Death Machine (1995)
Directed by Stephen Norrington
Chaank Armaments is experimenting with the ultimate fighting machine which is part human - part machine. So far, the Hardman project has been unreliable and has killed a number of innocent people. The genius behind this project is Jack who lives in a world of models, toys and magazines. When he is fired by Cale for killing a few corporate officers, he unleashes the ultimate killing machine called the 'Warbeast' against Cale and those who would help her.

What critics compared Death Machine to
Screenwriter David Goyer ("Dark City") and director Stephen Norrington ("Death Machine") draw Blade as a good-guy quasi-vampire with some super-powers, who has to be given hefty doses of blue serum to curb his ever-increasing blood lust.
Norrington, whose only other film credit is a 1995 junker called "Death Machine," does give the picture a distinctive look, with dark, industrial nights, washed-out daylight and sped-up photography style that lends an extrinsic, vampires-eye-view to part of the action.
Director Stephen Norrington ("Death Machine") sets a grinding pace that's amplified by Blade (Wesley Snipes), the stone-faced half-vampire, half-human hero.
With the able help of British director Stephen Norrington (previously best known for his straight-to-video debut, the no-budget opus Death Machine), Snipes and screenwriter David S. Goyer sketch a jittery, paranoid world controlled by two secretive, ruthless, highly class-conscious types of bloodsuckers.
