The Witches Hammer Overview:

Rebecca is brought back from the brink of death by top secret agency 'Project 571'. She is trained as a lethal assassin and sent on missions to kill that which she has become, a vampire. When Project 571 is destroyed by a gang of vampires, Rebecca is thrown into a quest for an ancient book powerful enough to raise the dead. Rebecca joins two priests on a journey to kill the master vampire Hugo Renoir before he can unleash the grotesque souls of the damned into our dimension. If Hugo is allowed to perform the ancient ceremony the earth shall forever pass into the realm of darkness. Along the way Rebecca must utilise her training to face Vampires, Demons and Witches all vying for the book and its awesome power.

This brings us to the lead actress, Claudia Caulter.....here we have an actress who is incredibly beautiful and can act but is also extremely athletic as her fight scenes are convincing and you actually believe shes this bad ass vampire who can kick some major ass unlike Buffy and some of the other female leads of this type. I'd like to see her involved in more films in the near future and hope she gets the respect she deserves for her performance in this film.

 As far as the fight scenes go they are well done and convincing if not a little overrehearsed, They are all exciting and my personal favorite was the fight between the lead and a weird ninja type character. The action is where this film succeeds. Whenever the film starts to lag, there is a fight scene thrown in which keeps the movie well paced and exciting. If I had to give the film a title as far as genre goes Id have to say Action/Horror.
