Review of Rise: Blood Hunter, aired on Syfy:
- Rise: Blood Hunter is a fascinating surprise of a movie that airs on the Syfy channel. It may not have pulled huge numbers at the box office when it opened in 2007, but for a movie that airs on Syfy, it’s one of their better fare.
It stars Lucy Liu as Sadie Blake, Michael Chiklis as Clyde Rawlins, & James Darcy as Bishop. And keep your eyes out, and you’ll even catch Nick Lachey.
It was directed (and written) by Sebastian Gutierrez (Girl Walks Into a Bar, Elektra Luxx).

Basically, it’s about a reporter (Liu) who pursues a story so aggressively that she wakes up in the morgue to discover she’s a vampire. She struggles with her new condition and finds that being a vampire doesn’t agree with her. She finds herself under the wing of an old wise one who trains her how to deal with things and then she spends her time hunting down the vampire that turned her into one (Darcy).

TV Ratings Info
.
I was wondering how No Ordinary Family did in the TV ratings department with their series & season premiere and for the moment, this smart superhero genre series pulled in an amazing set of numbers:
By the end of the episode they were well over 12 million estimated viewers having tuned in! I think in part, because of the cast, that includes Michael Chiklis and Julie Benz and maybe even Stephen Collins. Regardless, it did just fine and if the story doesn’t have too many weak plot points, may do well in the long. Check out my Review of No Ordinary Family and see what I had to say about it.

Stargate Universe Ratings

Stargate Universe returned with a smart episode that could land it some new fans and at least kept this long-time fan interested enough to forget just how far off the beaten Stargate path they’ve come with this series.
The season premiere of SGU pulled in just over 1.1 million viewers.
