Shower of Blood

As a filmmaker myself, I am always happy when another indy film gets distribution. Shower of Blood has that going and that is a feat in itself. It is very difficult to get low budget indys distributed without some 'A' list actors. So immediately you have to admit, the film must be somewhat well done. Watching it, I agree.

The first thing to capture my attention was the safe, but clearly, classical camera movement. Seems they knew what they were doing, and they didn't break any rules that I saw. That's a great testament to independent filmmakers. So many non filmmakers pick up a camera and call action, without even having the first clue as to how difficult it is to make a full length feature. These guys and girls obviously did there homework.

The visual effects were simply, 'Hollywood'. Top end. The score, was, in a word, Wow! Soundtrack, diverse. Hope there's a soundtrack??? The acting left something to be desired, but hey, they probably were more models than actors, because they were physically very beautiful people. Lighting scheme was cleary thought out, and some of the exterior night stuff was very cool.

Onto the story (Promise I won't give it away)... It's always fun to see hot (dumb) characters going into places they shouldn't. Ha ha Deservingly, some wild antics ensue (some you gotta see to believe). Beer, babes, and blood! haha Though one characters through line is not clearly defined, I see the attempt was made and it's not enough for me to give a bad review. Yes, this story has been done before (DON'T GO IN THERE ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE!), but it has cool enough visuals, and a couple new twists that make it worthy of a viewing. It's a fun one to pop in the ole' DVD player on a weekend.

As entertaining as breasts are, I thought I was renting a horror movie. The other flicks I have watched from Terror 2000 have been cool; gory little shockers made by filmmakers who rely on ingenuity rather than budget. This suckfest has the acting, effects, humor and plot of a soft porn movie, and that's all it really is I guess. Head Vamp Uncle is a real find though being the sleaziest person on the planet.

all in all , its really rubbish make no mistake, it wasn't what I was expecting in the slightest, but it kept me amused, I appreciated how inept the whole thing was, the overdubbed fart/burp soundtrack was great, the girls were cute and always naked, and the jocks do not disappoint. Thumbs up for trash then

First off: generic title cards. Second: overly dark photography went out with the 1980s. Third: incredibly un-erotic nudity during the generic opening title cards. Fourth: puking and farting from plastic-looking Megan (Robin Brown) is neither funny nor necessary.

Now that we have that out of the way.....

Two drunken, flatulent couples spend the night at an uncle's house in the woods. They drink, fart again, puke again, and, mercifully, shower. After Unc shows up later that evening, he reveals himself to be a vampire. That ten seconds-long premise is stretched out to 79 minutes, 65 minutes of that is either the girls getting nude and showering, or the guys acting like idiots and smashing beer cans against their heads. After seeing Megan puking, belching, and farting repeatedly in the first two scenes, are we supposed to find it erotic to see her nude in the shower and on the bed? When the creepy as hell Uncle gets into bed with her, it was more nauseating than arousing. I was actually happy when her character was finally killed, because it meant an end to (some of) the constant farting.

The title might attract one's attention, but don't get one's hopes up; this IQ-killing time-waster is long on flatulence and nudity, but very short on anything else. Lia Montelongo and Melissa Mountifield's ample nudity is the only attraction here.

As the title suggests there is quite a lot of blood on display here. Still the nudity factor is even higher. On the other hand the main villain here has a field day and it's almost enticing watching him (no pun intended). But even with all those good things in favor of the movie, it has quite a few downfalls.

Obviously this is shot on a very low budget, so you have to take that in account for. Still the script should have been worked on quite a bit more. Most of the jokes are just not funny. The jump scares are not working (making even the "jumping cat" seem like a genius and genuine scare) and character relationships seem to constantly change. Dialogue isn't really a selling point either. Still everyone has different taste, though I wouldn't recommend a "blind buy" with this ... (rent it first)

This movie is so bad that it is good. You must watch this movie with a group of your closest friends to really enjoy the over-acting, bad sound effects, boobs constantly on screen (the opening credits start you off, then you won't have a gap larger than 6 minutes for them to show up again through out the film), and music that'll just make you laugh.

I haven't had so much fun watching a movie with my friends. This isn't for serious people, and it won't make you happy if you are expecting something good to watch. If you want to watch something that makes you think you can make a better movie yourself, this is for you.
