I picked up Vampire Wars Battle for the Universe at the local used media store in order to burn some of the credit I accumulated while clearing off my bookshelves. Essentially, it was free.
So I guess it was worth what I paid for it.
Turns out it was a SciFi channel original, original being one of those loaded terms.
It felt like someone at SciFi had watched Firefly a couple of times and thought "Yeah, that was good, but you know what it needs? Vampires."
There are vampires out there in space, and the V-San (vampire Sanitation) teams are tasked with hunting them down. There's got the paint by numbers crew, handsome captain, loyal teammates, enigmatic special team member-half vampire half human hunter, and a bad guy who's EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEvil, played by Michael Ironside.
Despite the made for tv pedigree, it does suffer some budget constraints- most notably daytime filming. Not oldschool day for night filter filming, but actualy sun's shining but these are SciFi vampires so they can go out during the day.
A good way to kill a couple of hours if you don't have to pay too much for it.
