I just watched this movie still not sure what to make of it .Is it some sort of black comedy or what ?? And Brad Douriff in black face ? Both him and Lance Hendrikson must have needed a pay check pretty bad to be involved with this rubbish . I'm suprised no members of the arabaic community complained or were up in arms about this monstrosity of a film . Talk about stereo types . If i was into a movie like this or something like it i'd rather watch hell boy that movie had some depth to it and more meaning ful characters .But this ?? Its more like a TV pilot for a TV show . I lost interest half way thru this give it a miss. Gave it a one for effort.
Seeing the low score I had to write a review. The only way to give this movie less than 7-10 score is if you missed the whole point of it. It's just for fun and you really see how the actors are having fun as well... Don't take it seriously and just enjoy the ride.
Many sequels have failed, this one, I don't think would have. It's a shame.
This movie is a bit of fun and has some funny one-liners, overall entertaining. No, it's not a belly laugh, some parts are not the best acting effort either. This aside, I would recommend this.

BLOOD SHOT is another pitifully-budgeted vampire horror flick that mixes in some thriller and action elements to no good measure. The story has various Russian and Middle Eastern gangs teaming up to get hold of a bomb while the FBI sends in a special agent, who randomly happens to be a vampire, to sort things out. There's an annoying human cop who gets in the way too. This strives for an '80s feel but never really works thanks to the paucity of the budget and amateurish nature of the direction. The hulking Michael Bailey Smith is good value as the vampire, and there are welcome cameos from genre mainstays Lance Henriksen, Brad Dourif and Christopher Lambert (the latter bizarrely playing the president!), but overall this is fairly pitiful.
A Middle East terrorist (Brad Dourif) is plotting an attack with a nuclear bomb in the US that has to be detonated in the center of Los Angeles. However the only ones that could stop him are a Terminator-like vampire and a rogue cop that form an unlikely duo.
BLOOD SHOT has quite a odd reputation. It has 3,3 and yet 3 recent reviews with 10s written by folks who probably were involved in the production. With such a stellar cast (Dourif, Jeff Chase, Christopher Lambert as the US President and Lance Henriksen as his secretary) someone would expect an entertaining horror. Instead it was just a sloppy mess with bad special effects, explosions clearly made with poor CGI and plot holes like those of Swiss cheese. Not even good for an evening at home movie as at times it was very slow.
