I've always been a huge science fiction fan and I just stumbled across this little flick from last year. No idea what to expect. Maybe just another boring space slasher? But Bloodsucker's Planet is really entertaining. Seems to be a tribute to shlocky sci-fi films from the 1960s. Definitely much better than your typical low budget fare. There is a lot of creativity that went into this little gem. Some of the special effects are pretty cool. I liked the characters. Very light-hearted and trippy production. It's fun!
I am a big Sci-Fi fan and this is quite a little gem. The acting, casting, script, music (title song too) sets, direction and effects were all very good, and certainly carried the story both to the level of making it believable, as well as fun and retro at the same time. Definitely beyond the "student film" level. I really enjoyed it. Some of the "references" to the 60's were very clever...after all, this takes place in the '60s. Another note on the casting, it was very well done, all the characters were well cast and portrayed. The combination of Sci-Fi with horror (vampires) really worked and there were some scenes that were genuinely creepy! Watched it twice and will probably watch it more!
