Blood Hunters (2016)

Purely Joyful Movie!

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This is a refreshing take on the creature genre. The filmmaking team managed to balance the scares, tension and suspense with great character work that drew me into the story. The writing was great and the directing was superb. Can't wait to see what they come up with next!

This movie made no sense. None. zero. zip. People with no reason to be around are around; monsters that supposedly hunt for blood yet let pools of blood lie around un-lapped in a hospital. Oh, did I say hospital? I mean animal-testing center. At one point a woman in the building said it was an underground facility. Yet, there's the sun, shining bright in all its glory in an open doorway.As of course, everyone is trying their best to get out of this crazed facility, but when the priest (?) opens up the outside gate no one leaves. As a matter of fact, a man and woman do, then change their mind and GO BACK IN to face more carnage.Why a priest is needed in an animal research facility is beyond me. Maybe they think their monsters need salvation. Hell, they even built a chapel for the priest. The woman who is so clever than she can wirelessly turn on the facility's lights from the chapel is unable to unlock the exit doors? And then there are the monsters themselves - nothing but ridiculous white rubber costumes with people in them simply walking around on all fours. Blood Hunters is an INSULT to movie making. Why did I sit through the full 90 minutes? My friend cooked me a good dinner and I was starving; the least I could do is show my appreciation by sitting through this ridiculous flick. What a waste of time.

Style is everything and this low budget horror film doesn't have much of it.The premise is interesting. A woman overdoses and awakens pregnant in a hospital underground. There are monsters and they're not a bad idea, just underused.The acting, dialogue and pacing is sub-par. Could have been a good film with a little more effort. The director tries several different story angles and none of them works. Never really got off the ground and ending was disappointing. Low budget is not an excuse to make bad films. See my review of "Southbound" for a low budget horror film that is excellent on a low budget.

Ellie Barnes (Lara Gilchrist) loves her son and heroin. She overdoses in the street and wakes up pregnant in a hospital room strapped to a table. She manages to get herself loose, but the staff appears to be dead and emergency generator is running low. After scrambling around she finds enough people to make a film and discover people/creatures in latex suits with bug eyes are after them for their blood, with the details given later.The film is monsters after people, and people trying to figure out a plan. There is some bad theology, a developing love story and a tear-jerker moment too. Much of the early part consists of Lara grunting, sniveling, panting, and breathing heavy while trying to hide. She grew tiresome fast. And PLOT SPOILER: When I lose a hand, a lot of blood and then cauterize it with a stove top, I am generally down for a good 20 minutes or more.Guide: F-word. Corpse nudity. No sex.
