BLOODLINES is not the worst straight-to-DVD film I've seen. In some ways, it is pretty decent. However, I will have to say that the bad out weights the good in this case.
Essentially, the film is in the genre of the evil rednecks, y'know, films like WRONG TURN and HOUSE OF 1,000 CORPSES. It deals with a young woman who, while on a cross-country trip to college, is captured by a clan of rednecks. Later, she is submitted in a Mortal Kombat-style tournament(complete with the main bad guy sitting on a recliner Shao Khan-style) where she has to fight to survive, having to kill her opponent. If she wins...she becomes the next woman the bad guy will breed with.
Now you ask yourself...that sounds like just the perfect B-movie concept, right? To bad its muted. In fact, and this is basically more of a personal preference...the girls in the story were not dressed sexy in the least. Seriously, the sexiness of these ladies was not exploited; the main girl probably wore a halter top, but the rest of her was G.I. Joe, with unsexy pants and construction boots.
And the awesome tournament angle/breeding plot? More like an afterthought than something that could have been expanded on. We get more scenes of the main girl's adopted dad and brother fighting the rednecks then any awesome scenes that could have did justice to this movie.
