Bloodlust Zombies (2011)

Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Well, what can you say about this that hasn't been said already? I enjoyed it! That's different, huh? As said before this is a micro-budget zombie film made with a no name cast. okay, maybe Alexis Texas is a name somewhere, but probably not really. I have to give kudos to people pursuing their passions and actually getting a film made and on IMDb and streaming through Netflix is an accomplishment.The movie was corny and porny. The plot was weak and rehashed, but if you watch it just for the ridiculous "sex" scenes and fantasy scenes, plus add the squirting bright red blood...well, have a few drinks or hallucinogenics and it's a fun watch. If you are a fan of Ed Wood you'll probably like Bloodlust Zombies.Oh and a shout out to the temp, Lauren Todd. Nice work. you added some sincere laughs which I think were actually supposed to be funny.

I had to give it a 1 out of 10 because it would not let me give it a 0. How can this terrible thing be classed as a "film"? It's downright embarrassing, I felt embarrassed for how awkward the filming must've been with the appalling actors, the whole storyline was the stupidest thing I have ever followed.. it's one of those films that makes me want that wasted time back.I'm not going to spoil it for anyone who stills goes through with it and watches this, there's nothing to really spoil, it's that bad. Worst "zombie" "film" I've seen, ever. And for whoever likes zombie films and has watched most of them, you know there are some really embarrassingly bad ones out there already, and this beats them all.

Judging this thing at film standards would be like blaming a duck for not knowing second degree equations or like judging Mr. Spielberg's work in horticulture.I am sure that the cast and the crew are all around great guys in their personal lives, but when it comes down to film they are incompetent. If you chop it into small web-isodes, this "film" wouldn't even get thumbs up as a weekly podcast on YT.Let's see: Script - appalling; Acting - appalling; Lightning - appalling; Visual and Special Effects - appalling, Editing - Oh my God; Music - appalling; Sound Design - almost nonexistent.The main star of the movie, Alexis Texas, has fewer scenes than other supporting cast members, which is ridiculous to say the least. It is also a shame because she has that "je ne sais quoi" quality about her.Having said that, it is very easy to bash in pixels and diminish someone's work and though I felt that it would deserve a harsh review, I changed my mind and here is why I decided to write the most positive criticism I can about this "film"..I sat and watched heroically throughout the entire thing and there were moments where I actually burst into uncontrollable laughter because all the deliberately funny scenes were completely lacking any amusement and the more serious scenes were actually creating involuntary humor through really bad acting and writing. It is sad really, and I feel bad for laughing because the director who is also the writer was trying hard to convey totally different emotions, but had no clue on how to do it. Working my way through the shear nonsense that fills this "film" and bypassing the enormity of the "action", I could faintly distinct and resonate with few very nice and grand ideas that the director tried to tackle. Of course he failed miserably but skill is something you gain mostly by failing not by winning. It is meaningless to go on trying to find other constructive criticism to write about this "movie", because there is nothing else good in it, as the rest is just a big pile of wasted film.I've seen a lot of very bad movies that have no redeeming qualities that deserve bad reviews, but in this case I really felt that there was -at least at some point- a good will and a sincere spirit to create something good and enjoyable. Unfortunately, in the way that it exists today, Bloodlust Zombies cannot be considered more than a draft cut of a B flick.If it makes any sense, I recommend this film only to those that like to gather among friends and comment B(ad) movies for some genuine giggles, or to those more serious persons who have enough patience necessary to find and glimpse a beautiful idea drowned in an ocean of junk.Call me crazy but here is ten out of ten stars from me only for encouragement and a faint hope of something better to come in the next years from the same director.

I only watched this movie because I am a huge fan of genre specific comedy/horror b-films. Of course all of these years in the b movie business they put porn stars such as the beautiful Alexis Texas in this flick. The camera quality is poor, not to a standard A list movie. But there have been numerous B-movies that I have seen that use better direction and film quality. The best acting is achieved by miss Texas in this film. but it still lacks the quality of good actors and production. It just seems too much like a softcore, cinemax late night pornography flick. I give miss Texas a 10/10 for her acting just because she has expeirence in the film industry. But the other actors are just horrible. I would suggest this film to an Alexis Texas fan, but other than that its a complete waste of time to watch.
