Just so...so bad

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Billy Ollie
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

First, there is the word Beli-al, the name of a demon. The word is transformed into the Necronomicon, a powerful book of spells, but then it disappeared. Mr. Jones (Lorenzo Lamas) is a powerful vampire with his minion Rennie. He keeps six beautiful women prisoners as thralls or semi-vampires. Roxie, Leslie, Lean, Brigitte and Buzz manage to escape. Leslie's sister Ashley arrives in the big city. The girls are running a hot local club. It's the winter solstice. Jim falls for Ashley. His cousin is an idiot. Ashley realizes that some of the girls are vampires.The dialog is god-awful. The acting is even worst. Lorenzo Lamas may be the best actor in the lot which says everything. Beautiful women kicking butt can go a little way but it doesn't alleviate the movie's many problems. Lamas is the big bad but he doesn't have enough screen time. The story is more complicated than it needs to be. The exposition comes too late. It is a mess and not scary as a vampire horror.

Looking at the cover I completely expected to see Julie Strain in the credits. I expected this to be another low-budget, sexploitation film casted by some guy asking a couple strippers if they wanted to be in a movie... I couldn't have been more wrong.The movie opens as I would have expected: a half dozen very attractive women in lingerie chained by the ankle. As soon as Lorenzo (Renegade) Lamas enters the movie, everything changes.The majority of the movie takes place in a nightclub holding a Halloween rave. It made me think more of the club in Hellraiser III as opposed to the Blood Raves in Blade.The special effects were rather weak but the plot was actually well developed and creative with a new addition to the world of vampires in film, "Thralls".Several of the beautiful women in the film (and Lamas) have some respectable acting credits to their names and it shows. While this will certainly not get a nod from AMPAS, for the genre the acting was really good.Fans of vampire movies (especially ones who enjoy the beautiful, female vampire twist but are tired of really bad movies) will certainly enjoy this movie. If that sounds like you it's definitely worth a rental.Note: there is only one scene in the movie with frontal female nudity, it's very brief and does not end in a good way (no spoilers here).

If you really like the dark side to real young chicks, who have very strange spiritual abilities to suck blood from all different parts of the body, this is the film to watch and enjoy. Lorenzo Lamas,(Mr. Jones),"The Nowhere Man",'05, is a sort of pimp of a Vampire and has strange powers over some very hot hot females. Siri Baruc,(Ashley),"Glass Trap",'05, tries to locate her sister in the big city and gets deeply involved with this wild and exciting night spot where her sister works and is controlled by a Cult. Leah Cairns,(Leslie) gives a great supporting role through out the picture. This is certainly a different type of vampire film and the sexy gals make it a lot more interesting than the Classic Bela Lugosi film !

Ashley meets her sister in the dead of night at the bus depot. Right away she is almost attacked by a group of hoodlums that sis is able to dispatch without as much as a drop of sweat. Ashley is escaping her traumatic past to live with her sister who happens to run a rave with a bunch of her bodacious lady friends. These girls have got it all
.brains, looks, a killer job and oh did I mention they were vampires? Well not exactly vampires but 'thralls' half human, half vampire and the whole lot of them are hiding from their ex-master. Mr. Jones (Lorenzo Lamas) will stop at nothing to get his girls back or is he up to something more sinister? Well I had passed this one by once or twice but I'm glad I reconsidered. "Blood Angels' (aka Thralls) on the surface does appear to be yet another batch of the same old thing. But the film is surprisingly fun and has energy. The director did a good job with what he had. The action scenes pop pretty well and the lovely ladies chew up the screen. True the script is clichéd and the one-liners are real groaners at times, not to mention the digital effects sometimes are a bit weak. But I had fun in the end and with a film like 'Blood Angels' that's all one can hope for.
