OK, for what it is, it wasn't that bad. Considering it was such a low budget movie I will allow some things like the setting and the really really fake attack scenes, and low sound quality. But honestly, they could have spent a little more on there camera and sound work. They almost seemed to be attempting to remake the effect of "Blair Witch" with the poor visual quality. And even a low budget movie doesn't excuse such poor acting. Most of the characters seem so wooden, as if they were reading the lines for the first time. There was no emotion, no feeling in the delivery. The plot wasn't to bad, though if they spent 9 days writing this movie, perhaps they should have been a little more prepared and waited another 9 to make some much needed repairs. The very definition of a B horror movie, if you want to make fun of a bad movie this is a choice, but not worth the 5 bucks I paid.

I recently saw this film with some friends at a film festival in LA. When I first started watching it, I thought, oh come on this is just another B film and I can guess everything that is going to happen. But I have to say that while I was able to guess a lot of it, there was some turns that I didn't expect and some of the scary moment really got me! It was a combination of the movie and also the music and harsh sounds! Even though I knew some of them were coming it still startled me! and for those facts alone I really enjoyed this one. Thats why you go to these kinds of movies, is to be scared and for that I applaud this film. Also the action in this movie was far more advanced than the other films I saw in the festival. So all in all I liked, don't get me wrong it had its share of dumb moments, but still very entertaining.

I saw this film at the New York International Film Festival, 2004. I originally went to see another film, but, after seeing the posters, I thought I would sit in for a bit. BUT... after the opening sequence, I had to stay for more... It was a lower budget movie; nevertheless, I thought they did great! I give it a "10.0" rating because I thought that their fight sequences were far more advanced than this film genre produces, their acting was decent for a low budget film and, most of all, they wrote the script in only 9 days! That's right! that is what the explained during the Q and A session of this film! They wrote 10-12 pages per day! Unbelievable! I mean, it was not the most complex script, but... it is definitely better than 'any other full length feature script I have read that was written in the same time frame (9 days)--Anyway, blah, blah...if they did this film with pennies, it will be interesting to see what they can do with Millions! ... I'm sold! Great Job and best of luck!

Well, Long story short... my friend came down from Canada today, and he brought a couple of horror films with him (we like that type of stuff), so, we watched and laughed through the first two (they were rather lame)... BUT, then we watched The Bloodletting and, after laughing at, and bashing the cover art, I must say... I loved it! It had stupid moments BUT... What movie doesn't? These guys did a great job with nothing and their fight choreography was ABSOLUTELY the best I have seen in this "B-Movie, Horror Film Genre"...PERIOD! These guys have the action thing down! Anyway, I look forward to more movies from Colapsar Entertainment! (Forgive me if I misspelled your company name???)

I like B movies, and this one was not the best, but definitely worth my $5.00 ... contrary to one of the posts I read before seeing this film. I loved the fight sequences, thought the acting was mediocre, thought the lead Vampire did a good job, thought the score was alright, hated the back-lighting in the opening scene (though it got better right after that), got scared a few times, laughed a few times, got angry a few times (dude, don't get out of the car!) ...and, well, good job and I am glad you guys can make a decent film with no money, and get distribution! I say this because I live in LA, & saw this film while visiting family in Canada... do you have domestic distribution yet? Anyway, well done...

I liked the Film, I thought the opening credits were cool, but, the opening 60 second scene was awful! Not so much the acting, but the back-lighting... there isn't any! ...thus pixelating the film. Common error by indy-filmmakers. Nevertheless, they figured that out quick, thank God, and it gets better after that first scene... so hang in there. Well, I thought the acting was decent, for low budget, the Lead Vampire was strong, the brit was stiff, the action directing was good, at least, it kept me interested, and the score was decent. Although I felt some silence, instead of score, would have been a better choice in some scenes. Moreover, the strongest part of this film was the Fight choreography! They are behind in some area's, but Far ahead of their game in action, I believe this will be the prime reason people watch this film. The action is very satisfying... again, with emphasis on the fact that this was a low budget film. Good Job and best of Luck. -a must rent if one enjoys low-budget, creative action/fight sequences... without the big budget explosions and nonsense.

Good job guys! Keep up the good work... and don't bother with those "Haters" who gave you a 1-star. They are just a couple of failed actors or filmmakers or something... some dorks without a life who like to bash others while picking their noses and playing with their G.I. Joes. So don't let it get ya down if you read their nonsense. I am a filmmaker, so I understand. *NOW, in regards to the film, I think you have a lot to work on, but still did a great job for a movie done with 'pennies' (as stated by another reviewer). I enjoyed different aspects of your film, but absolutely loved your fight sequences, pacing and realism, but thought that you should have put more action in the beginning. It didn't really drag overall in the beginning, but certain shots did drag-out. But from experience, for distribution purposes, you were probably just trying to add minutes or seconds to your film. Additionally, after about the 25 minute mark things started to get interesting though and after the 45 minute mark I was pretty involved with the movie. So, in a nutshell... I would recommend this film to others and encourage people to watch it... but, not to hate on it unless they can do better. I will look forward to other films from Colapsar Entertainment! (Cool name, what does the mean anyway?)

I liked the film. It was a common low budget film, hard to watch at some points, especially the opening scene, nevertheless, I still enjoy seeing the creative side of young film makers who are still learning and growing in their craft. I enjoyed the fight scenes and loved the opening credits. Good job. At any rate, knowing this is an Independent film, I would recommend it. I also read the comment posted by Sonya of this film's production company. That was a good comment. Good move. I say this because this comment helps you appreciated this film 10 fold. She (Sonya) informs everyone about this fact: 'the film was made by two kids. They shot, wrote, cut and got a distribution deal all by themselves. So I give them credit, for I know how hard that is to do! Now, I am sure the film makers already know what could have been changed and what not to do in the future, so I will spare them the talk. Nevertheless, to the production company and these two young men, "best of luck on your next film and continue to gain that experience so your future projects will get better and better!"

The Bloodletting is a "B" movie. Obviously! But never does it deserve a "1" IMDb Rating. Period. This film won a large festival based on these facts: Four man Crew, Written in 9 Days (12 pages per day), made with a ZERO budget, decent fight choreography, Written, Directed, Choreographed, Edited and starred in by Jeremy Dunn and Shaun Piccinino. "That's Two people Friends! Again, TWO PEOPLE! Two people who are only 27 Years old Too! Yet they still got a World Wide Distribution deal." So, I pose the Question to all the Haters giving really low ratings... "Can You Do Better? If so, with a Zero Budget?" I highly doubt it. If so, prove it. Nonetheless, if you CAN do the same and CAN back it up with facts, thus proving a zero-budget, completed, feature film WITH a worldwide distribution deal... then vote what you will. However, if not, if you have never made a film before and are just some kid under 30 who sits around all day and gets a kick at bashing people who have completed more than you ever will in the Film Business... then "Get a life." Don't bash unless you can do better, otherwise, you are no better than a sour, bitter... hater. Take the movie for what it is worth and appreciate it.

To Move on, let me inform the Public, mainly the Haters, about these two nice gentleman filmmakers Jeremy Dunn and Shaun Piccinino. Shaun Piccinino is now making about $75,000 per year as an editor and visual effects specialist for Seth Green's HUGE effects company "Shadow Animation." Since the Bloodletting, Shaun is prepping for his next Feature film of which he has been offered $500,000 dollars to make. Additionally, Shaun has worked under Drew Carey, George Lucas and Seth Green... just to name a few. As a matter of fact, Fox news channel has even tried to hire Shaun for his talents, which speaks volumes considering that Fox News is the Most Visual Effects Filled, highest paying news station in the WORLD! Nevertheless, I could go on and on, but I will not.

Jeremy Dunn is still acting and has made appearances on the show "Justice," "CSI" and "CSI Miami," Jeremy also doubled Robert Patrick in the upcoming action comedy "Balls of Fury" starring Christopher Walken... and has doubled Garrett Hedlund (Billingsly) in the Famous Football movie "Friday Night Lights." Likewise, Jeremy starred in the 24 Million Dollar Budget Video Game "TRUE CRIME: Streets of New York." He played and did all the Motion Capture for Marcus (The Guy on the Cover of the Box), Christopher Walken's Character and many other personalities in that Game. Moreover, he is currently the assistant editor on a Rob Schneider Feature Film Called "Cornerman," which already has Oscar Buzz, due out in 2007. Rob's production company is working along side Jargon Entertainment (Sub Company for My Name is Earl) to finish the post-production. Jeremy and Shaun have now been cast in Jargon Entertainment's next two Feature Films. -This is just the beginning.

At any rate, keep Doing well Shaun and Jeremy, keep making that money! As for the haters, get a life, a job, then buy a camera, and try to make a film... THEN compare it to The Bloodletting. After your film is completed, see if you are immediately offered a full time Job in Hollywood alongside a $500,000 dollar movie deal... like The Bloodletting Filmmakers did. Oh, and remember Mr. or Mrs. Hater... "Real Hollywood people, recognize raw Hollywood Talent with potential." That is why they are here and you are there.
