Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

suite92 Hank is an LA detective, and his wife Susan has left him. He follows her. A fool tries to rob him at gun point; Hank disarms him, then proceeds to beat the crap out of him. His captain reads him the riot act, then gives him a new assignment: find out about young women who go into raves, then go missing.Meanwhile, Susan is on TV on the book circuit, selling her latest book on vampires, and dating an actor. Hank starts his assignment, and meets vampires the first night. He gets close to a female vampire, Layla. They saunter through a den where an orgy is going on. Then Hank starts to see the vampires feeding on their human partners. He shoots several of them; the leader claims him and bites him on the neck. He wakes up in an abandoned office floor.He has a lot to answer for, and he tries to be honest about his experience. 'Vampires did it' was not well-received.Hank reconnects with Layla. Two officers intervene, but Layla kills them both. He awakes the next morning, and the evidence is gone.Hank starts to turn to being a vampire. He seeks the help of his ex, but she is the opposite of helpful. When she starts to recognize his change, she goes for another plan: use him to get a story for another book or three. Susan convinces him to help her get to the leader, so she can know so much more, and, as a collateral matter, perhaps keep Hank from becoming a vampire.Layla and friend break in; the vampires are about to eat Susan when Susan's new friend and his private detective burst in. The vampires kill them and eat them, then leave with the rising morning sun. Before leaving, they tell Hank that he has 24 hours before he turns.Hank and Susan find the nest. Hank handcuffs Susan to a railing, then goes in alone after giving her his cell phone. What could possibly go wrong?-----Scores------Cinematography: 8/10 Good, but not great.Sound: 8/10 OK.Acting: 5/10 Lance Henriksen was competent as usual. Kevin Dillon was better than I expected, but Vanessa Angel was worse. The side actors were unimpressive.Screenplay: 5/10 The plot meanders somewhat aimlessly at times, but at least there is a plot. Too many times, a large chunk of vampire rules gets introduced suddenly from left field. That seemed to be one of the purposes of the Susan character. Hank wears one shirt (that I could see) during the film. Yet the blood stains on it change remarkably more than once.

slayrrr666 "Out for Blood" is nothing new to the vampire genre, but there is some redeeming values in it.**SPOILERS**After a few too many warrants for bad behavior, police officer Hank Holten, (Kevin Dillon) is reprimanded and sent off by Captain John Billings, (Lance Henriksen) on a missing person's case. Spotting the young girl, Layla, (Jodi Lynn O'Keefe) at a night club, he follows her inside and witnesses a massive vampire orgy. Bitten in the process but escaping, Layla convinces him that he was bitten by a vampire. He can't convince anyone what happened, and eventually tracks down his ex-girlfriend, Susan Hastings, (Vanessa Angel) a novelist of vampire books, and manages to get her on his side. Together, they track down the leader of the vampire cult that bit him before he becomes a vampire himself.The Good News: There are a few really nice moments in here. As a special effects extravaganza, it isn't all that bad. The head vampire in particular has some great design work on him, with huge ridges on the face, pointed ears, a pronounced face and a short, pug-like snout which makes him look really demonic. It's a great look, and his initial appearance makes great use of his presence. The special effects also extend to the deaths, and are quite brutally done. With some gory neck-biting that actually looks like biting, a tongue bitten off, a really impressive decapitation with an unexpected object, and the requisite staking, they all come off quite nicely. The highlight is the massive orgy, which is quite nice to see in a film like this where gratuitous nudity is making a comeback, and to do it in such a well-done sequence is nice to see. It's all there to please any fan of such scenes, which makes it that much more well done. As clichéd as the ending is, it does provide one of the best gags in the film, where a character appears in a room despite the person watching it on a monitor can't seen them on it. A really well-done touch that shouldn't work but does.The Bad News: There really wasn't a whole lot to this one, as much of what's wrong is due to the fact that almost nothing happens in here. After getting introduced to the plot-line fairly late into the film, the main action in the beginning of the film is the massive orgy scene, and it's just a matter of personal taste whether that will appeal or not. If it doesn't, then the opening boredom will register more with them than others, as it's really the only thing remotely close to action that we get, and it's not all that spectacular beyond the nudity. It's all fairly hokey and ends rather climatically, not having anything to do with the one hero in the film. It's not until the ending confrontation were it starts to pick up, and it's not that special when it occurs. That and the orgy are also examples of the fact that the film is way to shy about going forward on the action. What should be big action scenes meant to drum up excitement in the proceedings, they're far too lackadaisical to be considered action in here, and when it comes upon such scenes, it seems to back away and go around them, which is a major cheat to the audience. These should've been the moments where it becomes obvious as to what's going on, but they're just reminders of the film's biggest flaw, which is that nothing really happens here for it to break away from it's clichéd tag. Just about all the elements are here, and can be spotted fairly quickly. The wavering cop, the sympathetic captain, the vampire's nightlife in a rave, the continuing exploits to resist the change into a vampire, and the one expert who knows what's going on to a clueless and rejecting head in charge are simply some of the clichés in here, and it would have a lot more in here as well. These major flaws hold the film back.The Final Verdict: If you can overlook the lack of action, the clichés and the meandering pace, there might be some enjoyment in this one, as it does have some positive things about it. It's nothing major vampire fans have seen before, so they might wanna exercise caution before delving into one like this, while more casual horror fans might give it a try if at nothing else.Rated R: Graphic Language, Graphic Violence, Nudity and several S&M related sex scenes

LuboLarsson This film is bad, bad, bad. It is so absolutely moronic it is an insult to the viewer. If you need to know how bad an actress Vanessa Angel is in this film she makes Kevin Dillon look good! Thats how bad she is. She says her lines if someone is holding a big board with all the words behind the camera, in big letters. OK maybe she knew how bad this film is but she could have least looked like shes trying. Lance Henrikson at least tries to add some quality to the film although it doesn't deserve it. I have seen only about three Kevin Dillon films in my life Platoon, Catholic Boys and No Escape. This is the first film I have seen him in about ten years if this is the sort of rubbish he is making I hope its another ten years. They even have the nerve to steal a line from Total Recall in this movie, a very famous line! If you want to see a decent Vampire film put The Lost Boys in your DVD player instead. Avoid this the lame effort.

eadverts In fact my diarrhea is more well formed than this thing. It's hard to believe any of these people can be considered actors. Maybe it's the directors fault, but these people look like they just got their lines minutes before rehearsal and told to get into character by pretending they can't act. Although in most cases it wasn't an act that they can't act. I almost refused to watch this when I saw that Melissa Rivers was a part of the cast, that alone should be the death knell for any movie, but being a sometimes fan of Vanessa Angel and hoping she is going to have a breakout role where she can prove her acting chops, I thought I would watch. What a mistake!!!! In Vanessa's first scene with Melissa it looks like she has to swallow all of her pride just to sit there with that hack Rivers and spit out such crazy stupid dialog. Oh, Why can't Ms. Angel work with the Farrelly Bros. again??!! At least she would have a chance to work with real actors and directors again. I thought that Kevin Dillon would be able to give a decent performance considering his recent work on "Entourage". Nope.I didn't even recognize Lance Henriksen. He should have played one of the vampires. He already looks like the walking dead.Avoid at all costs. Unless your into this kind of thing. Then maybe this horrible review will lower your expectations so much that you might actually enjoy what little might be enjoyable.
