The quid pro quo is that Abe will kill only those vampires that Henry directs him to.

Review:

Okay, I admit it I put off watching this one for a few years. To me just the title alone sounded stupid to me. I was wrong (don't judge a book by its cover). The story is solid, action is on point (more than most horror) & the actors are great, not to mention the special effects. I cannot say alot about this movie without spoilers so I will just highly recommend this to all movie enthusiasts out there.
