhere.

This is all pretty silly SyFy channel stuff, and doesn’t even have any good Dacascos fights. But, hey, we’ve seen worse. We haven’t seen it, but I bet Bloodrayne isn’t any better.
