Horror Movie Reviews

Although Wes Craven had hardly anything to do with "Wishmaster" (parts 1 and 2), having merely lent his name to the movies mostly in order to give it better box-office exposure in the wake of his smashing success with "Scream", the movies display a Cravenesque note throughout. This isn't at all a bad move - it ensures that more people will be watching this highly entertaining, magic spectacular. The "Wishmaster" pack presents us with a new villain in the best tradition of horror flicks, the deliciously evil and intelligent Djinn. It is a pleasure to watch Andrew Divoff as both the Djinn and his human persona, eloquently teasing wishes out of his victims and then delicately savoring his power to twist human words and wishes to his pleasure. His Djinn oozes a malicious menace while being somewhat sympathetic yet always intriguing and multi-faceted. Because he is not limited to the human domain, he is as interesting a character as Freddy Krueger originally was. He is able to take us to places and worlds we have never seen before and ever so often you will find yourself wondering if what you see is real or a surreal vision. His mystical, exotic background and his witty dialogues make him an outstanding, enigmatic villain - a villain who is both powerful yet limited to people's wishes. Part of the fun watching these movies is actually figuring out how the Djinn will grant the wishes of its summoners with the intent of destroying them, before the camera finally reveals the result. The "Wishmaster" pack is a great, imaginative, fast-paced horror flick, and the only thing one could possibly criticize about it is that it is too short. Running merely 90 minutes, it will definitely leave you aching for more. The story and the character are so rich that it should have been easy to fill another 30 minutes with some of the Djinn's malevolent tricks. We should hope that the Djinn will not suffer the same uninspired demise as many of his fellows in the Horror Hall Of Fame of repetition.

Wishmaster doesn't necessarily go up there with all the bigger horror films like Darkness Falls or The Ring, but it was fairly terrifying in some scenes, and it was a great movie to see if you wanted to see some serious gore effects, but it doesn't come close to matching Jason Goes to Hell or Wishmaster 3. Then came Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies, and I particularly enjoyed that one better than the first, because for one thing, the Djinn's look was much better, and Andrew Divoff perfroms the part with greater ability than in the first. Also, there aren't too many scenes in Wishmaster 2 that will bore you out of your mind, unlike the first and third installments.

Wishmaster: Raymond Beaumont is a wealthy collector who has had a statue, the Ahura Mazda, imported from a foreign country. As it is being lifted off the ship, the drink operator spills his drink on the controls and it drops the statue, shattering it and one of the unlucky assistants of Mr. Beaumont. Out of the rubble, a construction worker finds a large fire opal, and takes it to an examiner, Alexandra, who unknowingly releases an evil wish-granting creature from the opal. This creature, known as the Djinn, is fairly human-like. He speaks, has the structural similarities of a man, and can take the form of humans in the most peculiar way. Throughout the first half of the movie, there is a growing fear in Alexandra's heart, she fears that something is after her, and guess what...she's right! She must now pit herself against an eternal demon, but with absolutely nothing to lean on but her remaining wish, which will free the Djinn race from the void between Heaven and Earth, she must make a choice that will either make her or break her...along with the Earth.

Wishmaster 2 - Evil Never Dies: During a failed museum robbery, one of the participants, Morgana, finds the ever famous opal after the statue containing it is accidentally shot, and awakens the Djinn. The Djinn once again takes the form of the same human from the first film, Nethaniel Demarest, and takes the fall for two dead security guards and six stolen paintings, and is off to prison, where he knows there is plenty of wishing going on. However, after he has all his souls, 1001, he must then find his waker and grant her three wishes. As death and destruction surrounds Morgana, and the Djinn faces her down, she must take it upon herself to return the Djinn to the void where he belongs...but to do that, she must be pure of heart and soul.

I'm getting sort of sick of women always releasing the Djinn, they have never explored what would happen if a man awakened him, it's always women, women, women, and women. I have nothing against them, but I think the good folks at Artisan, who now have seemed to develop a knack for producing very boring and pointless films (Wishmaster: The Prophecy Fulfilled and Legend of Sleepy Hollow are exceptions), can do better than always picking on a female who has enough problems, and 3 out of 4 times they've all been blond women. Is there some sort of moral thing that's going on here? Pick on blond women? Is there some sort of dumb blond pun here? They can do better than that.

However, Wishmaster/Wishmaster 2 is a great DVD to own, so I'd recommend it to fans of creature features, gore, or just plain jumps and jolts. Thanks for reading my review!

Wishmaster and Wishmaster 2 are by far the best films in this horror series. Andrew Divoff plays and extraordinary job as being the Djinn/Wishmaster. I wish he had been in the other parts to the series.

Perhaps what makes this movie so bad is the fact that it could easily have been so good. With legendary horror director George Romero, and a cameo appearance from the greatest band of all time, the Misfits, "Bruiser" seemed like a sure shot. The surreal, Kafka-esque story that formed its basis was solid, and for the most part, the acting was up to snuff. So where does this movie fail? The script.

It starts out stunningly well, and continues to go strong right up to the point where Henry murders his light-fingered maid. Unfortunately, from that point on, it quickly disintigrates into greater and greater absurdity, bottoming out with a climax so ridiculous that it left me shaking my head. The film could have been a harrowing study of the terrible price of revenge on man's soul. Instead, the protagonist comes off as a twisted role-model for the power and benefits of self-assertion. Apparently, the most efficient way to take charge of your life is to strangle your wife to death with an extension cord.

Even through the muck and mire of this film, Romero still manages to serve up some very poignant imagery, and the Misfits video on the DVD edition is great, but I would counsil you to stay away from this movie. Or if you absolutely must see it, rent it first and check it out before spending your hard-earned money.

to sum it up..henry is a business man that has gotten no where. his boss is having an affair with his wife,and his best friend is stealing thousands from him.
he wakes up one day, to find a blank face. he then proceeds to get revenge on those who have done him wrong. the final murder was a little weak, but still a good movie..the misfits did a really good job in the club scene. while the 'fits perform scream, fiend without a face, and bruiser, henry takes a laser and kills his boss who is suspended from the ceiling as if part of the show.
also i liked the video for SCREAM. Romero did a great job directing it.

George A. Romero's Bruiser is really a great combination of horror and comentary of humanity. Yes you do see scenes of horror, a woman's head being crushed by a train, a woman being thrown out a window of a building with an extension cord wrapped securly around here neck, yes you do see things of this nature, but the main focus of the film seems to revolve around the life of an everyday guy who is walked on everyday of his life by his wife,boss (the 2 are sleeping together), his best friend cheating him out of money that belong to him, but one day he wakes up and his face is replaced with a white mask, he then starts to sink into insanity, carrying his twisted revege on all those who have wronged him. Romero shows this cruel and hard world that is sometimes true, but just as he shows this Romero also shows that even in the most unexpected places youn can find a real friend, someone that can give you hope when you need it most. Bruiser is not a striaght out horror film, it's more of a social commentary just as he had done earlier in his classic dead films, Romero this time shows maybe humanity is not all that bad.

I bought this DVD rather blindsightedly, if thats a word. I had read a lot about Christofer Lee and Hammer in the "Vampire Book" and seen a few of their Hammer flicks on TMC, so I thought...I was surprised by the quality of the plot and the acting (not Lee though) good sets too but not particularly atmospheric. It isn't clear what period or locale this is (I don't remember the end to "To Drink the Blood...") but it is obvious that the barmaids referring to the cops as "pigs" is an anachronism because Abbie Hoffman coined it a few years before this was made.

You get a lot of stuff on this DVD, which is partly my justification for the impulse buy. You get the movie, an animate slide show and two trailers on the first disc, and Christofer Lee's Documentary and a couple of Music videos on the other. The Documentary is cool, but it seems like Lee is just showing us stuff he has in his house.

This film comes from the period when Hammer was getting "spicy," tossing a little nudity into their films to increase the sensation. I remembered the film as being much racier than it turns out to be. All-in-all, it's an entertaining Hammer Dracula entry with Christopher Lee in top form, more savage and sadistic than we've ever seen Dracula before. This is another film in which Hammer tried to inject a touch of Bram Stoker into the tale by having a hero held captive in Dracula's castle watch as the vampire scales the walls similar to the scene described in Stoker's book. The only real drawback here is that Dracula is pretty much castle-bound throughout the picture so all of the action comes to him. Not the best of the Hammer Dracula films, but still a delightful envenings viewing for the horror fan.

this was a very exciting and not to mention scary movie.chris lee or dracula was at his worst.a lot more action and suspence.the only thing that I didn't like about this movie was that it didn't begin at the part about dracula being killed......................

I loved the first film in the series. I did not care for this film. It didn't have enough fresh ideas, and some of the new ideas were just stupid. The main problem was with the cast's talent, or lack thereof. The first one in the series had a great cast all-around. But, in most returning roles, new faces replaced the original actors. I guess the originals from the first film weren't interested in being in a strait-to-video release.
The Prophecy 2 has one big thing going for it, and that is the scenes between Christopher Walken and Brittany Murphy. Walken is his naturally creepy self in these scenes. Brittany Murphy, as the Goth Girl "Izzie", shows that she can hold her own in scenes with big-time actors (as she did three years later in "Don't Say a Word").
I think the film is well-worth viewing just to see those two opposite each other. But still, only for fans of the first film, or if you're a Christopher Walken or Brittany Murphy fan.

I don't know what it is about Christopher Walkern that makes my flesh creep (no offence Mr. Walkern - I put it down to your acting skill). The story is based on a second war in heaven... this time, it's not "Old Nick" being cast down but all the good guys getting jarred with god coz he's let people into heaven and they already have a priviledge - a soul - which Angels don't have. So they (rightfully) feel snubbed that having given god a monumental headache since creation, he has now elevated them above his loyal and unquestioning servants.

There is a single soul which is blacker than all the others, and a lot of the angels want it in order to become immortal... the hunt is on!

Lots of nice spins on legend stuff... I particularly like the bit where Gabriel is reasoning with a human that he (as a - now - brutal self-serving assasin) has a right to be mentally ruined having spent eternity with "one wing dipped in blood". The murdering of men, women & children, done at the order of god without question has taken it's toll on them.

Quite jumpy in places, not as scarey as the Omen(s) or other top-line legend-horrors but a good story none-the-less

Think you would want to actually meet an angel? As this film points out, angels always had one wing dipped in blood. For whenever God needed a people, a city, a nation to be chastised- he sent angels to do the killing. The angels in this film, both in terms of quality of acting and special effects are very, very believable.

Another thing that sets this film apart is it's theological and metaphysical sophistication. A very good case is made for a second war in heaven. This is because when God bestowed his Grace, his holy spark, unto humans, he raised them up above the angels. Some angels, like Gabriel, just couldn't stand being made second to "a bunch of talking monkeys."

In this sequel, Gabriel returns to earth. This is due to the fact, as Lucifer states early in the film, Hell isn't big enough for both of them. However, this time instead of searching for the one perfect Dark Soul to turn the tide of the heavenly war, he is searching for the new Nephilim, a child of the union of angel and mortal, heaven and earth. Such a being would have the power of an angel combined with the free will and divine spark of a human.

Oh yes, you also get more of the humerous" scenes of Gabriel intercepting the souls of suicides to serve as his helpers. In this case it is a goth girl named Iggy. I don't know why this should be so funny, but it is....

I couldn't think of an actor other than Christopher Walken who could have pulled off this role- who could believable be opposed to the forces of heaven and hell. You actually believe that he would burn down heaven to make his point....

All-in-all, I would say that this is one of those rare sequels that is as good as the original. My only complaint is with the sound levels. Much of the dialog is barely above a whisper. If you boost your sound loud enough to hear it clearly, then you get blasted out of the house by the action sequences.

The dialog borders on the absurd; the optical effects aren't up to par even for a 60's science fiction film; the actors frequently give zombies a good name. Yet, despite its major drawbacks, Planet of the Vampires stands as an influential film. When making Alien Ridley Scott took his cue from this imaginative but low budget film. The alien planet, spacecraft and many of the more atmospheric sequences clearly were an influence on Scott's highly praised horror film (it's stretching it to call Alien a science fiction film). It's also clear that POTV had impact on director Tobe Hooper's Lifeforce.

So will you enjoy this movie? That depends on how forgiving you are. Mario Bava's direction and the cinematography are quite imaginative and the atmospheric production design make this a triumph of style over substance. Because this was shot in Rome (with a mixture of American and Italian actors), the acting and dubbing adds an odd quality to the film. Barry Sullivan's frequently detached performance isn't one of his best but given that his director and almost all the crew didn't speak English, It's understandable.

Bava's direction and the inspired production design make this a very influential minor film classic. It's clear seeing the film again after some years, that Bava was trying to create an atmospheric Forbidden Planet and he suceeds for the most part. While Planet of the Vampires lacks the intelligent script and lively performances from that classic film, its imaginative cinematography engage the viewer in a way that FP couldn't. Again, if you can forgive the movie's shortcomings and the minimalist screenplay, you'll enjoy this film.

A couple bits of trivia about the film: the story is basically an atmospheric variation on Invasion of the Body Snatchers; Planet of the Vampires had at least three or four different titles (some of them within the United States itself); Star Trek: The Next Generation borrowed (or it was just one of those ideas in the air)the concept of POTV for an episode entitled Power Play from season 5.

The transfer is crisp and the colors vivid. I haven't seen a print this good since College. The widescreen presentation doesn't provide a huge advantage over the pan & scan version that's floated around for quite some time. This film wasn't shot in an anamorphic format and the aspect ratio is only slightly different than the traditional t.v. aspect ratio.

The mono soundtrack sounds fine although a bit flat (even for a mono soundtrack). It wouldn't have hurt to offer a track that reprocessed it for surround sound or, at least, to have tried to open up the sound a little bit. You won't be listening to the frequently clunky dialog but the soundtrack is interesting. It's clearly inspired by the atonal "effects" music track used for Forbidden Planet.

This Midnite Classic includes the original over-the-top American International Pictures trailer. Curiously, the dialog is only available in English and the subtitles in Spanish and French. Given that it's an Italian production, it would have been interesting to hear the film in its native tongue. There is a problem worth noting--the default setting for subtitles causes the film to automatically show the Spanish subtitles for the film everytime you start the flick. This problem has cropped up with one or two other Midnite releases from MGM. It's not a major problem just annoying.

It's a pity that this bare bones presentation doesn't include an overview by a film historian. It's important to understand the influence that Bava's film had on the 70's and early 80's. Perhaps someone else will license the film (doubtful) and do the job. Planet of the Vampires has a lot of positives and a few negatives as well. While it's not quite as good as it was to an 11 year old 20 plus years later, it's still an inspired bit of film making.

With a title like PLANET OF THE VAMPIRES and a largely Italian cast dubbed to English, I expected this film to be little more than grade B sci-fi schlock--and indeed the first few minutes of the film gave me no reason to revise that expectation. The producers of note (in this case really more importers than producers) are none other than Samuel Zarkoff and James (aka Jack) Nicholson, a partnership that produced a stream of tacky 1960s horror flicks; the opening special effects were dated as only 1965 special effects can be; and yes, the dubbing was evident. So I was greatly surprised when, about fifteen minutes into the film, I realized that it was holding my attention in a way I never imagined it would.

One of the most astonishing aspects of the film is how much the opening scenes of 1979's ALIEN resemble the pace, style, look, and plot of PLANET OF THE VAMPIRES--so much so that a claim of co-incidence would be difficult to believe. Like the later film, PLANET OF THE VAMPIRES finds a spacecraft investigating a beacon that may indicate intelligent life, only to find themselves on a misty, dark, and yet strangely fascinating planet that harbors a very hostile life form--and where they find an ancient, derelict spacecraft complete with calcified alien remains.

But whereas ALIEN doesn't really get underway until the explorers leave the planet, VAMPIRES finds the explorers trapped on the planet--and possibly forever. The script is rather prefunctory, but the cast (which includes Barry Sullivan, Norma Bengell, Angel Aranda, Evi Marandi and Stelio Candelli) plays it in a tight-lipped and business-like manner that actually lends it a certain degree of credibility. But the real star of the film is the tone director Mario Bava brings to the piece: a combination of languid tempo and hypnotic visuals that keep you glued to the screen--not so much via suspense as by style alone.

PLANET OF THE VAMPIRES isn't a film that will have you on the edge of your seat. Indeed, in many respects the story is remarkably predictable--and any one taken aback by the "surprise" ending obviously doesn't get out too much. But it is a fascinating thing to watch, and sci-fi/horror fans who like their films heavy on atmosphere, interesting cinematography, and truly remarkable designs will want this one their shelf. Recommended.

This little known film introduced themes and images that would be copied from Star Trek and 2001 to Alien. It is a masterwork of imagination. It may be hard for our eyes to look past some weak effects but it is worth the effort.

Plenty of expectations, party because of the rating, partly because of King's involvement, then it totally let me down...

great short story from Stephen King adapted into a movie with Miguel Ferrer nontheless. basically about some murders and Ferrer goes on the hunt about this plane and a mysteryous secret that will be revealed to him in the end. the end is the highlight with all the bodies coming alive and then Ferrer sorta chops them into pieces and its all an illusion of the mind, that was great. for King buffs, others might want to steer clear of the ending if your sqeamish

I really liked this movie. I thought at first it'd be a corny, low-budget horror flick, but that all changed after I started watching it. This movie kept your suspense right up to the end while feeding fairly generous helpings of blood and gore along the way. The ending is fantastic, and it surprises you as well. As for the actual horror scare-factor, nothing really "horror" comes up until the last 30 minutes, but oh BOY does it get "oh-my-word-I-have-to-turn-this-off" scary! The only thing I didn't like about this movie was... well the showed the Night Flier's face on the cover!! Luckily I saw it on Sci-Fi channel before I got a look at the cover, but it ruins it a bit because you already know what the thing looks like before you see the movie. But it doesn't matter; it's a great movie overall :-)

..

No doubt about it, the guys are HOT! I wouldn't mind enrolling in that school! If it wasn't for the good looking guys, this movie would be a total dud. The acting stinks, the special effects are cheap and the whole story is just idiotic, but damn is it fun to watch the boys during their "nightmares". If you are looking for some eye candy and a good laugh, this movie is for you.

I love horror movies, especially the low budget popcorn fare that Full Moon churns out, I had no idea this movie was even affiliated with Full Moon until I saw their name on the back of the box. By Full Moon standards, this is the bottom of the barrel in terms of acting, story and effects. Give me Subspecies, Castle Freak or Puppetmaster anytime!

The whole guys as victims angle interested me from the get go, I was dissapointed that they guys weren't "stalked" as mentioned in other reviews. I guess I had this whole vision of guys being leered at and eventually made to run away from the stalker, you know, like a good old fashioned slasher film. Oh well.

As far as the DVD is concerned, I was a bit upset that the feature itself was not 3 hours as listed on all the website descriptions I read(which may be a good thing), but the entire DVD including supplements runs 3 hours, buyer beware. The back of the box also states that there is a DVD-Rom photo gallery, where the heck is that?

I love cheap horror movies, I love watching guys in their underwear bump and grind and rub themselves (even if there is no full on nudity)and if you have 90 minutes or so to spare and you aren't too picky, buy this DVD! It's definately a "guilty pleasure" and a lot of fun if you are into it.

This is a dumb movie, only watch it for all the guys. That is about all it is worth.

I liked this movie. The acting was down right horrible. It seems like they took a bunch of underwear models and gave them acting jobs. The direction is horrible. You can often spot the boom mic at the top of the screen. The plot is confusing. I guess this devil woman puts a spell on the boys at the school that makes them touch themselves during the night for some reason. Meanwhile she turns one of the boys into a voodoo doll to I guess make a zombie army. It all doesn't make sense but who cares? This movie is down right FUNNY! I hope the director wanted this to be a comedy because I had tears in my eyes. I felt like I was watching an episode of Saturday Night Live. The actors didn't even look like they were taking themselves seriously. And the best part of all is the ultra dull special features. You get to watch the making of this movie and the director gets to show off his knowledge on how to make a movie. It is then you understand how this film can be so bad. And then he tries to show off his knowledge of blue screens and CGI. The guy cracks me up. The crew working on this movie look like they've been hired off the street. They fumble around like they're not sure what to do or where to go. Voodoo Academy is a classic!

this one has Tony Todd reprising his role as the Candyman. good horror and the story drags here and there but its fast going and enjoyable nontheless. Todd knows how to stick it to the people, especially in the beginning where the guy is sliced in the bathroom. other scenes like when the cop chants the guys name in the mirror and suddenly he is hooked and he is thrown out of the window, then the brother of the woman gets shot down I thought was a highlight in the movie. it tells also of how Candyman came to be, he was a slave and they caught him with some guys daughter, they tortured him and cut off him hand(thats where his hook comes in at) then they rub honey all over him and the bees just start crawling on him. its pure fun if you can stand the slow pace and some wooden dialouge but in the end it pays off.

They don't make horror movies like they used to. (Shining, Omen, Exorcist.) If you happen to be browsing by the Horror movie section, skip the Friday the 13th, and the Holloweens, rent this one instead. And if you are building a Horror movie DVD library, include this one. I saw the first one and honestly I liked them both equally. The blonde this time is Canadian Kelly Rowan being pursued by Candyman Tony Todd. There's plenty of blood, and screaming and the New Orleans setting is also a nice touch. I dropped the fifth star because I'm an old hag at horror movies and still waiting for a really scary one.

Candyman: Farewell to the Flesh takes up the story of the Candyman legend and runs with it, giving us a much greater understanding of the man who would become the hook-gutting avenger of wronged souls; it offers a short and respectable summary of the first movie and then proceeds not to redo what has happened before but to carve its own name indelibly in the flesh of cinematic horror. I think this movie stands as a testament to proper sequel-making in the horror movie genre.

I love the opening sequence of this film. The smarmy academic professor who is an expert on the Candyman but does not believe in him (the same man who needled Helen as she worked on her project in the original movie) is speaking about his new book in a New Orleans bookstore. Naturally, he proves his disbelief by theatrically calling out Candyman's name five times in front of his own reflection. Let's just say he ends up a convert to the Candyman religion. Then we meet Annie Tarrant (Kelly Rowan), a devoted schoolteacher in a poor neighborhood of town. Her brother is accused of killing the lecturing professor, but Annie does not believe his own statements of guilt. She believes something about her father's death is responsible for her brother's unexplainable behavior. That death, we learn, precipitated an enduring tragedy in the Tarrant family. Annie's mother is dying of cancer and seems to be holding something back from her questioning daughter. Annie herself, foolishly trying to prove to her frightened students that Candyman isn't real, calls him, and then things really get ugly. People die, many of them Tarrants, and the Candyman seems to engage in some sort of romantic courtship of Annie. Tarrant family secrets are eventually revealed, and in the process we get a bird's-eye view of the suffering inflicted upon Daniel Robitaille a century earlier - for those who don't know, he was lynched for having loved a white woman; his right hand was cut off with a rusty blade, and then he was smeared with honey and left at the mercy (or lack of it) of a whole colony of angry bees.

By the end of the movie, Candyman is not some horrible monster bent on destruction just because he enjoys gutting people; he is quite real, and his humanity shines through the robes of gore he has wrapped himself in over the decades. If you saw off his hand, will he not jam a hook in the stub of his arm and start gutting people? If you scratch his face, will not hordes of bees pour forth from his body? I love Candyman; he really is one of the most complex, sympathetic yet disturbing "monsters" wandering the horror universe today. Much of the credit for his power must go to Tony Todd, who portrays him brilliantly. Maybe the ending of this movie leaves a little bit to be desired, but the journey features some pretty decent gore and a lot of almost philosophical horror ruminations. If you want to call Candyman, go ahead; he's real enough to me that I'm not going to do it.

As a fan of both the HBO series and the general horror genre, I can say without a doubt that "Bordello of Blood" is THE WORST movie I've seen thus far. Not only is the script more poorly written than in "Demon Knight," but even the gory effects appeared fake. Basically, Corey Feldman plays a rebellious heavy metal freak named Caleb who (along with his drunken friends) enter the McCutcheon mortuary for one purpose: to have a good, dirty time with XXX prostitutes in a single night of sex and alcohol. However, these bare naked girls turn out to be a coven of ravenous, lustful vampires who want to eat the boys' hearts out...literally! And, of course, they are all led by Lilith (Angie Everhart), the most bloodthirsty Madam from Hell.
Later on, Dennis Miller steps into the picture as Rafe Guttman, a mumbling detective who is hired to investigate Caleb's disappearance. Rafe is given the assignment by Caleb's virginal sister Katherine (Erika Eleniak), who couldn't get any aid from the police because they won't take her seriously. Meanwhile, Katherine herself provides spiritual support to Reverend Current (Chris Sarandon), a televangelist who regularly broadcasts from his own high-tech, crystal cathedral (the robotic Devil was a nice touch, by the way!) Then, of course, it's discovered that the Reverend isn't as righteous as he pretends to be, since HE was responsible for financially supporting Lilith's resurrection (all for the Lord's work, no doubt!) As Rafe gets closer to solving his case, he's repeatedly seduced by Lilith's obscene charms, and soon it's up to him to kill all of the vampires and destroy the bordello.
I'm sure "Bordello of Blood" will be a cinematic pleaser for anyone wanting to see mindless violence and sleaze. Splatter movie fans will undoubtedly enjoy witnessing topless vampire vixens ooze and explode in the out-of-control climax; this is the part where Rafe and the Reverend shoot holy water out of toy super-soakers. Even better is the moment when Rafe chops into Lilith's shoulder blade with an axe, and she flips the bird just before vanishing into thin air. Even Reverend Current reminds Rafe that the only way to kill Lilith is to cut her heart into four pieces (how nice!). Sadly, such grisly sequences are all this movie has to offer. I personally became offended in seeing the overabundance of Playboy nudity and bondage. There's even a scene where Aubrey Morris's mortician character fondles a female corpse, who he named "Mrs. Fat." WAS THAT REALLY NECESSARY?? HOW DISGUSTING!! As far as the acting goes, it's even MORE HORRIBLE! Dennis Miller is an unfunny comedian. Chris Sarandon does nothing more than adapt a sore stereotype of any televangelist. Erika Eleniak and Corey Feldman are more decent performers; to me, they appeared to struggle hard with the putrid dialogue written for them. Out of everyone in the cast, Crypt-Keeper was probably the best actor in the entire film! I beg you, kiddies, PLEASE AVOID THIS FILM AT ALL COSTS! OTHERWISE, YOU WILL HATE YOURSELF!!

For those of you who have not seen this movie before, this is at least worth renting. Angie Everheart is the most beautiful vampire to ever hit the screen. She is very powerful and seductive at the same time. If you are a Dennis Miller fan then this movie is a must see, it reaks of his sarcasm and wit. This is one of those movies that you don't have to wonder if they are following the traditional vampire theme or not. It has beautiful women, a little gore, and a whole lot of humor.

if you like gory and funny movies you just have to get "bordello of blood". it's one of those rare "funsplatter"-movies like "braindead", "bad taste" or its prequel "demon knight". for those who don't know that kind of movies - it means: little story but much dark humor and lots of entrails and stuff flying around =)
with the price of 10$ i think it's also worth the try for people who don't know the genre and are curious :) (and if you like "bordello of blood" then get "demon knight" which is even funnier - IMO the story is better too)

Meanwhile, Katherine herself provides spiritual support to Reverend Current (Chris Sarandon), a televangelist who regularly broadcasts from his own high-tech, crystal cathedral (the robotic Devil was a nice touch, by the way!) Then, of course, it's discovered that the Reverend isn't as righteous as he pretends to be, since HE was responsible for financially supporting Lilith's resurrection (all for the Lord's work, no doubt!) As Rafe gets closer to solving his case, he's repeatedly seduced by Lilith's obscene charms, and soon it's up to him to kill all of the vampires and destroy the bordello.
I'm sure "Bordello of Blood" will be a cinematic pleaser for anyone wanting to see mindless violence and sleaze. Splatter movie fans will undoubtedly enjoy witnessing topless vampire vixens ooze and explode in the out-of-control climax; this is the part where Rafe and the Reverend shoot holy water out of toy super-soakers. Even better is the moment when Rafe chops into Lilith's shoulder blade with an axe, and she flips the bird just before vanishing into thin air. Even Reverend Current reminds Rafe that the only way to kill Lilith is to cut her heart into four pieces (how nice!). Sadly, such grisly sequences are all this movie has to offer. I personally became offended in seeing the overabundance of Playboy nudity and bondage. There's even a scene where Aubrey Morris's mortician character fondles a female corpse, who he named "Mrs. Fat." WAS THAT REALLY NECESSARY?? HOW DISGUSTING!! As far as the acting goes, it's even MORE HORRIBLE! Dennis Miller is an unfunny comedian. Chris Sarandon does nothing more than adapt a sore stereotype of any televangelist. Erika Eleniak and Corey Feldman are more decent performers; to me, they appeared to struggle hard with the putrid dialogue written for them. Out of everyone in the cast, Crypt-Keeper was probably the best actor in the entire film! I beg you, kiddies, PLEASE AVOID THIS FILM AT ALL COSTS! OTHERWISE, YOU WILL HATE YOURSELF!!

For those of you who have not seen this movie before, this is at least worth renting. Angie Everheart is the most beautiful vampire to ever hit the screen. She is very powerful and seductive at the same time. If you are a Dennis Miller fan then this movie is a must see, it reaks of his sarcasm and wit. This is one of those movies that you don't have to wonder if they are following the traditional vampire theme or not. It has beautiful women, a little gore, and a whole lot of humor.

if you like gory and funny movies you just have to get "bordello of blood". it's one of those rare "funsplatter"-movies like "braindead", "bad taste" or its prequel "demon knight". for those who don't know that kind of movies - it means: little story but much dark humor and lots of entrails and stuff flying around =)
with the price of 10$ i think it's also worth the try for people who don't know the genre and are curious :) (and if you like "bordello of blood" then get "demon knight" which is even funnier - IMO the story is better too)
