Blood Ranch (2006)

Thanks for the memories!

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Please, shoot me before I get roped in to watching another movie as bad as this. I thought that with all of the 10 ratings that it would get good at some point. I was wrong. "Spider" with his Dollar store clearance wig throughout, a transgender little person, a human dart board. I know you're wondering how a movie can miss with these elements. The plot was nonexistent, the southern accents were annoying and the premise that there are a bunch of degenerate guys just waiting for someone to stumble onto their little patch of land just don't make for a movie worth watching. I have to give them credit for not showing a bunch of gratuitous naked females. I just don't know why perfectly good actors would think that this was a movie worth making unless they were just trying to see how many people could be punked into watching it. It was a complete waste of time.

I almost spit-out my popcorn. It began with a very loose and care-free feel to it, then suddenly, the convenient store clerk and other people in the started acting morose and dreadful. The little girl sitting outside of the store was so cute, but monotone. I'm guessing she was the executive producers daughter or family friend. the other actors were entertaining and believable. the story overall was fun and scary.If you want to have good entertaining fun, rent this funny- scary movie. This movie actually reminds me of a parody of scary movie.The one thing I think you will enjoy is that the young ladies are all cute and sexy and pretty good actresses.

Look, the movies called "BLOOD RANCH" not "Orchids for Chocolate" or some such so don't go into to it with grand expectations and you'll be OK. While being fairly transgressive, the film never falls too deeply into torture porn territory and is campy enough for a few laughs.Season Hamilton is pretty easy on the eyes as the "Good Girl" and I was relieved we didn't have to see her abused in any sub-human way (although the same can't be said for everyone in this flick). I would have liked to see her running around topless maybe, but alas, that was not to be. In fact the complete lack of nudity was a little disappointing, but oh well.My one complaint was the depiction of rural Americans. In too many movies anyone who lives more than fifteen minutes from a 7-eleven is portrayed as a wild-eyed sex murderer- My experience as a rural American is quite the contrary- I lived the first half of my life as a child in the Mohave- the son of the leader of a cargo cult that worshiped an eight-ball shifter knob and a pair of old fuzzy dice and not once can I remember a single member of our "Family" kidnapping, torturing or raping anyone- let alone a car load of hip young people lost in the desert- although at times I can't say we weren't tempted.

**** Possible Spoiler Within ****I had a tough time voting on this one. I mean it had obvious elements from "House of 1000 Corpses", "Wolf Creek", and "The Hills Have Eyes". It was these parts that contained the real horror elements that were done well, and for those who appreciate these movies, well I'm sure you'll get yer kicks here too.The psychotic lack of empathy and the feeble attempt at a 'Charles Manson' type of philosophy are present here, as is the degrading circus freak show and the sickening gore fest. All this stuff doesn't really phase me anymore, but the rape scene was just totally unnecessary. I had to doc marks for that. Every time I watch these things I have to wonder if I've lost something of worth within my own self.The acting is horrible, I'll leave it at that. If you want to watch something that's far more gripping and has much more substance. I would suggest 'Oz' or 'Panic Room'.
