Priest (2011)


Synopsis

In the past, the war between humans and vampires has devastated the world. The Church created an elite spiritual warrior organization, dubbed "Priests", who were capable of slaying vampires. The majority of the vampires were killed while the remainder were placed in reservations. The Church created isolated, heavily guarded cities. No longer needing the Priests' services, and fearing their own weapon, the Church disbanded them. Outside the cities humans live free from the totalitarian control of the Church.
One day, a Priest is approached by Hicks, the sheriff of a nearby town. Hicks tells him that his brother Owen was mortally wounded and his sister-in-law and ex-girlfriend Shannon were killed by vampires and Priest's niece, Lucy, was kidnapped. Hicks asks for Priest's assistance in tracking down Lucy. Priest goes against the wishes of Monsignor Orelas, the Church's leader, to do so. Monsignor Orelas then sends a group of four Priests led by Priestess to capture him and bring him back, dead or alive.
After saying goodbye to his dying brother, Priest and Hicks arrive at a human but vampire friendly reservation, where they discover that the vampires have taken shelter in Sola Mira, a vampire hive where Priest lost several of his comrade Priests in a botched mission. There, they are joined by Priestess, who decides to help him because she is in love with him. The group discover that the vampires are using trains to travel, slowly amassing a new army and intending to attack the Priest's city and destroying the Church. They also discover that the inhabitants of Sola Mira had tunneled to the city of Jericho, where the other three Priests had been dispatched by Priestess.
Once in Jericho, the other three Priests are soon confronted by Black Hat, who was one of the Priests who was thought to have been killed in the botched mission at Sola Mira. Black Hat asks the three Priests to become one with the vampire family and kills them when they refuse, leaving their bodies to hang on crosses. Black Hat and his army of vampires then proceed to slaughter the entire town. After Priest, Priestess, and Hicks find the corpses of the three Priests, they discover Black Hat's trail and follow him, eventually catching up to his train along with the other vampires.
While Priestess plants a bomb on the railroad tracks in order to stop the train, Priest and Hicks board the train and confront Black Hat and the vampires and familiars (people infected with a pathogen that makes them subservient to the vampires). Black Hat overpowers both Priest and Hicks. Black Hat reveals that the vampire Queen gave him her blood, turning him into the first vampire-human hybrid. He asks Priest to join him. Priest refuses and fights Black Hat, who reveals the truth of Lucy's parentage to the girl. After the explosives are damaged in a fight with the familiars, Priestess straps the bomb to her motorcycle and crashes it into the train. The explosion kills the vampires and seemingly engulfs Black Hat, but Hicks, Priest, Priestess and Lucy are able to escape.
Priest returns to the city and confronts Monsignor Orelas, telling him of the burnt train containing the vampires' bodies, which he proves by throwing a vampire head onto the floor. Monsignor Orelas believes that the war is over and Priest's proof is trickery, Priest tells him that it's just beginning. Monsignor Orelas and Priest are at odds with each other when Priest leaves and Priest refuses to even listen to Monsignor Orelas as he walks out. Once he leaves the city and meets with Priestess, she reveals that the other Priests have been notified and will meet them at a rendezvous. Priest sets off into the sunset to later meet up with other priests.
