China Blood: The Last Vampire is a China–Hong Kong and Japan co-production — one of only a handful of such cross-border film titles indexed here.
Synopsis
“Where evil grows, she preys.”
On the surface, Saya is a stunning 16-year-old, but that youthful exterior hides the tormented soul of a 400-year-old "halfling". Born to a human father and a vampire mother, she has for centuries been a loner obsessed with using her samurai skills to rid the world of vampires, all the while knowing that she herself can survive only on blood like those she hunts.
