A different way of telling a story

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

This is a vampire movie I think. They flash fangs but they don't seem to be any stronger, faster or smarter than brain dead drug addicts. Additionally, the vampire troop all look like they are Alice Cooper fans, makeup and all.The protagonist beats the vamps up at will and rest seem to fall off motorcycles and die.The acting is terrible, they must have shot everything in one take. The film looks like it was transferred off a VHS tape. Seriously, the entire movie is two or three shades too dark and the scene edits look like they were done with a razor blade and scotch tape. I saw the movie on DirecTV in 1920x1080P resolution which magnified the terrible quality.Story? What story? Several hundred dumb teenagers are invited to a exclusive club to become cattle for the vamps. Only 4 are saved by the protagonist. Great score hero.1.5 stars at best.

In his jet black Shelby Super Snake, vampire slayer Shawn Black (Michael Matthias) takes to the road in search of a group of bloodsuckers led by his brother Cain (Vinnie Jones). On the way, he meets a couple of shallow clubber babes (who we are presumably supposed to care about because they have great tits), before teaming up with unlikely preacher Father Roy (Michael Madsen) to storm the vampires' headquarters—the very same nightclub at which the aforementioned big breasted hotties are now partying.Just because someone has spent decades behind the scenes blowing stuff up, crashing cars, and staging fights, it does not automatically mean that they have what it takes to direct a whole film (even if that film is to be filled with action). Case in point: Charlie Picerni, whose vampiric romp The Bleeding is suitably explosive at times (the Road Warrior-inspired chase scene at the finalé is reasonably impressive), but lacking in virtually every other department.Picerni's ham fisted direction results in a chaotic, plot less, and joyless mish-mash of half-baked ideas and hackneyed action movie clichés that irritate far more than they entertain—but Picerni shouldn't take all the blame: Lance Lane's awful 'script' must have taken all of a lazy Sunday afternoon down the pub to throw together; Vin Diesel wannabe Matthias displays all the charisma of a sponge; Michael Madsen simply goes through the motions; DMX is DMX ('nuff said); Vinnie Jones delivers his cornball dialogue in a manner that, if there was any justice, would kill his acting career dead on the spot; and whoever did the editing clearly hadn't been taking their Ritalin.

Don't ask me to explain why I actually sat through this whole thing. Maybe it was curiosity after reading the other reviews. Could one film be THAT bad?? Unfortunately, the answer is a resounding yes. Sitting in a corner pondering your navel is time better spent.Seriously, the other reviewers are not underestimating this movie. There is not one single teeny tiny thing that redeems this movie in any way whatsoever.The acting and casting are just as bad as mentioned by other reviewers. But worst of all to me was the writing.I can say without a doubt that my miniature donkey could've written a better script. A MUCH better script. By hand! It would be laughable if it weren't so pathetically sad that there are good scripts that can't get made, and yet this script, that isn't worth using as toilet paper, actually made it to film.Nope. Not a single redeeming quality in this film. There's not even any mildly entertaining nudity or killings.Never, ever, ever, in my 40 plus years of watching movies as an avid fan, have I ever seen such worthless tripe.Please do the world a favor and burn every single master copy.

This film was a new and interesting experience for me. I've never before in 33 years of living had the overwhelming urge to rip my eyes out of their sockets while microwaving my head until now, thanks for that. I've tried and tried to think of one positive aspect about this film and the only thing that I keep coming back to is... it ended. The acting was god awful, the plot was gibberish and the effects look like a two year old had been put in charge. Some of the actors in this have been in many good films but I have no idea what they were thinking getting involved with this one. Madsen, Jones and Assante have all had some great roles but every time Vinnie made an appearance in this one I just wanted to laugh. About as scary and intimidating as a bit of tissue stuck to your shoe. Avoid this film as if it was made from anthrax clothed in a 3-piece suit of the plague, on fire, carrying a machine gun that shot bullets made from herpes.
