A woman who joins the undead against her will seeks vengeance against the ghouls who transformed her in this
thriller.
Sadie Blake (
Lucy Liu) is a journalist who becomes acquainted with a group of beautiful but doomstruck partiers while following a story, led by the charismatic
Bishop (
James D'Arcy). While
Sadie is taken with
Bishop's good looks and sinister charm, she senses there's something dangerous about him, but it's not until she wakes up in the city morgue that she learns his secret --
Bishop is a vampire, and
Sadie has joined his underlings as one of the undead. Angry and betrayed,
Sadie is determined to stop
Bishop and his compatriots, and she prowls the city with bow and arrow, ready to stake them from a distance when she spies them.
Sadie finds an unlikely ally in her crusade in
Detective Rawlins (
Michael Chiklis), a police investigator whose daughter was transformed into a night creature by
Bishop. However,
Sadie is finding it increasingly difficult to resist her growing thirst for the blood of the living, becoming the sort of being she has grown to hate. Also featuring
Carla Gugino,
Robert Forster, and
Nick Lachey,
Rise: Blood Hunter received its world premiere with a special midnight screening at the
2007 Tribeca Film Festival.
