PodBill Just what I expected

Steineded How sad is this?

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Woodyanders It's hard to believe any film that blends aliens and vampires together could turn out to be such a stinker, but alas writer/director Jon Sorensen manages to fumble the ball something terrible in every possible way. For starters, the pace crawls at a painfully sluggish rate while the sloppy narrative meanders all over the place without ever acquiring any focus, tension, or momentum. Worse yet, Sorensen brings a heavy-handed pretentious artsy-fartsy sensibility to the movie that sucks all the fun out of it. The poorly staged action scenes consist mostly of clumsy martial arts that are done in groan-inducing strenuous slow motion. The cruddy (far from) special effects (the CGI alien is simply pathetic), underwhelming acting from an insipid cast, cheesy gore, and ugly cinematography add further abject insult to already appalling injury. Only some tasty gratuitous female nudity -- plus one guy who goes full monty for the ladies -- and Glyn Whiteside's lively portrayal of the ruthless Jouvet provide some slight relief from the overall tedium. A dismal dud.

Bezenby This is a weird, weird film. It's the last day of the millennium, and MIBs are chasing two women and two kids through the Lake District, only these folk are really aliens and MIBs have to catch them before the dawn of the new millennium, I think. After a few gunfights they end up at the house of James Dracula and some other vampires, who are having a millennium party. Oh, and there's a psychic and one of the aliens is pregnant. At first, this ultra-low budget film plays out like a crappy Matrix style alien chase film with very arty pretensions (loads of standing around looking wistful) and some pretty awful martial arts and bad acting. Once we get to the vampire's house, the film decides to turn into some sort of sex comedy for a while, with Dracula creeping about the house having his advances rebuffed by various female vampires. Not a lick of this makes any sense but once the alien turns up and kills Dracula, the rest of the vampires gang together to take on the MIBs, who attack the house en masse (save for one vampire, who turns out to be the brother of the leader of the MIBs). If there was an explanation for any of this, I may have missed it between dozing during the arty, slow motion poignant shots of people staring at each other for minutes at a time while candles flickered in the foreground. You've got bagpipe players, jugglers, lustful farmers, French speaking aliens, Dracula, references to a 'fuel curfew', really, truly dire CGI (nearly forgot to mention that !) and the result is a truly head scratching film that raises so many questions that you're neighbours will think you've gone crazy while you're screaming "Why?" at the television over and over again. Is it enjoyable though? For those looking for the weird and obscure, it's worth a shot. For sci-fi fans I wouldn't touch this with a bargepole. I kind of enjoyed it for it's weirdness factor, but I couldn't make head nor tail of the quirky premises the film was throwing at me. It did have plenty of nudity and gore in it if that's your thing. Be warned though: This is by no means a good film. Watch out during the house attack sequence for how many times they recycle footage of the MIBs running around. They use one shot about ten times!

z1badkarma For me Alien Blood represents a true indi film experience! It's the type of film where no two can agree as to what its about.Jon Sorenson has crafted a haunting maze of images that are at times so breathtaking that its worth seeing Alien Blood for that alone. Indeed I felt I was on a very cool acid trip as I watched the story unfold and develop. It's a film that boldly goes where the `X-Files' should have gone but never had the guts! Ya gotta love it.Add to that a pure visual approach to the story telling and you enter the land of CINEMA - a story told with images, mood, events, without relying on insipid explanatory `spoon fed' dialog. Bravo!Mr. Sorenson's expertise in SFX is well played as he create some the best indi EFX I have ever seen. The Efx are worth the wait and bring the film to its dramatic crescendo much like the arrival of the mothership in Close Encounters of the Third Kind.Finally there is the very hand use of erotica which is so subtle and sensual that to say more would burst the glowing bubble of it in my mind.All said - the truth is way out there baby!

adam-groves In the realm of budget-lite, digitally shot horror/sci fi flicks (see THE DIVIDING HOUR, SHATTER DEAD, etc.), the British import ALIEN BLOOD is far above average. There's not much in the way of a story, but the CGI effects, achieved at a fraction of the cost of MINORITY REPORT'S catering bill, are extremely impressive; it helps, clearly, that the film's creator Jon Sorensen is a veteran FX man.Still, what puts ALIEN BLOOD over the top is the sheer inventiveness and imagination Sorensen injects into this wonderful melange of aliens, gore and bickering vampires (with such a mix, you simply CAN NOT go wrong). Here's hoping he'll go on to bigger and better things.
