Blade: House of Chthon (2006)

From the very beginning it was weird to see Sticky Fingaz instead of Wesley Snipes, but once you get used to it, "Blade" becomes quite entertaining show. It's sequel to the movie franchise and has pretty good plot that pulls you in and it's a shame it was canceled after single season. There's no bigger flaws to brag about, but it also doesn't have any outstanding qualities. Just an average Marvel that will bring joy to Blade fans and mediocre for the rest of us.6/10

I love the three Blade movies. I decided that I might give this TV show a shot. First of all I have read some of the previous reviews comparing this show to Buffy, Angel and Supernatural. Try and do that, of course you're going to hate the series.One minor complaint that I do have is where are the other characters? Make Morbius have a guest appearance because the only thing close to another character from the comics appearing on the show was a mention of Moon Knight in the pilot ("my colleague Marc Spector's area of expertise"). If you're going to include new characters then that's completely fine, but I want other Marvel characters aside from Blade.Also Kirk Jones (Sticky Fingaz) does NOT have the screen presence of Wesley Snipes playing Blade. If you walk in expecting Snipes from Fingaz then please, don't even look at it. Fingaz does a decent job but he is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ON SNIPES.This show will be worth your time. The actors are good, as is the writing. The show is low-budget (even more so than something like Lost Girl) which is a reason why you shouldn't go comparing it to something like Buffy or Angel for that matter. If you know what to expect you'll like it. However, if you do like it then don't expect a closed plot line (I HATE how many cancelled TV shows I have watched end on an open plot line).

Who the hell was Jill Wagner screwing behind the scenes? That's all I want to know. Because that is the ONLY conceivable reason that this series focused so entirely on her character instead of Blade who had absolutely no airtime by comparison.Every time they created a long term villain for Blade, they got rid of it within an episode or two with a combined time of around 10 minutes so they could have more time telling us how confused Krista's character was. When they made vampire ash a drug that gave users a short burst of vampiric powers, the dealer was caught and beaten within the first 5 minutes. How dramatic. They went from acknowledging the drug in the previous episode and with no backstory or character development, they simply demolished the creator and sole pusher of the drug before the opening credits finished rolling on the next episode.PA. THE. TIC.Let's face it, this series was about a morally confused and charismatic vampire with perky tits who was great at throwing the look of worry and confusion around a lot so that she could suck in the Buffy and Angel fans. There were a lot of rumors that said Sticky Fingers couldn't act. Well we can't honestly know, we never got a chance to see the character in action. The only other character that was remotely interesting was Agent Ray Collins who was slowly coming to grips with the reality of vampires when they decided to kill the character needlessly and ultimately granted him no more relevance than an extra.The producers of this series should be embarrassed. Better yet, they should have stakes driven through their hearts. If you can find them. I'm not yet willing to blame the directors or the writers because I can't imagine how or why any writer would intentionally ignore the title character so completely like that for 12 solid episodes.

this show was awesome. i do not understand how spike TV could have canceled this excellent show. it was awesome to see blade kick vampire butt every week. the show really hooked u from beginning to end. i never missed an episode and was so upset when i heard it was canceled. i stopped watching spike TV ever since because all these networks want are so called reality shows and take off excellent thriller/drama shows that actually have a plot. i am so happy the DVD of the series is coming out as i will be the first in line to buy it. it has been long overdue. i hope maybe the sci-fi network will buy the rights the the show and start running it again and maybe make new episodes because spike TV never even ran rerun episodes.
