Out for Blood (2004 Video)
A Definitive Z-Movie
19 August 2011
Warning: Spoilers
It has been almost six years since the first and only time I have seen this movie. Yet it is still quite memorable, for all the wrong reasons.

Anyone who is familiar with Ed Wood would know the Z-movie as a film which often has a gory storyline, yet is created with a lack of artistic interest. The special effects in 'Out for Blood' show no effort from any cinematographer apart of the production.

Luckily most of the actors are somewhat attractive and are constantly being intimate, which gives people a reason to continue watching. The soundtrack is quite great, which includes a cover of the 'Lost Boys' theme, "Cry Little Sister". The makeup of the vampire transformations look like masks rather than theatrical makeup. Not to mention the fake blood which strangely resembles cherry sauce from Chinese food!

I honestly wish there was something slightly more uplifting. Any film is a gamble to make, but one can tell the filmmakers of 'Out for Blood' didn't make a strong effort. Even major vampire fans would be offended. Not to mention the major insult to classic director F.W. Murnau by having Nosferatu in this film, shortly killed in the same scene.

Then again, all the vampires die in this film, of course.

If you're still intrigued by this theme after enduring 'Out for Blood', The Twilight Series, and the dreaded 'Fright Night' remake, watch 'Dracula (1933)', 'Bram Stoker's Dracula', or 'Interview with the Vampire'. Better yet, to where it all began, 'Nosferatu'.
