Out for Blood

In Los Angeles, Detective Hank Holten (Kevin Dillon) is obsessed by his ex-wife, the writer of vampire novels Susan Hastings (Vanessa Angel), stalking her and having drinking problems. His chief and friend, Captain John Billings (Lance Henriksen), makes him promise to forget her and stop drinking, and assigns Hank to find Layla Simmons (Jody Lyn O'Keefe), who is missing and without notice to her family. Hank goes to a rave party, finds Layla, they go to an orgy party in an old building, and while having sex with her, Hank finds that the place is a vampire nest. He is bitten by the vampire-leader, but nobody believes on him. He looks for Susan to help him.

"Out For Blood" is not so bad as IMDb User Rating of 3.7 indicates. The story has many flaws and clichés, but is interesting; Vanessa Angel is not a good actress, indeed she is awful; I like Kevin Dillon, but he is very weird in this movie; but in the end, "Out for Blood" is an above average vampire story. The scenes with the vampire Alex are very funny and Kenneth Colom has a good performance. Jody Lyn O'Keefe is tremendously sexy. The music score is excellent. Therefore, with lower expectations and liking vampire films, this B-movie may entertain. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Sangue de Lobo" ("Wolf Blood")

Easily the worst vampire-flick I've ever seen. Hammy-acting, a plot that just had to be written by an 8-year old -> or better yet -> his imaginary friend. They throw in tons of cliché-filled drivel that makes me think that the "decent vampire flick" genre is now a thing of the past.

Don't even get me started about blood-stains that mysteriously vanish (I wanted to poke myself with a pencil through my eyes during the final scene!)

What were they thinking when they made this? Even porno has more congruent story lines!!!

Sci-Fi!!! What has become of you lately?

It's not a horrible film, but then it's not a great film either. It's made almost like a TV movie. Some people think Hank is miscast, but I thought he was OK. I think they we're going for a hipper/youngish character. He's fine.

I landed on this movie by mistake actually, started watching because the remote wasn't near me and I had things on my lap that prevented me from getting up to change the channel. I'm glad I didn't ... here's why:

For die hard vampire fans or horror flick fans this may be too light weight for you, but since I'm not a follower of the genre that would be up to you. This film is a really good film in my opinion. I kept watching at first because I wanted to see Kevin Dillion -- who turns out to be really quite good. I think the movie is supposed to be scary, but it seems to be done tongue in cheek -- I found myself laughing at times which is good for me since I'm not real into being scared myself. So, I enjoyed this about the movie. The storyline had a few turns that were unexpected and definitely kept me watching.

So, I'd say it's a keeper. Whether for a comedy for a horror flick I'm not quite sure which to put it under. And the funny thing is I say that in a good way. It was quite enjoyable and I'd even say that I'd watch it again. I hope more people post opinions so I can come back and read what others had to say about the movie. Enjoy - I hope.

I watched OUT FOR BLOOD when it premiered on the Sci-Fi channel last summer and although I was expecting it to be slightly better than it was, I still found it to be better than most movies that premiered on the Sci-Fi channel in the past few years. Low-budget like all of the Sci-fi channel original movies, some of the effects are a bit cheesy, but most of them are decent enough. One would expect the special effects to be the highlight of a vampire film like this, but the highlight is actually Kevin Dillon's performance. His performance almost makes up for the clichéd script and occasionally weak directing. Despite the flaws of OUT FOR BLOOD, it still an entertaining picture that never left me bored and given a better budget and script, could have been an above average vampire flick. I give it 5/10.
