Blood Sisters (2003 Video) User Reviews

"Cheeseburger!"

[lost-in-limbo · 3/10 · 17 October 2008]

Throw in seedy nudity, throw in endless blood and that's all it has going for it. I guess non-stop parading isn't a bad thing. I guess. 'Blood Sisters' is a no-budget straight-to-video modern vampire effort that's lost within its repetitive actions, uninteresting story and bare looking production. The cheapness reeks off the screen. Limited sets, terribly cheesy background music and lousily crude effects. No you didn't hit the replay button, the director liked to show the neck feeding (that's all we get) in bloody glory over and over again for every possible victim. Before that occurred you might be lucky enough for one of the female vampires or victims to go about stripping and flaunting about… but directly to the camera. This could go for about a couple minutes and it pretty much opens up that way. The attacks are vicious, but are lifelessly staged.

The performances are implausibly low-end in quite a self-aware and exploitative style. The interactions between Erica Howards and Kerry Lui were rib-tickling. Deborah Huber leads the way as head vampire of a small sorority group. Who snarl a lot and bare their fangs at nearly opportunity. For a society trying to stay secret, they certainly bring a glaring amount of attention to themselves. What did catch my eye though was in one scene there has got to be one fashionable tie I've ever seen.

Tracy has just started at her new college, where she learns from her roommate that students have been disappearing. She then gains the attention of an exclusive sorority group when she starts poking her nose in their business.

It felt like it was trying to head back to those sensually erotic vampire flicks of the 70s, but with its lack of style and visual creativity it came off low-brow, mundane and lacking atmosphere. The pacing is really sluggish and confused script is awkwardly blunt. Some old vampire folklore (stake to heart) is mixed with new (vampire can't go in the sun after feeding).

Mainly unexciting, saved by a few pleasurable inclusions.

Cheap vampire sorority

[Dr. Gore · 20 May 2005]

*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*

I bought this video for three bucks. I pride myself on being the kind of person who would never pass up the chance to see a vampire sorority flick. "Blood Sisters" beckoned me. I also noticed that the funky eyed girl from "Hell's Highway" was in it. I liked her in that flick and wanted to see her vamp it up.

So there's a vampire sorority on campus. It's real exclusive. It only has three members. That was all the movie could afford. They like to bring fools home and suck their blood. The new girl on campus gets suspicious of them and decides to investigate. Together with her hot Asian roommate, they'll get to the bottom of all of these vampire shenanigans.

Well, this blood sucker is no good. "Blood Sisters" is just too cheap. Everything about it reminds you that this movie was made for next to nothing. The inside of their "sorority house" looked like some poverty stricken haunted house. They actually have cheap-o spider webs running all around their living room. The gore effects are boring and repetitive. There are a lot of punctured, bloody necks but that's it. The acting is mighty low. The best bad acting scene has the "nice" girl unpacking her luggage and then ending the scene with a "Whew!' while wiping her arm across her forehead. Let's just say it was the phoniest "Whew!" I've ever heard. Put it all together and it tells you that "Blood Sisters" can be avoided.

The only good scene was the one where the Blood Sisters kidnap a woman and make her strip for them. She had this great flower tattoo running all the way down her leg. She also had great breasts. I rewound that scene three times. At least I managed to get something good out of this nightmarish sorority.

Horrible, just plain horrible!

[bfan83 · 1/10 · 3 March 2004]

You know something? Brian Damage Films has put out a lot of good movies in the past. But lately I've noticed that they are just not cutting it anymore. And with this release, it just hammers the company further into the ground. This was even worse than the Witchcraft movies and that's pretty bad. The plot really didn't make a damn bit of sense, the sound was horrible. This movie was just plain bad. Although, Phoebe Dollar did a pretty good job and was the one who kept the movie alive. She just has that evil look that we all love. Another thing that irritated me about this video was the gore effects. They were unconvincing! Gosh, I can do better with the gore effects and I don't even have any money. Oh wait, they didn't either. I give this a 1. That's it. It sucked!

A nice B movie

[TdSmth5 · 8/10 · 12 January 2005]

I did enjoy this movie. It is a low budget vampire flick with a very attractive female cast doing a good job with the material, especially Kelly Marie. The effects are not all that bad and there is more of a story than in most "A" Hollywood movies. A sorority of hot mysterious girls may be involved in the disappearance of several people on campus. Meanwhile a pretty journalist major starts her first semester at campus. She is of course aggressive an interested in this mystery on campus. Will she be able to find out what is going on without getting into harms way? That's more or less the premise here. And the movie-makers do a good job at working the story out. There's some enjoyable and erotic nudity, too. It is true that the sound could be much better, but for a few bucks this movie is a good deal.

Disappointing and unspectacular

[slayrrr666 · 6/10 · 5 February 2008]

"Blood Sisters" is slightly below-watchable vampire affair mostly used for sleaze.

**SPOILERS**

Arriving at Dunwich University, new student Tracy, (Erica Howards) meets her new roommate Melissa, (Kerry Lui) and tries to understand why the campus is so devoid of students. Uttering a rumor that Rose, (Phoebe Dollar) Eliza, (Deborah Huber) and Brandi, (Ann Marie) a trio of sorority sisters, are the ones responsible for the disappearances. At first laughing off the rumor, they each decide to investigate them and each find out different elements that put them at the center of the mystery. When students come forward claiming that their stories are true, the club abducts her and tries to initiate her into their group. Forced to fight back, she resorts to her journalism instincts to put the matter to rest before more disappearances occur.

The Good News: This one here wasn't that bad one way or another. The fact that it's pretty bloody isn't that bad, and while a lot of the effects aren't that well done, the fact that they were at least graphic representations is something to behold. All of the neck biting in here results in massive pools of blood forming along the side, which accompanied by the fact that there's actually dug-out bite wounds makes them seem all the more graphic. Even the staking scenes provide some sort of blood around the wound. The mystery here is actually not that bad, as there's some rather creative clues used as well as old standbys to throw off the actual existence, mainly the skewered testimony from the performers as well as the finding of bloodied furniture and clothing, which are given logical debunked ideas to prolong but still plant the mystery in mind. As usual with these kinds of films, the fact that there's a heaping amount of nudity is never a bad thing, especially in this one as it provides the film's most enjoyable facets. From the first female picked up is forced into a striptease that gets a really great reaction, and the threesome that is participated in is rather well-done. The attack at the end is somewhat exciting, offering up a confrontation that has a satisfactory ending with the film's rather fun use of the rules of the genre to get some of the main facts in. Otherwise, this one wasn't that spectacular.

The Bad News: This one here has a couple of flaws that are somewhat damaging to it. The main one here is the really cheap feel to it. This one has no real impressive gore effects, as it's mostly quite bad and really fake-looking. One sequence, where a neck wound begins spurting blood mainly for the effect rather than anything that would happen realistically and is one of the one parts that sticks out because of it. The ludicrous fangs and the inappropriate growling that accompanies the attacks are just more examples. The main one, though, is easily the sets and feel of this one, which has no other option but to almost literally scream cheapness through everything visible. The rooms are small and claustrophobic, there's a big discrepancy between indoors and outdoors, and the fact that it takes place in just about three or four locations manages to make that point even more valid. The final ceremony scenes, which come complete with entirely fake giant spider-webs strewn about liberally, the cheap candles and skull decorations and drop-cloths for the table covers is almost too much to take at some points. From the point where the mystery is initiated to when there's some really slow-going parts to it, making for a long portion of time where there's nothing at all happening. From the different amounts of conversations about the club to their own problems to everything in between, this one has some large parts that offer up very little excitement and has parts that are boring. These here make the film somewhat lower overall.

The Final Verdict: A fairly tepid example of the genre, with no real point of greatness of badness, but it does have a healthy amount of both. Only give this one a chance for hardcore fans of the genre that want to see everything in the genre or find enjoyment in the low-budget realm, otherwise leave this one alone.

Rated R: Graphic Violence, Full Nudity, Graphic Language and a sex scene
