Review of Blood Ranch (2006) by Rachel T — 17 Aug 2006

[font='Times New Roman'][size=4]As far as pure gore scenes this movie does it well. The gore effects are nicely pulled off and taken as individual scenes, they can be disturbing. Unfortunately the scenes shouldn?t be taken by themselves to make a good film, they should mesh together.

They don?t. The movie gives us no logical plot line to follow. It?s not enough to put a bunch of wacked out psychos in the middle of a desert ranch and throw victims at them. There needs to be some background and some kind of character formation.

Why should I care about the victims? Why are these nuts out there in the desert waiting for victims to show up? This movie was an obvious try at [i]Devil?s Rejects[/i] meets [i]The Hills Have Eyes[/i].

At least both those films gave us some background on the psycho killers and some connection with the victims. This one didn?t give us anything. They introduced characters with pretty much no meaningful backgrounds to crazy murderers that have no real purpose or logical reason for being where they are and doing what they do and let the gore fly.
