Life Blood (2009 Video)
4/10
Good for some T&A, but that's about it

Warning: Spoilers
I read a few reviews going into this, so my expectations were not built up by any means. This is obviously a B level movie, with pretty much no name stars except for the Sharif, who plays a minor roll overall. I'm into Vampire movies and having cute main stars and it being Free with my Comcast subscription I figured why not give it a view.

It is an original idea / take on Vampires, but is obviously a movie that could have done a lot better if given a little more time, money, better script & acting (mainly on the minor roles), some direction & editing. Could I make a better movie if given the same chance, hell no. But obviously this kind of a movie can in no way compete with a main stream vampire / horror movie. So while there are a lot of cons, there are certainly much worse movies out there. It would have been nice to see them develop on a couple things, such as what happened to Dan, do the Vamps heal, what happened to the depute, etc… So another 10 – 15 minutes to tie up loose ends and expand on a couple things might have been worthwhile as the movie was only something like 88 minutes including credits. And as others have mentioned the first 25 minutes are rather dull, so you're only talking about 40 minutes or so of a half decent flick. Some of the acting is just horrible (such as the truck driver), seriously I could have done a better job than him… Course one has to overlook this being it was a B rated movie. Was it a complete waste of time? Not completely although it's definitely not a repeat by any means. There was some decent T&A in the beginning, although it would have scored another point or two had Sophie (Brooke) lost her top somewhere along the way as she has done in other flicks.

Overall, don't spend money to see this. Seeing it for free while not having much of anything better to do other than go to sleep 90 minutes earlier I don't feel cheated. I almost have a hard time calling it a vampire movie as they aren't your typical vampires, though they do exhibit some vampire traits. No fangs is kind of odd as you'd think that would be a cheap cosmetic thing to add, and it would have made them sexier IMO. So if you happen to catch it for free like I did, are a fan of B flick horror / vamp movies feel free to give it a try, but again go in with no or low expectations.
