Blood Suckers from Outer Space

Hilarious "so-bad-it's-brilliant" amateur 80's horror with a stupendously outrageous storyline, delightfully atrocious acting performances, totally retarded dialogs ("I'm not going anywhere. Does that mean you're going nowhere?" or "This is the greatest medical discovery since cancer") and masterful tacky effects. But the absolute greatest aspect about "Blood Suckers from Outer Space" is undoubtedly the gigantic amount of nonsensical "WTF"-moments in the script. There's a young couple inhaling gas in a car, a completely random screaming interlude, a rough sex sequence filmed from outside the house, crazy bearded janitors spotting "weirdoes" everywhere and that sort of things! There's this wind – yes, WIND – that turns people into bloodsucking zombies. Absolutely nothing indicates that this wind comes from outer space (is that even possible?) but it does sound catchy as a horror title, doesn't it? The setting is this small Texan town where the people couldn't be more redneck-like even if they tried. Even when these farmers are turned into zombies, they still talk and behave like inbred hillbillies. Understandably, the debut feature of Glen Coburn (who?) is quite uneven and silly. "Bloodsuckers …" is sometimes intended as a parody and sometimes seemingly trying to be an ambitious B-movie. The intentional bits of comedy are often painfully embarrassing, but the clumsy execution of the film is genuinely entertaining. This is a totally incoherent product of the cheesy 80's, with demented situations and messed up characters, that actually belongs more in the category of rancid 70's exploitation. Probably best watched with a couple of friends whilst intoxicated and make sure to always keep one finger on the rewind button in order to re-watch all the crazy little details.

I think there's one thing that a guy who reviewed this before me didn't realize -- this wasn't supposed to be a serious film. At least, I hope it wasn't supposed to be a serious film...

I'm sorry if I'm evil for saying this, but I *LOVED* this movie. There were so many bad things about it: the actors were horrid, a lot of things didn't make any sense (like how nitrous oxide did *NOTHING* to the main character), the music itself and the fact that none of the four cameras actually moved come to mind. And yes, I believe it was intentionally supposed to be humorous. But still, it's a zombie movie, and you can't expect zombie movies to be serious masterpieces.

If you're one of those people who enjoys quoting bad films, seeing obviously fake blood and/or gore or you just have a 'different' sense of humour, pick up 'Blood Suckers from Outer Space' if you can find it -- you'll probably enjoy it. But if you are a straight on serious zombie freak, pass it over -- you'll hate it.

The question you have to ask yourself is this: how much slack are you willing to cut this? You have to be aware that this is like an amateur hour kind of thing. I don't mean this necessarily in a bad way. We all have different tastes, some like big budget extravaganzas, others like movies that seem to have been made by a couple of friends.

Having said that, you can tell by the humor not much time went into the script. Maybe even every other idea that sounded good to whoever was responsible for it got thrown it - maybe some of the so called actors contributed. Again, all a matter of taste. No pun intended - though I will assume you are not into human flesh.

Jokes aside, the movie knows what it is and everyone involved probably had a hoot and a blast making it. Doesn't mean you will have too ... but you might.

"Bloodsuckers from Outer Space" pretty much...SUCKED!! It was one of the worst movies ever. I think the worst part was the acting. That pretty much killed it all. The two "heroes"--a failing photographer and girl he meets somehow--are the least likable characters ever. And I always wished they would just die. But there was barely any action anyhow! Just a bunch of mindless drool. I'll admit it, I was only watching this with half my attention span. But believe me, you didn't need much to understand how bad this movie was!

The dialogue was some of the funniest. The photographer telling his human-turned-bloodsucker friend, "You're not getting any blood out of us." Or, when the two start physically fighting, when the girl turns and looks at the camera and says, "I can't take another kung-fu scene!" Then she runs downstairs and hits the friend's girlfriend. Also, when the two find that the guy's aunt and uncle are bloodsuckers, the aunt tells the girl, "I've got a recipe for spaghetti you'll just love." The way she says it had me laughing hysterically!

Also note--there were no deaths except for those who were turned into the creatures. Maybe a few army guys died, that's about it. And also, there is no specified reason why and how this all happened. But the way the guy's friends are turned into bloodsuckers is so funny. They're in the shower, and the curtain is somewhat see-through. They start screaming, and you see them literally throwing blood against the curtain from the bottom of the shower. To make it look like they're getting killed. It is so horrible!!

I don't think there really was a climax. I think the movie just sort of ended on an odd note. Like, everything was okay...or maybe not. One of those crappy endings. Please, avoid this movie AT ALL COSTS!! It is one the worst movies ever made! But if you need to see how bad it is, I say, rent it if you find it. You can laugh at the terrible acting.

From the blood-spewing opening, to the incredible theme song, to..., well, everything else, BLOOD SUCKERS FROM OUTER SPACE is an ultra-low-budget spectacular!

Jeff Rhodes (Thom Meyers) is a small town reporter investigating a series of strange deaths. He soon becomes entangled in a zombie onslaught, brought on by extraterrestrial means. When a group of idiot scientist and the military get involved, things go from bad to worse.

If you enjoy movies made entirely of cheeeze byproducts, you'll be in ecstasy! BSFOS makes the best of its nonexistent budget. It features: Sinfully bad "acting", ludicrous dialogue, and the world's most insane, house-destroying love scene!

PLUS: The beautiful, banjo-enhanced fight to the death sequence!

AND: Nothing can possibly prepare you for the headless farmer dance routine! Nothing!

Gorehounds are guaranteed a gloriously gushy good time!

Give this juicy gem a try, and fun will surely follow!...
