Cult Mexican horror Director Gillermo del Toro (Mimic, The Devils Backbone) ramps up the action and the special effect in this thrilling sequel to the hit movie based on the classic Marvel comic.

Wesley Snipes returns as the half human, half vampire action hero who is consumed by a desire to avenge the curse of his birth and save the human race from a blood-drenched Armageddon.

And Kris Kristofferson is back as Whistler, his grizzled mentor and weapons master who has now developed a serum that allows Blade to walk in daylight.

This time, Blade is pitted against a raft of skin crawling new enemies, and forced to create an uneasy alliance with his former nemesis - the undead overlord Damaskinos.

Together they must defeat a new breed of foe - a super-race of vampiric night crawlers know as the Reapers. Blood-soaked, gore-intense and proceeding at the pace of a silver bullet, Blade 2 combines neo-noir adventure with the acrobatic mayhem of a Hong Kong action film...

Its a terrifying sinister journey into the darkness and evil that marks a new advance in the world of special effects.
