Here for Blood

Babysitting, how hard could it be? Find out when pro wrestler Tom fills in on a babysitting job so that his girlfriend, Phoebe, has a chance to study for an exam.

Tom expects a pretty chill evening babysitting Grace. They order pizza and play some video games. Right before Grace's bedtime two intruders enter the house. They just want the girl, but Tom isn't going to let that happen.

Tom and Grace must fight off members of an evil cult. Phoebe and some friends join in on the unexpected fun as the battle the cult members in gory, comedic fashion.

I had never heard of "Here for Blood" prior to viewing it. I was pleasantly surprised.

Rocker Dee Snider of Twisted Sister is the voice of the head.

Here for Blood is a ton of fun. Shawn Roberts absolutely kills it with the awesome one liners while defending a house against a home invasion.

Tom (Roberts) is conned into babysitting by his girlfriend and thus starts the home invasion by a group of mask wearing killers.

The fun starts when Tom encounters the first man in a mask and kicks the loving junk out of him.

What makes this stand out from some other home invasion films is its absurdly funny humor, extremely creepy antagonists and awesomely over the top practical effects.

You find out that this home invasion is to possibly capture the little girl and anyone else is just dead meat. About a third of the way through you will probably guess the reasoning as to why they are doing it but it gets does have some twists and turns... especially when you figure out who is behind it.

Here for Blood is a lot of fun and Shawn Roberts really adds a lot with his cockiness and hilarious one liners through out the film. It also doesn't slow down at all. It's definitely worth watching if you like horror comedies.

I think that this movie is supposed to be the kinda movie that's so bad that it's good. But I guess they failed to make it so, cause it's not that funny. I only chuckled a few times. But I didn't laugh at all. Also the blood and gore was really testing my stomach. A fair warning for those who don't have the stomach for excessive gore and blood : don't watch this movie. It's like Quentin Tarantino times 3! Blood spraying in all direction for a minute or two. I think that the title describes the main plot for this movie. Blood, just blood. Maybe vampires can love this movie. But for the rest of us, mortals, we can't. Buh bye!

A pro wrestler who fills in for his girlfriend at a babysitting job defends his charge from an evil cult.

It turns out I've seen Shawn Roberts in some stuff, but the name didn't mean anything to me. He was one of the guys who got killed off a bit early in Land of the Dead, which is a pretty awesome job on a resume but not all that memorable. However, he was great here, and I'll probably remember his name now.

This is a splatter comedy full of cheesy lines and gore sfx. I'm not really sure I liked anyone but Roberts and the kid he was babysitting, played by Maya Misaljevic. The scenes between them were great. When other characters intruded, the movie often got a bit dumb.

The bad guys are played with extra camp. Roberts' reactions to them were funny, but I didn't find the bad guys themselves all that funny. I think part of the problem was the writing and directing. The bigger, musclebound guys had some presence and made for appropriate challenges for Roberts, though.

That led to some pretty decent fight choreography, and the fights could get pretty brutal. If you don't like gore, you might want to skip this movie, though it's played for laughs. There are constant geysers of blood, which got a bit silly, but I guess that's unavoidable in a 90s horror homage.

I didn't really feel that all the characters were able to satisfactorily justify their existence. However, Roberts was able to keep things pretty fun, and having lots of characters around meant that the body count could keep piling up. If that's all you really need to enjoy a movie, I'd say this is a good watch.

If you like movies like Dead Alive, Botched, and Evil Dead, it's worth a look.

This movie is called 'Here For Blood' for a reason! If you aren't here for blood, then don't go see this movie because there is plenty of it! If you love blood, gore, makeup effects and a campy 80s horror feel, you will enjoy it. I was pleasantly surprised with the great acting and cinematography for such a low budget movie filmed in little London. It has nods to a lot of great horror classics and some laugh out loud moments. I recommend this movie to any true horror fan...Those who don't like it probably aren't actual horror fans and just don't get it. Grab some popcorn and a few friends and just enjoy!
