Blood Ride lasts 69 minutes, excluding the closing credits, and this is one of the longest hours I've ever had. The whole plot is ridiculous, acting is far beyong horrible (the next Razzie Award for worst supporting actress must be presented to Pollyanna McIntosh, once a promising Scottish actress from The Woman and Let Us Prey, who now got stuck in a girl-power pit hole that led her to direct an embarrassing Darlin,) and every single aspect, starting with pedestrian cinematography and finishing with cringy dialogues, falls apart on the screen just to praise the pointless gender war directed by Melanie Aitkenhead.
A freshman girl gets drugged and raped by a trio of one-dimensional hunky football players. Should she call the authorities? Should she visit a doctor that will easily find violence marks and elements in her blood? Hell no! This is the world where no man will ever defend her! She has to speak to her wretched older cousin that will cast a fire on the rapists along with her biker friends and will leave them with severe wounds. Should they call the authorities? Should they visit a doctor that will easily find nasty large burn marks on their skin? Hell no! They have to take revenge for taking revenge on them. Someone gets killed. Authorities? Doctors? Family, at least? You know the answer.
This is what the film is about. This is effortless, lazy, predictable, unintriguing and simply painful to watch. This shouldn't be created in the first place. Yet, we have it. Avoid at all costs.

If this movie came out in the 80s it might have worked. It was one of those movies you would except to watch on USA Network Up All Night. The only thing good about this movie was the acting. The cast actually gave an honest effort with the script that was provided which wasn't much. It was basically a train wreck with more holes than you can imagine.

This movie starts out with two rapes. They don't show anything at all. What is this a Lifetime Movie?? -1 Star
The movie is too short. -1 Star
So the girls team up for the Revenge Ride!!!! Oh cool the gang leader is the garbage lady from The Walking Dead! I heard she finally returned Rick in that. In this she says the F word a lot.
So they get their revenge on the college guys. Then the college guys find them and get their revenge on the biker girls. It's a lovely beautiful family story but it didn't really have any flesh so it's sorta a waste of time.
3/10.

Of course a revenge flick I wanted to like, but I couldn't. Pollyanna McIntosh was good, some what, she would be perfect as a biker gang lead at 5'11" and intimidating and she showed character, but she doesn't have a lot here. Serinda Swan was good and truly shines. BUT it made no sense honestly, a biker gang of women against 3 football frat boys, I believe the director tried to make it a commentary on college rape, how so many go unknown and unreported, but does not explain why other than 'nobody will do anything', the gang hates men, but really they don't, but it is not really shown except the end somewhat, the movie really could have used an extra 15-20 minutes, the ending was abrupt, silly and no resolution to everything that just happened. It was a pretty bad movie, even for me and that really is saying something, it had potential but missed.
I was frustrated through the whole movie because it seemed as though it was written by someone with a personal vendetta. It didn't seem balanced at all.
A rather silly revenge fantasy where a bunch of "tough chicks" in leather outfits take on abusive "mean old mens".
Might have worked if it had been re-written as a comedy.
As it stands its truly awful, with moments of chuckle worthy accidental, self satire, being the only dim light, in the general gloom this thing represents.
0/10.

I ignored the reviews and watched anyway. Being a revenge-movie buff, the beginning and middle was predictable and entertaining enough for me to think it was headed to a higher rating. But the writer's have an obvious moral inconsistent with with the cathartic feeling I look forward to in revenge-genre movies. Nothing special about character development, cinematography photography, music or editing. Nothing horrifically bad, looks professional enough for a good b film. Nothing special about the action scenes either. In my view it does a disservice for women's rights.

This movie is very bad... Serinda Swan is a true swan and she does shine some light on this movie. Still its pretty terrible. The story, the other actors and the cinematography is awful.. Still impressed by Serinda's professional acting through this terrible film..

I mean I've seen a lot of movies in my time and this I can say isn't the worst. Not really good by all means but deserves more then what the rating is. The story just seems super rushed. Good idea but way too rushed without much backstory except a lil bit the main characters fill you in on. Some dialogue is cringy and laughable but the acting isn't the worst. Serinda Swan is good as always but the whole love story between her and Diego Boneta isbeyond unbelievable, unneeded and terrible. Just makes no sense. Chemistry isn't there either. Diego's acting is super bad and the most cringy part. The worst part though is the football players acting. Omg are they terrible and your gonna tell me 3 players go up against an entire female biker gang, yeah no way. The main female lead is ostracized bc the guy who's trying to help them and has done nothing is a man?! I'm even a lesbian and that's just nuts. It was entertaining, watchable, and honestly not too bad if you go in with no expectations but the female actresses definitely are the saving factors.
The best way to watch this movie is with the TV off, it will be much more enjoyable.stare at a blank screen for 70 minutes.
I really don't let the reviews stop me from watching a movie and I most certainly never comment or review. This movie was great I thought. Most of the acting was good and the story line excelled. Lately I find it hard to sit thru any movie but this one got my full attention.
Needed more bike shots and some nudity but overall a great effort on a very limited budget. the plot was simple and predictable. a few WOW moments. lead was beautiful. acting was fine. a good late night indulgence

If It wasnt for Serinda, who is magnificent in her every roll coz she knows how to act and who can save every thing she stars in by her take on the roles she s in, the movie would be a total disaster! It had a good idea, the story idea was good and all time relatable, which gave me hope. But whoever put all those scenes together did a bad thing... Who knows maybe even other actresses could add somerhing to a movie but yeah whoever glyed this movie together.... Folks, most sincerely, as someone who lives on movies and tv shows... I advise you to either skip this one or suffer through a bad movie to see that only worthy spark Serinda Swan is...
Turning the tables - bringing the hammer down ... serving justice to go - maybe you can think of some more puns. I am sure I could too, but I'll leave it at that right about now. We have Serinda Swan and Pollyanna McIntosh - both strong women in their own right. And women that did not know they were looking (out) for each other.
But still very different mind sets - it may have to do with the fact that Serinda came to the crew a long time after her assault took place ... and was not able to do a revenge ride - for better or worse. Or whatever that may mean.
There are moral implications here .. and things to consider. But in the end, this is a movie and if you feel uncomfortable about certain things - the movie intends you to feel that way. Especially towards an ending that most will not "agree" upon. When you become what you hunt ... you have missed your goal by more than a mile ...

This movie was better than I thought. It wasn't a great movie but it certainly is not the worst movie that I have seen. I gave it a ten because of all the low ratings. It's actually a 6 star movie
Of course, this movie has very sensitive subject matter... However, I love me a great revenge movie. There was no happy ending here. But at least worth one watch. I haven't seen hardly any films out here with women biker gangs. Just usually the guys. Personally, I thought this would've made a good series... the sisters biker gang. It makes you think about who your friends and family really are, when the tough times happen. When push comes to shove, would you really ride and die for and with your sisters? This really drove that point home. And also shows how bonds like this can be really extreme and you have to think to yourself about the dos and don'ts of this so-called sisterhood. I don't like to give away spoilers, but I will say the leader of this so-called sisterhood had a good side and also a very selfish side, as if you could be no part of anything or anyone without her consent, and that can be very dangerous with your so-called sisterhood, you have to think for yourself and do for yourself at some point, YOU choose who you want your friends to be , especially if they are good folks, and mean you happiness. When your so-called sisters, start pushing away the good guys and telling you they can't be a part of your life, your so-called sisterhood are NOT your true sisters.
