Crosswicking.

Added DiffLines:

* NotUsingTheZWord: The word "vampire" is never uttered in the film to describe the cult of undead blood drinkers. That's why most people who saw the trailer thought it was about some sort of ''Series/PushingDaisies''-esque zombie or something.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Vampires are almost indistinguishable from humans physically--they don't even have fangs, which makes feeding very messy. (They tend to slash throats with a blade if possible, but at one point Sadie [Liu's character] has to chew through a victim's skin.) Their biological functions are less than clear--one minion of a vampire tries to suffocate Sadie with a plastic bag, and seems to be succeeding. (Also you'd think he'd know better if it didn't work.) However, getting shot has little effect except pain, and Sadie survives a fall from a bridge into traffic, though she's beaten up very badly. Vampires have a powerful sense of smell, and seem to be a little stronger and faster than humans, but not very much so; they can't break handcuffs, and it takes several blows to break a locked door. They die from crossbow bolts (presumably wooden) to the heart [[spoiler: except Sadie, who survives one]].
* VampireBitesSuck: The movie features vampires who [[OurVampiresAreDifferent don't have fangs]], so they wear tiny blades around their necks just to tear huge gushing holes in the necks of their victims.
* VampireRefugee: Though Sadie is very determined to get revenge for her unwilling (and unplanned) vampirisation on the bloodsuckers of L.A., she slips when it comes to feeding on a poor schlub offering her a lift.
