2 out of 5 stars What a waste...   February 24, 2008
Franco Jesse (Pittsburgh, USA)

Hot babes in black leather and fangs, a throbbing nightclub scene...great setup for a vampire flick. Too bad this one falls flat. Don't blame the actresses, who revel in kicking the butts of unruly male patrons, having sex with them and then biting them in the, uh...place where folks sometimes sarcastically ask others to bite them. The problems lie in the dialog and plot, which seem to have been made up on the fly, as it were. When the big twist comes near the end, you'll find yourself saying "huh?" Don't bother rewinding and reviewing...it still won't make sense. This could have been fun, but it's ruined, in no small part, by stupid male characters...a hayseed boyfriend, his asian buddy who tries to impress chicks by talking like a thug, and finally Lamas, an ubervampire whose attitude and behavior make no sense whatsoever. No suspense, no fun, no scares, no redeeming qualities. Skip this one.

If you can find it cheap buy it, if not rent it first. If there is one thing I do it is not to lie about movies that I leave a review for. I bought this for one reason and one reason alone Crystal Lowe. I got it cheap so I wasn't too upset with her lack of screen time. Look it's a cheap vampire movie with so so special effects. The girls are ok to look at and thats about it. Enjoy or not........


3 out of 5 stars A Misrecorded DVD Of A Fun Movie   March 1, 2007
C. Chow (Leesburg VA)
If you have any thoughts of buying this DVD I want to give you fair warning that it is improperly recorded. In a pathetic attempt to conceal the fact that `Blood Angels' AKA `Thralls' never played in theaters, the picture aspect ratio is artificially widened!!! Hence, the film in letter boxed and stretched so the ratio is 125% wider than natural!!! Unless you can manually adjust the aspect ration on your TV or PC this DVD may be UNWATCHABLE.

Such a shame since `Blood Angels' is a guilty pleasure. The plot is thin but the concept is fascinating.

Vampire Master Lorenzo Lamas holds starlet wannabes hostage in his mansion turning them into "thralls" half vampires. The girls rebel and are able to escape with the valuable Necronomicon. (So that's what happened to the Necronomicon, it's been in Lorenzo Lamas' attic.) The thralls open a Hollywood nightclub where male guests get sucked in more way than one. They're not complaining. The thralls study the Necronomicon in hope of becoming full blooded vampires.

Why it works: Anime actor Richard Ian Cox best known as playing Inuyasha totally steals the show by hamming it up as Lamas' vampire familiar. The opening scene is worth it all. As Cox returns to the darkened mansion, he enters the attic and is blinded by white light. The entire attic is bright white including the thralls' wedding gown clothing and Cox's three piece suit. The thralls are chained together in the center of the room. Cox says, "Hello ladies. Miss me? I brought you dinner." (or words to that effect) He removes a bloody rat from a brown paper bag. The thralls drool hungrily at it. "It's fresh." As he drops it on the floor it is still twitching. Cox looks concerned as one of the girls Roxie is absent. "Roooxiiieee?" he calls as to a kitten. He follows her chain behind a curtain and finds it attached to a severed foot.



3 out of 5 stars Campy, silly, but fun.   May 26, 2005

Blood Angels is the story of a small town girl who has come to stay in the city with her big sister. Little realizing that the sister and the rest of the club staff are actually demi-vampires.

Judging by the cover of this film, I expected it to be cheesecake. Parts were. But I was pleased to see there were actually a few hot guys in this too.

Parts of this film were actually kind of funny like the Japanese kid who wanted to be a hipster, and the comments made by the master vampire. I particularly thought the ending was pretty funny.

This is a B-rated campy, silly vampire film with a few good scenes. Rated R for nudity and violence.
