The Worst Film Ever
... View MorePlease don't spend money on this.
... View MoreThe movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
... View MoreThis movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
... View MoreWow, where do start with this pile of shiz..1. Who the hell plays on a PS1 in 2008?!2. Tony Todd has officially extinguished all the goodwill he mustered by playing the Candyman and Captain Sisco's dad. He isn't so much slumming it here as eating fish bones from the dumpster.3. This well oiled six-pack hunk in the lead might be able to fill out a white T-shirt, but an actor he ain't. Evertime he opens his mouth, you want to curl up in embarrassment. Oh. dear.4. Who writes this dialogue anyway? Someone call child labour on these producers: I think they're illegally employing a bunch of kindergärtners to do their screenplay for them.5. Where's the 'sexy seductress' promised in the plot synopsis? You don't mean the ugly old tart wrapped in cling-film, with more botox than Jane Fonda do you? Whoops.6. The fight scenes are ssoooo pathetic, they should play an instrumental of Kung Fu Fighting in the background, and pretend it's supposed to be a comedy.7. There is a highly camp black best friend who calls everyone dawgs and has a secret funky handshake with Mr Muscle. He might as well have STEREOTYPE tattooed on his head. But get this.. HE DOESN'T DIE. AMAZING.8. Tru Blood, Twilight, Vampire Chronicles.. ENOUGH ALREADY. Especially when the end result is as dismal as it is here.9. The Thirst: Blood War? That title.. SUCKS (Pun intended ho ho)10.Seriously guys.. what's the deal with the PS1?!The director is called Tom Shell, which is quite apt as you'll feel like a shell of a person after submitting yourself to this drivel. It also concludes with the threat of a sequel, to which I can only respond with the Wilheim Scream our hunk unleashes just before the end.It's probably started filming even now, after all it shouldn't take Mr Shell too long to muster up the 7 new pence and half a packet of wine necessary to complete production. And that would still be more than they spent on the original.. 2/10
... View MoreThis film cost about ninepence, which is abundantly clear from what you see on screen. Make no mistake - you're not going to get production values.But you are going to get something which, from time to time, delivers a surprise and at least tries to be a bit different. The acting isn't great and the effects aren't very special, but it makes more of an effort than other films which do things strictly according to formula.It suffers from starting off as a comedy and finishing seriously - an internal inconsistency which it never really recovers from.But it's not fair to criticise it solely for being cheap tat - it can't help that, and it does at least try to be a bit more than that.
... View More"The Thirst: Blood Wars" is among the worst vampire films of the genre.**SPOILERS**Attempting to get through High School, Will Hawkins, (A.J. Draven) and his friends Jayne, (Allison Lange) Rico, (Owiso Odera) and Ashley, (Rini Bell) are constantly in fear of school bully Darren, (Cameron Zeidler) who has a grudge against the two of them. When they form a relationship, he goes even more insane to go after them, but soon after attacking them, he manages to fail, allowing Julien, (Tony Todd) to become aware of the situation. As he struggles to understand what has happened, it soon dawns on him that a coven of vampires are coming after him, believing that he holds the key to helping them fulfill an ancient prophecy that will allow them all unprecedented power, and the group races to stop their devious plans before they can complete them.The Good News: This one had hardly anything worthwhile about it. One of the few good spots to it is that there's a couple of rather well-done if altogether brief martial arts fights between the vampire sides in here. The one-on-one to start it off is the longest of the bunch and is certainly a bit above-average for this sort of sequence and the lightning-fast moves are definitely enjoyable. The second one, a multi-man fight ruined by the darkened lighting, still comes off as the best of them due to the high-energy nature of it and the use of incorporating the surroundings into it rather well. The last fight, while the weakest of the trio, does have some rather nice moments and a couple good counters to make last longer than expected, though it's not as memorable as the other two. The only other part to this one that works well is the fact that this one has a well-built middle section that makes the slow transformation into the vampire somewhat intriguing, even though the only action during that scene really consists of him acting crazy during a sex scene and how he slowly grows afraid of the light. It's not bad and definitely deserves props. Otherwise, this one just doesn't do much.The Bad News: frankly, this one just had way too many problems to really make it worthwhile. One of the biggest problems is the fact that there's just way too many things to keep track of during the course of the film. Firstly starting out as a story about the group of friends being tormented by a bully that may or may not have supernatural explanations for his powers is all well and good, if incredibly dull, then it turns into a group of vampire hunters tracking down the group, then into the focus of the group to transform the one member of the high-school group and finally it manages to merge those with another few subplots about the two friends' growing friendship with another's desire to join the vampire coven and finally getting all of these together. Most of these are purely uninteresting due to boredom running rampant through just about all of them, it has way too much time devoted to them as well, and in the end, it causes the effect of the just not featuring enough action to make up for the plot and give a reason why it's forcing us to sit through all this stuff, and in the end it's just too confusing to really matter much. The dullness is also another factor caused by another big flaw in this one, where the film just doesn't utilize its action scenes with enough stuff to make them exciting, as they're all too short to really let the viewer get into them and not enough time is used on them. The attack in the woods before the hunters find them is a prime example, as from the start of the scene when the vampires find their victim to when the hunters have arrived and vanquished them from the spot, the whole scene is almost two minutes, and it really could've done so much more to really make this one more interesting and exciting. The lack of excitement also comes into play with the film's last big flaw, the fact that the violence and gore is mostly hidden away due to how dark and really hard it is to really see anything in here with any kind of clarity. This one really could've let us see what was going on quite easily, but due to other forces, this one just doesn't and it's hard to really care about this one due to all the problems with it. The fact that other minor flaws, including the fact that the vampires are clearly shown to be extremely loose with their own rules for dealing with them or that the hierarchy of their establishment aren't a factor yet are still viable flaws shows just how terrible this one is.The Final Verdict: An almost-complete failure as a vampire film, without a whole lot of good points that aren't that great to start and way too many flaws. Really hard to know who would enjoy this one as fans of the creative side will be put off, and with their being so many flaws this one just doesn't stand out.Rated R: Graphic Language, Violence, Nudity, an attempted Rape and a Sex Scene
... View MoreThis is the equivalent to Turkey a la King. You know, what your mother used to scrap together from Thanksgiving leftovers using gravy, the parts of the turkey no one wanted to eat and some rice. Well, enough about my childhood.Anyway, what you have here are some actors who used to be name actors doing throwaway scenes so the directors can put their names on the cover, making you think that this is a better film than it actually is, mixed in with the usual vampire movie clichés.What you have are some college kids who get mixed up in a fight between factions of vampires, and vampire hunters who have resisted the taste for blood, but are equally immortal. (No, I couldn't figure it out, either.) Lots of scenes with the head chick vampire trying to seduce the hero into the "dark side'.Oh, yeah, and then there was the sound. It didn't sync up with the action, it seemed to be off by about a half second, so you see people keep talking after their lips have stopped moving. More annoying where the cutaways from the sex scenes. "Hey, you aren't paying me enough to actually take my clothes off, buster. That'll cost you extra!" You can imagine the lead actress saying before she goes back to her day-job as a stripper.JoeB- watching bad movies so you don't have to.
