Rancho sangriento

My roommate and I watched Bloodranch a few nights ago and we kind of enjoyed it. It wasn't great but it wasn't gruesome either. Both of us like to watch horror films when they're not to realistically violent like the 'Hostel' movies. Those are so realistic it's sickening. This movie was actually pretty funny. Fairly predictable and somewhat scary, in a silly kind of way.

The fake head that the leader of the Bloodranch guys picked up off of the food tray had us rolling on the ground. The acting was somewhat good or else all of those actors in the movie are really weird people. We're guessing, it might be a little of both.

Cyndi says she would give it a 9, but I'm sticking with a 7, because the movie was more funny to me than scary.

I have several daughters that are in high school now (a Senior and two Sophmores, twins).

They had a PJ Party and approximately, about a dozen girlfriends came for the weekend, so as to celebrate my daughters birthdays, just prior to school beginning. A pseudo "Last Hurrah," prior to the grind. They came home with 6 horror films from Blockbuster and began watching them. Well, on Saturday morning as I was cleaning house, I hear this familiar tone of voice and laughter coming from the stereo speakers.

As I entered the den, I looked at the screen and immediately began laughing hysterically. My eldest paused the movie and questioned my surprise outburst. I responded, that's Jimmy Fitzpatrick, one of my college boyfriends, when I attended Illinois State in the 70's.

It wasn't a great movie, but it was fun to watch Jimmy play such a crazy character. Congratulations Jimmy, you have a dozen new-young fans...and one older one obviously. Jimmy was a very nice boy back then, and a very passionate kisser.

I have to rate this horror movie a big fat 10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like we were roaming around Hollywood video and couldn't agree on watching anything. Then my sister says lets get something freaky- scary, and I said okay, but it has to be REALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY scary!!!!!!! And you cant tell mom and dad, who was on a date. Like, all we could tell was that this big guy on the cover was really mean and evil looking right. So we get home get into our jams, and micro some pcorn. We stick the DVD in the player and from the get go were seeing places we used to go camping with my mom and dad and brother, (before he went off to Iraq to get rid of terrorists), and were seeing the high dessert where we used go horseback riding. It's a beautiful place even though they made it look so scary and alone. so we watched it and we loved it. a couple of the boys were cute. 10, 10, 10, 10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It takes a while to get going, but once you get to the Blood Ranch it's sort of a homage to Texas Chainsaw Massacre with more than a little touch of Bloodsucking Freaks thrown in for good measure. Sure it's degenerate, but at least creatively so, a non stop parade of demented and oddly funny torture scenes that at the very least boast some imagination--no sense ultimately but it all has a loopy nutty quality. Blood Ranch seems like it will never end, which is a good and bad thing, it's pretty high-powered oddness. Vernon Wells has only one scene, but it's a long good scene and actually from that moment on the rest of the movie works.

The ending leaves a bunch of things hanging that don't have to be left that way and as I said the start is pretty slow going--though there is a decent car chase and some nice cold desert photography/videography.

Much more original in total than the dull ultimately useless The Hills Have Eyes remake.

If you are looking to watch a film that is trying to fill you up with wonder and answers to life you are looking to the wrong movie. This movie is all about having fun with the make of movies. Horror movies are nothing like real life, hello, and it's all about to scream and close your eyes when the scary things are to happen. Please do not be so serious with you critics. It is so silly to be critical of a movie with this title. Come on guys, be truthful you were not looking for an academy award winner called blood ranch right. So take a look in the mirror and say to your self I must not take my self so seriously. You will have a short life with that bad attitude. Enjoy life, laugh at your self and others. You will have much more fun. I promise. Good job to the director of blood ranch. Good job. I enjoy it.
