Bloodrunners

This movie really isn't very good. At all. Acting is terrible, dialogue really bad. I LIKE low-budget, cheesy vampire flicks, and this was just. Bad. All around. Hey it other people liked it, more power to them, but I almost gave up watching it a couple times. I don't get why the rating is so high, I've watched 4 star flicks I've enjoyed much, much more.

A dirty cop starts to believe that his town is controlled by a group of vampires. I try not to take this kind of movies too serious, and you shouldn't either.

What can I say? The concept alone is right off the SyFy channel. However, the acting of a few of the characters was decent. Ice-T was better than expected. Mike MacFeddan was a not too bad as the crooked cop. Peter Patrakios chewed up the scenery with no control over his inner monologue. Chris Jame Boylin was a sexy beast who's handyman skills made the movie worth watching.

Surprisingly, the movie was better than expected and the end built to a fulfilling climax. It wasn't a waste of time after all... I may even watch it again.

Oh poor Ice T, how the mighty have fallen. The overall story had some merit & the setting of vampires "running" blood out of a small town, that finally drives them out (sort of) was intriguing enough to warrant a watch. But I was wrong. The dialog = atrocious. Acting = worse. Action scenes were beyond silly. Attention to details (see goofs) was awful. Ice T was still a presence - but why was he in this?

For low budget movies, this thing is nothing short of a miracle. It looks like it had a bigger budget than $180K. The sets, the costumes, the props, the number of locations.... the writer/director/cinematographer/production designer, Dan Lantz pulled a rabbit out of his hat. The writer/producer, Adam Danoff must have pulled every favor from every person he knew. I have to applaud the sheer task accomplished.

The story, acting, plot are your run-of-the mill horror comedy fare, nothing unique (but not in a bad way). It just not something you'd expect to see from such a small budget.
