I was a bit disappointed to be honest. It felt very much like a cheap manga to movie just for the sake of a profit type deal. The effects were nice and the style of the vampires was pretty cool. I liked the angle of vampires simply being another species rather than a supernatural curse. But that was ruined then when the big bad guy was a regular human vampire.
I realize that he was the main evil character to create extra conflict between the Priest and himself since the Priest wasnt able to save him and all that but surely the Queen vampire could have made some appearance.
The best part of the movie for me was the cartoon cut-sequence that set up the backstory. The whole movie would have been better as a manga style cartoon probably.
The setting was pretty cool. I love the whole post apocalyptic judge dread meets wild west thing they had going on.
Too much religion in it aswell but you can harldy fault a movie called "Priest" for that.

Haven't watched it yet. Weekend ended up being taken up by parental visit yesterday, and lots of being too lazy to even move today. Exam rush has kinda gotten in the way of the movie watching, but they'll be over on Saturday. After that I quite fancy the idea of a movie night each week and will be better about it.
