Ultraderivative?

Paying attention to context rather than detail, I thought the movie coming out on March 3rd was called “Ultraviolent”. Not quite. The promo material says that Ultraviolet is a

futuristic sci-fi adventure in which a new disease genetically modifies nearly an entire race of people, leaving them with enhanced speed, intelligence, and strength that makes them resemble vampires. Fear among uninfected humans leads to worldwide persecution, bringing the planet to the brink of war between the two “races.”

I take the mention of vampires as a bad sign. And we’ve seen this plot before: it sounds a lot like a combination of X-Men with Kill Bill. But, hey, it could turn out fine.
