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.
