Bloodthirst

OMG! Full disclosure: I only watched this to see how bad Tara Reid looks these days.

It's a train wreck of a movie.

Funny-talking, post apocalyptic, vampires wander the Earth in broad daylight biting people left and right willy nilly.

There are fight scenes that are totally laughable. The movie appears to be shot as if it was direct to video (dunno). The acting is quite simply horrible, but then the story-line is idiotic. Some guy dressed in an Australian coat with a three dollar mask hunts the vampire but no one else seems to know they can fight back with a stake. Also, for some reason it appears you can kill them with a shotgun.

I'll admit I had low expectations for this one but man-o-man did it come in even lower.

Why someone put money into backing this is beyond me.

Oh, and BTW Tara Reid looks like she was drinking something other than blood in this one.

Ignore the 9 and 10 ratings reviews. This film is an absolute bore 'n snore! From the acting, dialogue to the story overall, it is a MASSIVE failure. I don't know what the other reviewers were on, or if they were part of the cast and crew, however, their attempts to lure you into watching this drivel is so good that you just want to give it a try. NO! STOP! DON'T!

A waste of time and energy! There may have been an energy vampire around to such you dry why trying your very best to like this film.

Once again I cannot help wonder why people spend money making such awful films.

Avoid at all costs! You have been warned!

This movie is horrible, the acting and the special effects. What a waste of talent. Costas Mandylor, Tara Reid, and the B horror movie King Robert Lasardo. The movie centers on an apocalyptic world run by Vampires, Mandylor Character is John Shepard a vampire hunter. He tracks down vampires in order to eliminate the master. We seen it all before, but at a much grand scale, as I said earlier this movie is very amatuerish. The acting and special effects. It was definitely wasted time spent. Watch John Carpenters Vampires instead or Near Dark. Two great vampire classics. Tara Reid needs a good comeback and this isnt it.

What's with the "1" ratings? Very few films are really a "1." Those who give this film a "1" clearly have something against the makers of the film.

Moving on...

This is a low-budget, independent horror film. It was probably made for less than most movies spend on craft services. But that doesn't make it bad - far from it. With stars such as Costas Mandylor, Tara Reid and Robert LaSardo, there's some real talent on board.

And, unlike some other low-budget indies, the stars aren't in it for 2 minutes - they have major roles.

I'll avoid spoilers and say this: There's plenty of gore, laughs, and campy-cheese (or is it "cheesy-camp?") to make this film enjoyable. Most of the acting is good (Robert LaSardo is always a pleasure to watch) and the costumes/locations are believable - they keep you in the film.

If this was a $50 million movie, I'd give it a 3. But it's not. It was probably made for less than 1% of that amount...and, honestly, it's better than some big budget movies.

The Mahals have carved out a nice niche in the industry. This is another good one from them. Overall: 7.

I won't dwell too much into the leaking-of-small-budget stuff (movie-making is expensive thing after all), which could still be easily overlooked, if only the movie would have had any supporting backbone that'd make it worthvile. Pacing was slow, story was vague and slightly convoluted (there are TWO vampire masters?? Is there still working society, if people are scared of police? Didn't the vampires cause the apocalypse, as some lines seem to imply othervise?), with alot of relationships and story beats making sense only if you recognize the tropes. It also had little to no action (which was something I felt was expected from such premise), which leaves you questioning - what's the purpouse of this film? It's not drama, it's not bloody action flick, it's nothing. Just 1h30mins of people with some of the strangest written dialogues. Even the vampires weren't fun! So much wasted potential.
