Spoonixel Amateur movie with Big budget

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Eddie Cantillo Tales From The Crypt :Bordella of Blood(1996) Starring:John Kassir, Dennis Miller, Erika Eleniak, Angie Everhart, Chris Sarandon, Corey Feldman, Aubrey Morris, Phil Fondacaro, and William Sadler Directed By:Gilbert Adler Review Hello kiddies your pal the crypt-critic here let me tell about a film so disappointing it had barely any blood to show for. The film is about a detective named Rafe who is on the search for the brother of a woman named Kathryn. During his investigation he makes the discovery that the woman in charge of all the missing men are seductress vampires. He must stop these vampires from spreading their business and eating the entire town. The movies not so fun premise is not the kind of lusting vampire film that I would want to sink my teeth into, it just feels like their could have been more or something. But there is one amazing sequence at the end that I'm going to go into detail but let's just say it has something to do with water guns. This was the second Tales from the crypt movie that was ever released, the first being demon night which is my favorite so far, but bordello is more for the adult-watching lust having vampire horror viewers out there and it if that's your thing then you can really sink your teeth into this. But if I want vampire-action I'll stick with Fright night(both of them) and Bram Stokers Dracula and the Bela Lugose one. This tale from the crypt is not as impressive as the last one,but it does have it's moments. I'm giving Bordello of Blood a two and a half out of five.

Phil Hubbs Another tongue in cheek blood 'n' guts rampage this time including lots of tits 'n' ass too...so its pretty darn good then. An unoriginal vampire tale this time, set in a brothel with lots of ladies eating biker types much like 'From Dusk Till Dawn' or 'Vamp' but nowhere near as good.Plot is pretty standard but like the previous Crypt flick is does have a wonderful array of makeup and prosthetic effects all over the show with blood squirting and fangs flying, nothing you haven't seen before but it looks good. Casting is drab but does include 80's horror comedy star Sarandon and 80's teen star Feldman both of which raise the film slightly, Angie Everhart looks delicious as 'Lilith'.You know what your gonna get with this franchise so your either gonna love it or hate it. Personally I view these films as a great opportunity to see fantastic examples of hands-on horror makeup effects, normally without much CGI, plus they are always good fun on a no-brainer level.6/10

gavin6942 The cryptkeeper (John Kassir) returns to tell the story of a funeral parlor that moonlights as a vampire bordello.The story of this film's creation and why it failed is amazing. It all starts with a script called "Dead Easy", which was a psychological thriller, and time was spent on it scouting locations in New Orleans. Then Universal pulled the plug because they had to do "Bordello of Blood". Producer A. L. Katz had no interest in "Bordello", but had to listen to his bosses. Why was Universal so insistent on "Bordello"?Because in order to keep Robert Zemeckis at Universal, which was seen as necessary, Universal agreed to option the very first script he and Bob Gale wrote together in film school, "Bordello of Blood". A.L. Katz and Gilbert Adler rewrote the mess of a script and Adler (who had plenty of experience from the show) directed. Producer Joel Silver wanted very badly to cast Dennis Miller in the lead role. Katz says, "I don't know that Dennis Miller was ideal casting." And further, Miller wanted nothing to do with the film. Rather than just turn them down flat, he said he would only do it if they paid him $1 million, which was absurd at the time, especially considering the film's low budget. Silver insisted, so Katz and Adler (who had no interest in Miller) had to ask Universal for the money, which they were not willing to do. They then said they had to take the extra money from elsewhere in the budget, which primarily meant the special effects. Even after getting the million dollars, Miller put no effort into his role and would not even read the correct lines. If any one factor can be blamed for this film's ultimate failure, it was Silver's love affair with Miller: this caused a budget crisis and put the lead role in the hands of someone who wanted nothing more than to be somewhere else.Amazingly, Silver-Miller was not the only problem. For example, because the studio was in a fight with the union, the production was moved to Vancouver, which does not work well for horror films: in summer, complete night only lasts three hours, making night shots almost impossible. Katz recalls, "It was like a painful colonoscopy every day... like standing there waiting to be shot at."But look at this amazing cast: Chris Sarandon, Corey Feldman, Dennis Miller, Angie Everhart, William Sadler and more... just wanted to point that out. Despite an overall bad film, this cast simply guarantees an enjoyable performance here and there.The film borrows somewhat from "Night Shift" (using a funeral home as a source of prostitution), and parallels "Dusk Till Dawn" with its use of loose women as vampires. I say parallels because the films came out the same year and I will just have to assume that any similarity in idea was purely coincidental.I do love that Feldman was quoted as saying Miller was a jerk on set. While I do not doubt this, as everyone seems to be in agreement, Feldman himself has quite the reputation for being disrespectful to his fans. (I could share stories about his behavior at conventions, but that would be personal and beside the point.) Perhaps the most interesting thing about this film is that apparently Jewish Stars of David have no affect on vampires whereas crosses do. This suggests that the Jewish faith is false and Christianity is the true way. Maybe I am assuming too much, but I have always found that fascinating how vampire tales reinforce the Christian religion, despite vampires themselves not being a part of the Bible.Despite the film being a cheesy, steamy pile of horse apples, it may actually be one of Scream Factory's best releases yet. The Katz commentary is incredible and priceless, covering the movie, television show, the world of horror TV, and he is brutally honest in his comments. You can learn more about film-making in 90 minutes listening to this commentary than you ever would in film school.There is also a great making-of documentary on the Blu-ray. Along with Katz are actors Corey Feldman and William Sadler, among others. There is even editor Stephen Lovejoy and effects creator Todd Masters. Everything you could want to know about this movie and its hurdles is here. Dennis Miller is conspicuously absent, and it would be nice to hear his side of things, but maybe it is more fun just hearing everyone else bash him.

Robert_Wagner62 What at 1st I thought was going to be a disappointing film, really surprised me and had my laughing as well as almost getting scared. Dennis Miller stole the show, even with the bordello full of beauties, Erika Eleniak, Angie Everhart and others, Dennis is in top notch form as the new Bob Hope in this gore & breast fest of one liners and jabs at the vampire world in general.You don't need to know the plot, you won't even care, if you want to laugh and get a bit scared, this is a great film to do that. Corey Feldman plays a misguided brother of Sweet Erika and Dennis Miller plays the Private Detective who is as funny as he is broke, hanging out at police stations looking for work...He needs to gain some respectability and Erika gives him the chance...You need to watch this film if you are a fan of the genre, Dennis had to be ad libbing, and as usual he is a excellent with puns & one liners...plainly the man is a comedic genius.
