The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

I bought this film not too long ago. I thought yeah! It's gonna be a good movie. Low budget horrorfest? Yeah, right! It turns out to be a load of crap! A bunch of actors which I've never even heard of, stars in this low budget pappy show of a gorefest!What was also so bad was the script. Who on earth wrote that garbage? I felt as if the characters, talking to each other are like a bunch of 10 year olds. It was so sloppy..The only good thing about this movie that all three women in this flick bared all. That's the only good thing about them. The men however, are like a couple of sad muppets! The whole thing about the two didn't really add up.And Uncle Marty? What was that guy all about? OK, he maybe a vampire of some kind. But I had to laugh when he was doing this 'jig' whilst some crappy organ music was going off in the background. I thought 'Yeah! This movie is really gonna suck!'Anyway, at the end I felt.. 'OK! These people may've done a horror flick, but it wasn't in my expectation to this bad!' So I sold the DVD on Ebay. Some bugger bought me it off for a few quid.Thumbs down for this one! It's not worth the paper it's printed on.. 0 out of 10!

Despite the wonderful looking petite Lisa the whole coherence of this movie fell apart so badly that by the third quarter all that held my attention was the uncanny similarity of Uncle Marty's voice with that of the character Dr. Wallace Breen in the Half-Life 2 computer game. It's almost like Martin Shannon and Robert Culp share the same larynx! As for this movie... ummm... I nearly forgot it already. Did anyone else notice the likeness?Okay, it's an amusing movie although I'd like to have seen the actors having more fun with their roles - there isn't a plot to speak of, just a series of vampirish clichés punctuating the numerous occasions the actresses get their kit off - plenty of silicone on display, fake blood and the occasional half decent cgi transformation. Rent it if you have to but don't buy it!

I don't know what you're drinking in Scotland, Jamie, but this movie is brilliant! It's one of the best produced low budget movies I've ever seen.The visual effects, steady camera work, and great use of shadows was clearly well thought out, unlike most movies in this genre/budget range. Most of the crap out there is just that- crap. Someone holding a camera- hand-held and then they call it a movie. Not this... again well thought out, clearly these guys new what they were doing.The love scene was very erotic, yet tasteful. Vampires by their very nature are erotic.I don't care that the story is old. What vampire movie isn't???!!! Hello?! Let's see... you got a vampire, they suck blood. Duh. So never is a vampire movie about the story in the year 2005. It's what you do with it- visually. And this movie was great visually.Why isn't anyone mentioning how awesome the score and soundtrack are? These are just 2 additional benefits for this movie.I'm glad I found this movie too. Check it out. Trust me.

As a filmmaker myself, I am always happy when another indy film gets distribution. Shower of Blood has that going and that is a feat in itself. It is very difficult to get low budget indys distributed without some 'A' list actors. So immediately you have to admit, the film must be somewhat well done. Watching it, I agree.The first thing to capture my attention was the safe, but clearly, classical camera movement. Seems they knew what they were doing, and they didn't break any rules that I saw. That's a great testament to independent filmmakers. So many non filmmakers pick up a camera and call action, without even having the first clue as to how difficult it is to make a full length feature. These guys and girls obviously did there homework.
The visual effects were simply, 'Hollywood'. Top end. The score, was, in a word, Wow! Soundtrack, diverse. Hope there's a soundtrack??? The acting left something to be desired, but hey, they probably were more models than actors, because they were physically very beautiful people. Lighting scheme was cleary thought out, and some of the exterior night stuff was very cool.Onto the story (Promise I won't give it away)... It's always fun to see hot (dumb) characters going into places they shouldn't. Ha ha Deservingly, some wild antics ensue (some you gotta see to believe). Beer, babes, and blood! haha Though one characters through line is not clearly defined, I see the attempt was made and it's not enough for me to give a bad review. Yes, this story has been done before (DON'T GO IN THERE ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE!), but it has cool enough visuals, and a couple new twists that make it worthy of a viewing. It's a fun one to pop in the ole' DVD player on a weekend.
