Priest (2011) is a post-apocalyptic action horror film directed by Scott Charles Stewart and based on the Korean graphic novel of the same name by Hyung Min-woo. The movie blends supernatural elements, vampire mythology, and dystopian science fiction to create a dark and gritty world where humanity is on the brink of extinction.

Set in a future where a long-standing war between humans and vampires has ravaged the world, Priest follows Priest (played by Paul Bettany), a former warrior priest who is part of an elite group of knights trained to fight vampires. After a brutal war in which vampires nearly wiped out humanity, the Church which is now the dominant global power has taken control, enforcing strict laws and eliminating vampire threats. Priest has distanced himself from his violent past, living a quiet life in a walled-off, oppressive society.

However, when his niece, Lucy (played by Lily Collins), is kidnapped by a band of vampires, Priest is forced to return to his old ways. Despite being a member of the Church’s “order,” the Priest is no longer allowed to use his combat skills or his knowledge of vampire hunting. Driven by the desire to save Lucy, Priest sets out on a journey to rescue her, joined by Hicks (played by Cam Gigandet), a rebellious sheriff and former lover of Lucy, and a fellow warrior named Ch Priestess (played by Maggie Q).

The trio pursues the vampires across a dangerous, wasteland-like landscape filled with mutant creatures and decaying cities. As they close in on Lucy’s captors, they discover a sinister plot by Black Hat (played by Karl Urban), a powerful and rogue former Priest who has become the leader of a vampire army. Black Hat is determined to bring about the return of an ancient vampire queen, and the Priest must confront him in a final showdown to stop the resurgence of the vampire menace.
