Rise: Blood Hunter is a 2007 horror/thriller film directed by Sebastian Gutierrez. It is a Samuel Goldwyn Films release. Rise is a supernatural thriller in which a reporter (Liu) wakes up in a morgue to discover she is now a vampire. She vows revenge against the vampire group responsible for her situation and hunts them down one by one. Chiklis plays "Rawlins," a haunted police detective whose daughter is killed by the same group and seeks answers for her gruesome death. Producer Sam Raimi confirmed that a sequel is in development with Ben Katai writing the script though he is unsure if Liu or Chiklis will reprise their roles.
This was Mako (I)'s last live action film. TMNT (2007) used recorded dialog Mako had performed, making it a voiceover role.
