Rating: Summary: 'Alien Blood' drained the life from me........ Review: 'Alien blood' was a bitter disappointment for me. This movie is just bad, bad, bad. Now I generally like B horror movies but not this one. As soon as I saw it was filmed in England my heart sunk. It's starts off with some nice vistas of the English countryside and I'm thinking ok this might be cool. Then the pain begins. The characters in the first 15 minutes of the movie don't talk. I guess we are to assume they communicate by telepathy but it comes off really awkward. Next thing you know the scene changes to a house full of vampires.What? Lesbian vampires at that. Don't get excited. English women are not pretty. Not in this movie anyway. I can't even begin to explain the rest since I fast forwarded through it. This enabled me to quickly assertain there was nothing more to look forward to. The gore was extremely weak and cheesey beyond words. Worst of all there was no humor. If there was, I didn't get it. I would have gotten more pleasure from that 10 American dollars I spent on this movie if I would have rolled the bill up and shoved it in my eye. THERE ARE NO ALIENS IN THIS MOVIE!!! If you have the urge to dispell my criticism and buy this movie please send me the 10 dollars instead and I will send you my VHS copy of 'Crossroads'with Britney Spears. That way we both come out ahead.
Rating: Summary: ALIEN BLOOD! Review: At one point I actually forgot this was a Troma film! Actually, this was an English import by Troma, which sort of proves somebody at that studio has decent taste in films! The story is about a bunch of white-masked assassins who relentless pursue a mother and daughter across rural England! To make things even more interesting, Helene (Francesca Manning) is pregnant and plagued by terrifying visions!...This one has science-fiction, vampires and a whole lot of violence in this 1999 film from director Jon Sorensen! "Alien Blood" gets a bit arty at times, but you have to admire the way Sorensen blends so many disparate elements! An above average alien/vampire/splatter flick!

Rating: Summary: WOW!!!!! Review: Genius, what more can be said. A budget equivelant to the pocket money I recived as a child yet spent with more panache! Acting that is camp, scary and engrossing. The lead vampire will be seen again, of that I have no doubt.

Rating: Summary: ALIEN BLOOD Review: I am not usually a 'splatter/horror movie' fan, but I found this film unusual and totally engrossing. Shot with great elan and some gorgeous camerawork in the beautiful English Lake District, ALIEN BLOOD combines elements of sci-fi, horror, action movie and thriller to make an intriguing and VERY fast-moving story. In fact it is so fast you have to keep your wits about you, which is perhaps the reason why the viewer who found the film 'confusing' was confused! Director JON SORENSON gets five stars from me for this bold venture: more power to his elbow and I look forward to his next movie. Let's hope it comes soon.
Rating: Summary: Bloody Confusing Review: I read a viewer review of this who says it's not like other Troma films - because it's made in England. Well it is like other Troma films - it's bad!This film is strange. A group of men trying to kill a group of alien women who all seem to be converging on a house in England that just happens to have several vampires staying there; one of them happens to be Dracula !?! All the alien women are blonde, one speaks only French, & all of them do martial arts - and all have to be at some certain location before the clock strikes mid-night on 12th December 1999!?! There is very little vampirism, so vampire buffs can give this film a miss. (These vampires are killed just as easily as any mortal.) Give this film a miss.
Rating: Summary: They weren't real vampires, It's a party! Review: This film starts like a Ken Russell film, lots of open space and idyllic shots, lulling you into a soft mood, then "boom!" Off we go! The people at the party admit it's a dress-up affair, they ain't the undead. The violence is gritty and realistic, the gunplay frantic and bloody. If you have a problem with Aliens doing Martial Arts, what about Worf from Star Trek? You wouldn't have bought the "two hearts" thing if they just biffed people on the nose either, so the goodly crunch of a fast spin kick sells the strength of the aliens. If you didn't see aliens, you were off making a cuppa. The SFX were really spectacular, I was entertained.
Rating: Summary: This is as good as it gets. Review: This gore fest from Jon Sorrensson (I think he did the special effects for the "Alien" series of films) is a low budget classic. It is set in the lovely Lake District and shows british film making in a very good light. MORE OF THE SAME PLEASE.
