In the darkly gothic universe of "Blade," a half-vampire, half-mortal man named Eric Brooks, aka Blade, is humanity's only hope against an underground army of vampires. Armed with his martial arts skills and an arsenal of vampire-killing weapons, Blade takes on the charismatic and ruthless Deacon Frost, who seeks to command a ritual that will awaken the "blood god" La Magra and bring about a new era of vampiric dominance.
