Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

GL84 Arriving at a desolate mansion, a young man searching for his dead girlfriend finds that she has been turned into a vampire before he disappears, forcing his sister and her friend to come looking for him who discover the horrible truth about them and how to get away from the house alive.Frankly, this was a really enjoyable and interesting effort. One of the more appealing aspects of this one is the fact that it manages to really feel like a fantastic mixture of the different country's styles throughout here. The fact that it goes for a more traditional Western flavor in it's setup, from the large layout of the mansion and the the way it's decorated, the overall traditional feel of the house while the two are staying there looking for her missing brother and the straightforward setup here all make this one a rather familiar tone than what would be expected from a vampire film from this era. There's quite an eerie feel from the large wooden layout and the multiple floors of the house, the long winding basement path and secret passages that are all part of the experience when it comes to these types of Gothic efforts, enabling for some rather eerie scenes where the couple is investigating the source of chilling wails coming from deep inside the house or witnessing ghostly figures emerging out of the shadows before being scared away by the light shining in their face. These here are in place to hold the film up for it's more action-packed moments, such as a great brawl in the woods where after digging up the corpse they end up fighting off the henchmen as well as the big confrontation in the house where they finally come face-to-face with the vampires inside the house and leads into the rather shocking manner of disposal here that gives this a rather fun finale. Given that this uses some rather chilling and creepy looks to the main leads gives this a rather nice edge here while giving this another big plus alongside the nicely effective bloodletting when it occurs, these here give this one enough to like to be able to hold itself up over it's few minor flaws. One of the main issues here is the pacing issues on display, as this one is rather dull in spots during its middle section. Since the middle of the film is about the investigation into what happened, it's mostly about the two of them going around the house being scared of everything or in the village nearby looking for answers to the mystery it does slow down a touch here which does counteract some of the vampire action. As well, there's also the rather strange manner in which this one deals with the vampirism as the focus on more western mythology doesn't translate as well into Eastern folklore so it not only has rather strange means of being inducted into the concept of a vampire but how it's actually dealt with is slightly strange and doesn't make much sense. Nonetheless, there's still a lot to enjoy here.Rated Unrated/R: Violence.

Alex da Silva This film starts well and the cast are all good apart from the token lunk that every vampire film seems to have. Atsuo Nakamura (Mr Sagawa) visits his girlfriend Yukiko Kobayashi (Yuko) in a remote house that she lives in with her mother Yôko Minakaze (Mrs Nonomura) and the previously mentioned lunk Kaku Takashina (Genzo). One problem, though, the girlfriend is now dead. Or is she? After 8 days, Atsuo's sister Kayo Matsuo (Keiko) goes to look for her brother who has now disappeared. She goes with her partner Akira Nakao to the house to find some answers.The story seems refreshing at first with some moments that make you jump, an excellent campy soundtrack and a very effective Yukiko in the lead spooky role. She's scary. Unfortunately, we needed more of her, and by the end of the film, things wrap up rather speedily with an explanation and some gore thrown in. Old ground, I'm afraid, although we do get a different version of vampirism than we are accustomed to. It's OK to watch but only on occasion as, annoyingly, a lot of the nighttime scenes just morph into a black screen. What's the point of that? We can't see anything!! The doll element could have been worked on to provide more intense scares and paranormal theories. I don't mean blow-up dolls – there aren't any of those kind in this film, neither are there any of those weird people who like dressing themselves up as dolls. I watched a documentary about them and that was way more frightening than this film.

Uriah43 This movie begins with a man named "Kazuhiko Sagawa" (Atsuo Nakamura) taking a taxi from Tokyo to a remote area of the country to see his fiancé "Yuko Nonomura" (Yukiko Kobayashi) who he hasn't seen in 6 months. When he finally gets to her house he meets Yuko's mother "Shidu Nonomura" (Yôko Minakaze) who sadly informs him that Yuko died in a car wreck 2 weeks ago. Stricken with grief and unable to get transportation back home he is invited to spend a few days at the house. That night he sees Yuko. Eight days later his sister "Keiko Sagawa" (Kayo Matsuo) gets concerned because he hasn't called her or returned to Tokyo. So she asks her fiancé "Hiroshi Takagi" (Akira Nakao) to drive her to Yuko's house to see what is going on. Now rather than reveal any more of the story I will just say that, having already seen the other two movies in the "Bloodthirsty Trilogy", I was a bit disappointed. Part of the reason for my disappointment was the fact that this film didn't have the same Gothic foundation as the other two and I felt that this deviation wasn't for the better. To be more specific I was expecting a "classic" vampire picture but got what appeared to be an "old style" zombie movie instead. At least, that's how it seemed to me. Having said that I realize that vampires are portrayed differently in various cultures but even so the other two movies in the series—even if they had no thematic relationship with one another—were more similar to a "Hammer" movie than this particular film. In any case, whether a ghost, zombie or vampire movie it seemed both out-of-place and rather lackluster and because of that I rate it as slightly below average.

christopher-underwood Very well shot and creepy tale that seems to be somewhat unoriginal at first, albeit, still able to induce a few jumps by me, which is a bit unusual. Gradually, though, this becomes less familiar and whilst occasionally verging on the silly, still enough solid horror element to hold one pretty spellbound in its grip. The most unusual and intermittent soundtrack helped keep up the unease and indeed, ramp up the scares. The final denouement almost degenerates into farce but once again the direction is so sharp that we are still persuaded. Good performances all round and a particularly energetic one by the guy playing the mute servant. Lovely old western style house too, which, I assume is why we had none of the usual shoe removing. Effects were simple yet effective and the dead girl always very good indeed. Well worth catching and I must watch out for the other two in the series.
