Blood Suckers from Outer Space

"Bloodsuckers from Outer Space" pretty much...SUCKED!! It was one of the worst movies ever. I think the worst part was the acting. That pretty much killed it all. The two "heroes"--a failing photographer and girl he meets somehow--are the least likable characters ever. And I always wished they would just die. But there was barely any action anyhow! Just a bunch of mindless drool. I'll admit it, I was only watching this with half my attention span. But believe me, you didn't need much to understand how bad this movie was!

The dialogue was some of the funniest. The photographer telling his human-turned-bloodsucker friend, "You're not getting any blood out of us." Or, when the two start physically fighting, when the girl turns and looks at the camera and says, "I can't take another kung-fu scene!" Then she runs downstairs and hits the friend's girlfriend. Also, when the two find that the guy's aunt and uncle are bloodsuckers, the aunt tells the girl, "I've got a recipe for spaghetti you'll just love." The way she says it had me laughing hysterically!

Also note--there were no deaths except for those who were turned into the creatures. Maybe a few army guys died, that's about it. And also, there is no specified reason why and how this all happened. But the way the guy's friends are turned into bloodsuckers is so funny. They're in the shower, and the curtain is somewhat see-through. They start screaming, and you see them literally throwing blood against the curtain from the bottom of the shower. To make it look like they're getting killed. It is so horrible!!

I don't think there really was a climax. I think the movie just sort of ended on an odd note. Like, everything was okay...or maybe not. One of those crappy endings. Please, avoid this movie AT ALL COSTS!! It is one the worst movies ever made! But if you need to see how bad it is, I say, rent it if you find it. You can laugh at the terrible acting.

Blood Suckers from Outer Space (1984)

* (out of 4)

A failed photographer and a hot lady somehow (and unbelievably) run into one another while in Texas and before long they are heading out to see his relatives. It turns out that they have already turned into "blood suckers from outer space" as well as other farmers. The two must try and battle the creatures without turning into them as well.

Look, comedy is a very subjective thing. There's no question about that and I'm sure there are many people out there who fell for the charm of this movie and really love it. Yes, it's poorly acted, has awful sets and at times is poorly made but I'm pretty sure all of this was on purpose. I'm sure many will love the low-budget look and style of the picture but sadly it just didn't work for me.

What can I say? The comedy and the attempt at spoofing these type of low-budget horror movies just didn't work for it. I understood what the film was going for and I give the filmmakers credit for it but the only thing is that the film never really grabbed me to the point where I fell for its humor and enjoyed what I was watching. It's really as simple as that.

Usually when I give a film such a low rating it means that I hated the picture for one reason or another but that's certainly not the case here. It's just better to say that I didn't connect with the film but I'm sure others will. I will say that I loved the look of the creatures and the no-budget gore effects were nice.

The title says it all. It takes place in the green grass of Texas. Filming locations: Dallas, Texas, USA, Enloe, Texas, USA, and Hamilton, Texas, USA.

This is a 1984 movie, but everyone has 70s hairstyles and glasses. Oh, yes, this is supposed to be rural Texas.

Bad acting, bad dialogue, one-liners, and fake blood. It is made too dumb to be hokey. Actually, they say what we all wanted to say but are too politically correct to utter.

Try this one: Farmer talking to Jeff, "Ever since your father died, I have felt responsible for you. Your father was like a brother to me." Jeff, "My father was your brother." Farmer, "Well, I guess that explains it then."

Or maybe an oldy but goody: In the car - "Can you get a little closer?" "I can't, the gear shift is in the way." "That is not the gearshift."

"Don't know what's happening in my town. Seems everybody's changed. All of the people that I thought I knew. They're acting oh so strange. They're not in it for the money. They're not in it for the love. No, this is something else entirely, honey. They're out for blood." - "They're Out For Blood" written by Emilie Aronson, Ann Armstrong, and Steve Hughes

Soundtracks: They're Out for Blood - Written by Emilie Aronson, Ann Armstrong, and Steve Hughes Just a Mirage - Written by Emilie Aronson and Steve Hughes I Want You - Written by Ann Armstrong Step Into the Night - Written by Steve Hughes John Hardee - Traditional There are radio songs on various car radios that did not make the list of songs.

The question you have to ask yourself is this: how much slack are you willing to cut this? You have to be aware that this is like an amateur hour kind of thing. I don't mean this necessarily in a bad way. We all have different tastes, some like big budget extravaganzas, others like movies that seem to have been made by a couple of friends.

Having said that, you can tell by the humor not much time went into the script. Maybe even every other idea that sounded good to whoever was responsible for it got thrown it - maybe some of the so called actors contributed. Again, all a matter of taste. No pun intended - though I will assume you are not into human flesh.

Jokes aside, the movie knows what it is and everyone involved probably had a hoot and a blast making it. Doesn't mean you will have too ... but you might.

This movie is the perfect B movie for all you B horror Fans our there. For those who don't know what i'm talking about a B movie is a low budget usually poorly acted Horror, which usually ends up being funny. It's called B because they're grade B movies.I watched this movie two weeks ago with my freind and we were laughing our heads off!, I really encourage fans of B movies to check this out!!

I give it 7/10 (this doesn't mean it was a great movie it just was so damn crappy it was good!)
