Sorensson is a God!!!

Warning: Spoilers
I happened to find this film in a double DVD pack in the bargain bin at blockbuster. 1.99 for two such spectacular sounding films!! How could anyone resist? Surely a film with a blurb that involves not only aliens but vampires as well (hence the witty title) couldn't possibly be bad? After watching the truly FANTASTIC cinematic work that is Alien Blood, I must confess I have somewhat questioned the logic of my decision. The film has, as I can see, nothing even remotely resembling a plot. The story, so far as I can tell, is about some ugly women and a spooky kid who are being chased, as the blurb says, by 'a group of killers'. Possibly some sort of bizarre 'killers day out', I don't know, this is never explained.

The incredibly limited dialogue that does appear in the film (it can't be more than about 10 lines) is delivered in such a wonderfully badly acted way that it makes one want to chew off their own fist in sheer embarrassment. The cast mostly consists of blokes dressed all in black with, for some strange reason, what appears to be bandages wrapped around their heads. I think this is more than likely to disguise the fact that they are in fact all the same person as they can't actually afford more than three actors on screen at anyone time.

The rest of the cast are the ugliest bunch of people you could ever hope to see and have between them the acting abilities of a damp dish cloth. The best of all being 'Dracula', who in this film appears as a Cumbrian known as 'James', during the limited time he is in this film before being shot by a (clearly not) French alien he seems to be drunk off his face. I can't help but wonder if he even knew he was in this film!!

I can imagine that Sorresson woke up the day after making this film, with a bad head ache and a few empty bottles of whiskey, seeing the video tape and going 'God no!! I've done it again!' Despite being without a doubt the worse film ever made, this is truly hilarious and I would recommend it to anyone!
