Review of Brotherhood of Blood (2007) by Carl N — 23 Jan 2009

This isnt your usual vampire flick, nor is it a pure horror film. What you get is a very clever thriller thats filled with suspense. Its not a film that is dependent on huge spectacular special effects because the dialog and the story line in itself hold there own.

The time line of the film is played out very akin to a Tarantino plot. There are frequent hints as to what is really going on and the final climatic twist is really a good one. The acting is first-class, Ken Foree giving the best performance as a captured and tortured vampire is scary and humorous at the same time.

My only grievance is that I felt that Sid Haig was very much underused.
