Plot:
The 1970's are back in this hip hop and hapennin' of retro tale of drugs, vampires and exorcisms.
Girls are invited to a crappy mansion in Florida only to become blood-sucker bait for a centuries old demon who wants to be your daddy !

I got this one by error, because I've made a title error after I've seen the trailer for a movie that was looking interesting. Finally I got the good one (The Blood Spattered Bride), but not before another title error order (Blood Castle) it's something frequent with European movie since they are known under many different titles. I've keep the DVD, because it was my error and maybe the movie will be interesting.

The story looks promising : a vampire curse runs in a familly and for defeating it a girl must be made pregnant by the the older vampire son. When the child is born the curse is defeat. This is not really original, but it's enough to make something not so bad. The end result is not good at all, the problem start with the cast : everyone is untalented (nobody have done anything before or after that), they miss their line and most of the time doesn't know how to react. The story is confusing, they mix too many thing (vampires, an hunchback (that or a drunk guy, this is not really evident by the way he act), an hairy beast (why they had it in the basement is unclear), a medium woman (the majority of what she said make no sense),...

Don't waste your time with that. Even the vampire look is ridicule (just look at the screen capture that I've attach to my post)

Up, a review by Dragonfire

Up



From the revolutionary minds of Pixar Animation Studios and the acclaimed director of Monsters, Inc. comes a hilariously uplifting adventure where the sky is no longer the limit. Carl Fredricksen, a retired balloon salesman, is part rascal, part dreamer who is ready for his last chance at high-flying excitement. Tying thousands of balloons to his house, Carl sets off to the lost world of his childhood dreams. Unbeknownst to Carl, Russell, an overeager 8-year-odl Wilderness Explorer who has never ventured beyond his backyard, is in the wrong place at the wrong time - Carl's front porch! The world's most unlikely duo reach new heights and meet fantastic friends like Dug, a dog with a special collar that allows him to speak, and Kevin, the rare 13-foot tall flightless bird. Stuck together in the wilds of the jungle, Carl realizes that sometimes life's biggest adventures aren't the ones you set out looking for.

My Thoughts

I think I shared the Epinions link when I talked about the movie originally, but here it is again in case I forgot.
