Blood Shot

When i first saw the cover, or the french title in the video store(yes some people still rent from video stores) "Vampire Assassin" i knew i was in for something pretty lame and dumb. Oh well i have not rent one of those in ages, and i had a coupon for 2 at the price of 1...

The movie start right away and this is my major complain, its never explained why the cop is after the vampire. We are supposed to believe the cop only want to bring the vampire to justice because he kill people... which is extremely lame. Eventually they will have to team up as the synopsis mention to take down a terrorist who want to blow out a Nuke in L.A. OK this part is from the start extremely hard to believe, terrorist running freely in the US in full "arabian look" and all. But on top of that the leader is so caricatured you can't take him seriously at all.

When it comes to other characters, the vampire is OK, he is imposing, look strong, outside the fact that he only use double pistol, you could think he is what you have in mind when you think "vampire". The cop ain't bad, but his character is so badly introduced you have trouble caring for him.

But the bad guys are just a total mess, they can't be believe in at all, and the whole concept of the president talking from his limo to a vampire division administrator is so whatever.

After that, i would say the way the movie is filmed is pretty decent, camera work is fine, blood is fine, but i am not sure if this is part of the vampire "powers" but when he sponge bullets, they just disappear in a little smoke explosion, not even damaging his suit, which i tough was extremely silly and just poor special effects.

In the end i would say the movie is hard to like, even if you see it as a total "nanar" as we call them in french, which could be translated to "a silly but fun movie" in English. The pacing ain't very good, the story is, even tough not really complicated" hard to follow because its simply badly written, and the characters outside the vampire himself, seem way too caricatured and dumb.

In the end really not a must, whatever you are a fan of vampire movies or action movies. And i saw it witch a bunch of beers... so i gave him a big chance.

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.

In case you misunderstood that's negative 10 stars. Wtf was that?!?! I saw where several people gave it 10 stars. We definitely did watch the same movie. I'd rather watch ticyok for 10 hour straight as to watch blood shot from. Start to finish. BY far the worse film I've ever watched. That's saying a lot. Please believe me when I say don't waist your time. Watching paint dry is more entertaining then this film.

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.
