Blade 2 ★★ 2002 (R)

Sequel takes the more, more, more approach—more vampires, more battles, more gore. Half vampire, half-human daywalker Blade (Snipes at his coolest) first rescues mentor Whistler (Kristofferson) from the vamps who have been holding him prisoner Then, he's offered a truce by vampire overload Damaskinos (Kretschmann) who needs Blade to hunt an even more deadly enemy. The rat-like Reapers feed on both humans and vampires and their bite turns their victims into insatiable bloodsuckers themselves. Of course, as Blade goes a huntin', he discovers the situation isn't as clear-cut as it seems. 116m/C VHS, DVD .
