YOUR RATING

In the heart of the city, a nefarious terrorist cell is plotting a major attack against the US. Little do the terrorists know, someone is on to them. As they prepare to execute the first part of their plan, a mysterious figure infiltrates their home base and dispatches them one by one. The mysterious figure is revealed to be a Vampire (Michael Bailey Smith), but not just any Vampire. This particular Vampire is employed by a covert government organization lead by Sam (Lance Henriksen) whose sole mission is to protect America from detrimental threats. Meanwhile, Rip (Brennan Elliott), a rogue cop, knows of the VampireÂ’s existence and will stop at nothing to destroy it, even if his wife, job, and sanity are at stake.

After several violent encounters with the Vampire, Rip is beaten to a pulp, but like any good cop, he never gives up. The Vampire attempts to explain himself to Rip and convince him that he is on the same side, but Rip isnÂ’t having it.

In the meantime, Bob (Brad Dourif), the most notorious terrorist in the world, is on his way to the US to execute the attack. Along with him is a gang of motley terrorists (Marty Klebba, Joey Naber, Anthony Batarse, Herzl Tobey and Assaf Cohen), hell bent on destroying the city. Upon hearing the news, the Vampire must convince Rip to join forces and stop Bob before he detonates a powerful nuke in the middle of the city.

Where is the sequel

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.

Too amateurish

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.

First review here ever...

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.

Confusing and boring

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.

Blood Shot

I just watched Blood Shot for the second time now and found it to be completely entertaining! AGAIN!!! I seriously don't understand the poor reviews. No, it may not be worthy of an Oscar nomination, but really, few movies are. However Blood Shot has everything! Humor, action, suspense, romance, horror!! It's got it all. Good strong lead characters, compelling plot development with a great surprise at the end. My only complaint would be that it hasn't been followed up with a sequel. Overall, I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone wanting a fun flick that doesn't take itself to seriously!!!
