A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Back in the day, I watched a sleek sexy lil CYBORGER Actioner called NEMESIS; the plot of the movie was 2 Rival cyborg factions were warring. A rogue info smuggling cyborg is caught between the factions smuggling information, and his loyalties are tested. This is the grade-B version of that str8 2 video debacle. Instead of Cyborgs we have 2 rival Vampire factions, or vampires and vampire slayers IDUNNO. And our hero is an ALIEN it doesn't matter its us an excuse to have super-powers. And by super-powers I don't mean to see into the future, to walk-thru walls or fly. It's the ability to dodge or take 300 bullets. Bottom line the heroine's daughter and unborn child double as the information, he was trying to smuggle. It's slow-rent and slow compared to the original but its just fast enough and interesting enough to keep me watching.

Oh, dear God! I actually had to invent a new word to describe this film. So here it is; craparamic. Jon Sorensson has created an epic worthy of the greatest stage. And here's why; 1) The tagline. 'They want your blood'. Now, Jon old boy, who the bloody hell are you talking about? You never explain it, you geriatric old genius 2)Storyline. Oh, yes! Seriously, you have included vampires, aliens and, best of all, the Karate Kid in this film and yet it still achieves a level of lameness seldom seen outside of Hull. You are truly gifted.3)Special effects. How much did you actually spend on these? I reckon you just found a random tramp, gave him a bag of crisps and a commodore 64 and, wella!, the rest is (as they say) history.4)Acting. Seriously - I have seen more intelligence at the bottom of ponds, Jon. At the bottom of ponds. And the fact you added the 'twist' (hahaha!) of there being brothers? What a genius way to disguise the fact that you could not afford two actors the quality of... Well done, Jon. Well done.5)Oh God, to hell with it. I loved this film! It is really awful but, having just watched it (again) with my housemates I really can say I haven't laughed so much for a long time. Sorensen for an Oscar, OBE, hell even a knighthood? You heard it here first

Not entirely successful. One review said that when this movie was relying solely on music and images, it worked. Compromised by the vampire stuff and dialogue. I'd go along with that. Beautiful when it worked, awful when it did'nt. It tries something new and I'm hard put to think of something else like it, anywhere. It's a puzzle. All the women in it are strong. All the guys are jerks. Great visuals, though.Rumour is that Sorensen's next, "Seeker", is to be entirely without dialogue! Just music and images with Sorensen writing the music himself.We'll see. This was worth the little I paid for it, though. Can't carp about that. Few films are made in the UK these days as it is. Whatever else, Sorensen knew what he was doing you can sense, even if no-one else did. Give it a go is my advice. For the trippy visuals.

In the realm of budget-lite, digitally shot horror/sci fi flicks (see THE DIVIDING HOUR, SHATTER DEAD, etc.), the British import ALIEN BLOOD is far above average. There's not much in the way of a story, but the CGI effects, achieved at a fraction of the cost of MINORITY REPORT'S catering bill, are extremely impressive; it helps, clearly, that the film's creator Jon Sorensen is a veteran FX man.Still, what puts ALIEN BLOOD over the top is the sheer inventiveness and imagination Sorensen injects into this wonderful melange of aliens, gore and bickering vampires (with such a mix, you simply CAN NOT go wrong). Here's hoping he'll go on to bigger and better things.
