Night Patrol! It's pretty bad but...look at the name. Look at the cover! It's a bad movie. I enjoyed Night Patrol though it required a healthy dose of the skip forward 10 seconds button. Kind of goes off the rails and tries to...tie it all together with daddy vampires and revenge. It's all quite dumb and simple and about that scene where that guy tries on all the axes. That guy is the best and for all the preparations, there should have been more meaningful combat. Instead it's just bloodvision, vats and dudes walking around prepared to fight demons but also completely unprepared. Cool scene when the cops come in but...none of it matters because they wrote a bunch of extra garbage and we need to sit there and be told over and over again that night patrol are evil vampires who stockpile blood. Like why not have a scene where a vampire gets caught between two magic things and then you kill them with the cool guy and his gang. Then they lose a guy in a horrific scene but ultimately get revenge when that same vampire walks right into another of their traps. Maybe that happened when I was skipping but I don't think it did.
