View MoreSubspecies 4: Bloodstorm starts as Romanian doctor Ana Lazar (Ioana Abur) notices a crashed car as she drives along in the countryside, she stops to assist & finds three dead bodies & a body-bag containing Michelle Morgan (Denice Duff) who reacts violently to the sunlight. Fearing Michelle may need urgent treat meant Ana drives her to a nearby clinic to seek help from Dr. Niculescu (Mihai Dinvale) who instantly recognises the symptoms of Vampirism. Meanwhile evil centuries old Vampire Radu Vladislas (Anders Hove) wasn't as dead as Michelle had hoped & seeks sanctuary in the graveyard hiding place of fellow Vampire Ash (Jonathon Morris) as he sets out to (yet again) capture Michelle who is receiving treatment from Niculescu to try to cure her of Vampirism...Also known as Subspecies: The Awakening this Ramanian American co-production was written & directed by Ted Nicolaou who ended up directing all the Subspecies films for Charles Band's Full Moon Entertainment & they are some of that companies better looking films with a strong continuity running through them although I must say I am not a particularly big fan of them having watched all four of them (& the spin-off film Vampire Journals (1997)) quite recently. The first two Subspecies films were alright but Bloodlust: Subspecies III (1994) & this instalment are pretty average Vampire films to be honest, Radu again spends the entire film pining after Michelle who tries to get medical help for her Vampirism & the film doesn't do or feel anything different than it's predecessors. The heroes of the last film Mel & Rebecca don't even get death scenes here & we are merely informed that they are dead while the Vampire Ash from Vampire Journals turns up here in a small role. The pace is lethargic, to understand & follow Subspecies 4: Bloodstorm you will need to have seen at least a couple of the other Subspecies films & I must admit that it bored me. More of the same really which wasn't even that good to start with, hopefully Radu will stay dead this time.Like the story the visuals are very familiar with the same Romanin castles & graveyards used as in the previous Subspecies films, although the Subspecies films look better than the usual Full Moon product the style & look is getting dull now. Gore wise things aren't much better with a couple of decapitated heads & some fairly standard Vampire neck biting & blood drinking antics. The first Subspecies film not to feature any of those little stop-motion animated monsters. The films is fairly moodily lit & nicely shot but the story is rather dull & not enough happens.Filmed on location in Bucharest in Romania this has reasonable production values but little else to talk about. Anders Hove reprises his role as Radu for the fourth time, Denice Duff plays Michelle for the third while minor character Marin also makes a come back & gets to eat a rat.Subspecies 4: Bloodstorm is a fairly average end to a fairly average series of Vampire films that only have some nice locations going for it, after watching four films with these character's I should want to know what happens to them now but quite frankly I don't. For die hard Subspecies fans only.
... View MoreI don't know, it just seemed like it was a silly voice for me, like Radu watched way too many of the Godfather films, you know? Well, Subspecies, the series I haven't seen. I was never aware of the series, but this was the only film at the time that I found at my rental store, and I was looking for a good monster flick. I also like vampire movies, so I figured I would take a look at Subspecies 4: Bloodstorm. The cover was very promising and the story I will admit was pretty horrific and original. Although I'm a bit disappointed and not sure that I will see the rest of the series, I'm glad that at least I was able to catch on pretty quickly.Radu was apparently killed in the third installment of the Subspecies series, but he is quickly brought back to life by the help of his blood stone. He goes back to his "friend's" chamber and requires his resting place and plays with his friend's protégé, Serena. Serena is plotting to get rid of Radu though and take the blood stone. In the mean time, Michelle's friends have crashed trying to escape Radu's castle, but it's too late, Michelle is turning into a vampire. But a nurse who finds her body takes her to the hospital where she is assisted by a half vampire, Dr. Niculescu. But Radu wants her and wishes to restore his birth rite.Subspecies 4: Bloodstorm is a bit ridicules in my book, while it's a cool vampire movie, I would say that the movie itself was pretty bad. But it's one of those films that it's so bad that it's good, I'm not even sure how to rate this one. I hope that I do get ahold of the series, I'm somewhat interested in seeing it, just because I think I might have enjoyed this film more if I knew the entire story behind it. But it was a fun little horror flick to watch in the mean time, just Radu needs to calm down on the voice a bit.4/10
... View MoreNot the expected if you have watched the original. Part 4 has very poor effects & poor act.****Look to cutting off Radu's head scene it's the "VAMPIRE JOURNALS" scene it was at the begin of the movie !!!!!!****
... View MoreI will admit that I am a fan of the Subspecies Series to start with. The enjoyable movie was greatly added to with the Commentary tracks on the DVD. The director, Ted Nicolaou, was surprisingly candid about the problems with the Site, budget, and some actors. Denise Duff's commentary was funny and at times a bit sarcastic. This movie looks much better than the other movies, I don't know if it was the production or because I was viewing it from a DVD. LOTS of blood and twisted humor.
