Blood Demon Rising

The acting was brilliant. To be fair her character is completely idealised (naturally beautiful but unaffected by it, intelligent, insightful, sexy, gracious, humble, caring, un stopably positive and non-demanding). Have you ever met anyone like this in real life?

I enjoyed this film so much that it just about at my all time top ten. If your looking for remarkable writing and good storyline then this is your movie!!!!

This movie suffers from a lot of the sorts of things low-budget movies suffer from: limited talent, obvious CG, and no budget for special effects. Now you have the bad news.

The good news is that from this stew of things that shouldn't work emerges a flick that does. There's a sense of fun that pervades and it animates what would otherwise be a dull ride. Some of the acting is pretty good and there are a couple of genuinely spooky scenes. If you're up for a good-bad movie, this one is worth ogling.

I had never heard of the actor Stephen Lestat but he has a blast playing the terrifying demon in Blood Demon Rising. It's a borderline X-rated horror that revels in depictions of torture and gore. It also has ambitious production design, sharp cinematography and resourceful special effects. There's a lot of camp value here too. It would be interesting to hear what director Tchinski's influences are. Acting, dialogue and editing aren't as polished as a Hollywood product, but I'm a big believer that unvarnished horror is generally more effective than the slick stuff. If it's scary imagery you're looking for, step right into this asylum.

Movie isn't the problem. I live "B" movies, this is pretty good as B movies go. My problem is with the descriptions or rather the writers that IMDB hires to write them. What the hell? Stop hiring people who's first language isn't English or at least have a much better grasp of the language in which English is the national Language. Countries like Nigeria, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Cameroon, Botswana, Guyana just to name a few. Sorry Blood Demon Rising, I've had enough your suffering with a measly one star.

If you are looking for a horror film which is as fun and entertaining as it is gory and terrifying, this one is for you. This indie movie embraces a lot of iconic imagery and horror staples and presents them in a gratifying way. I also loved the visual concept of Blood Demon and his character overall.
