Pearblossom starts on New Year's Eve 1968 as two friends Brooke Ancnel (Sophie Monk) & Rhea Cohen (Anya Lahiri) party the year away at a big Hollywood producer's house, there Brooke walks in on actor Warren James (Justin Shilton) trying to rape a girl & after a brief argument stabs him to death. Driving down the Pearblossom highway with her friend Rhea a cold calculating Brooke admits to what she did but show's little remorse, while out in the lonely dessert God (Angel Lindvall) decides to turn Rhea into an immortal angel in order to walk the Earth & fight evil. Rhea manages to get Brooke brought back from the dead too some forty years later, however Brooke is as evil & selfish as she had always been & uses her new found powers to kill anyone she likes with no regard to why she has been brought back. Realising what Brooke is Rhea has to stop her...
Also known under the title Life Blood this supernatural horror thriller was written, produced & directed by Ron Carlson & really isn't that good, in fact I'd say it was a pretty bad film. The script is all over the place, it has vague religious & supernatural themes that go nowhere along with two central character's who just don't work. For a start Brooke & Rhea seem like such different people with the exact opposite values that I wondered why they were best friends in the first place, then the one dimensional aspect of them with Brooke being evil & rhea being good with no middle ground makes for an empty film with no conflict or or soul searching or character development. Pearblossom plays out exactly like you think it will, no-one develops or changes & the plot about immortal Vampire killing women is nowhere near as cool as it should have been. In fact the majority of the film takes place out in the dessert & in a gas station store, there's not much scope there for variety & by the time the 80 odd minutes are up that it takes to watch Pearblossom you will know what I mean. Even at just over 80 odd minutes Pearlblossom drags, offered little to maintain my interest & doesn't so much end as just stops.
The two main leading ladies are pretty hot, especially the blonde one their character's are dull & lifeless. The entire second half of the film seems geared towards getting Brooke into situations where she can pose & look threatening, neither of them offer any nudity. There's a couple of gory moments, a guy is stabbed in the throat, someones throat is slit with a knife, a few people are shot & a dead animal is seen after it has been run over. The dusty dessert locations get repetitive after a while & there's little visual variety here.
With a supposed budget of about $1,000,000 the production values are alright but forgettable, the acting is alright with veteran actor Charles Napier playing the local sheriff.
Pearblossom is a dull supernatural horror thriller with a loose script & forgettable plot that didn't impress or entertain me that much. Apart from a couple of hot leading ladies Pearblossom has little going for it.
