Out for Blood

In Los Angeles, Detective Hank Holten (Kevin Dillon) is obsessed by his ex-wife, the writer of vampire novels Susan Hastings (Vanessa Angel), stalking her and having drinking problems. His chief and friend, Captain John Billings (Lance Henriksen), makes him promise to forget her and stop drinking, and assigns Hank to find Layla Simmons (Jody Lyn O'Keefe), who is missing and without notice to her family. Hank goes to a rave party, finds Layla, they go to an orgy party in an old building, and while having sex with her, Hank finds that the place is a vampire nest. He is bitten by the vampire-leader, but nobody believes on him. He looks for Susan to help him.

"Out For Blood" is not so bad as IMDb User Rating of 3.7 indicates. The story has many flaws and clichés, but is interesting; Vanessa Angel is not a good actress, indeed she is awful; I like Kevin Dillon, but he is very weird in this movie; but in the end, "Out for Blood" is an above average vampire story. The scenes with the vampire Alex are very funny and Kenneth Colom has a good performance. Jody Lyn O'Keefe is tremendously sexy. The music score is excellent. Therefore, with lower expectations and liking vampire films, this B-movie may entertain. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Sangue de Lobo" ("Wolf Blood")

Easily the worst vampire-flick I've ever seen. Hammy-acting, a plot that just had to be written by an 8-year old -> or better yet -> his imaginary friend. They throw in tons of cliché-filled drivel that makes me think that the "decent vampire flick" genre is now a thing of the past.

Don't even get me started about blood-stains that mysteriously vanish (I wanted to poke myself with a pencil through my eyes during the final scene!)

What were they thinking when they made this? Even porno has more congruent story lines!!!

Sci-Fi!!! What has become of you lately?

A cop investigating a series of disappearances links them too an abandon building where a cult of vampires are living in the basement. Naturally, his captain doesn't believe him, so it's up to him—and his ex-wife, a vampire novelist—to stop the bloodsuckers before they can kill more people. An average entry in the vampire sub-genre. Acting wasn't as bad as I feared (Lance Henrikson, a wonderful actor in this viewer's opinion, steals the show with his usual straight-faced delivery), the script has its moments (wisely writer/director Richard Brandes never takes the subject matter too seriously) and its even got a couple of fun (albeit hockey) gore scenes. The creature effects, from John Carl Buechler, were okay. I came in to "Vampires: Out For Blood" expecting the worst but it really wasn't that awful. An average horror film, die-hard vampire fans may enjoy it. 4/10.

I would like to know who I contact at Sci Fi to request a refund of the 2 hours of my life wasted on this movie. It was a hodge-podge of every known vampire movie cliché known to man...

Have to kill the master... darn its almost sundown.. Why don't they ever find him 5 minutes after 9 am?

I gotta look under the bed...ooops I'm dead.

The one good point in this movie (besides the end.. not the ending but the words THE END) was the Sammy Sosa impression done to the ex-wife's boyfriend. Classy

If anyone else hasn't seen this flick.. I envy you.

I watched OUT FOR BLOOD when it premiered on the Sci-Fi channel last summer and although I was expecting it to be slightly better than it was, I still found it to be better than most movies that premiered on the Sci-Fi channel in the past few years. Low-budget like all of the Sci-fi channel original movies, some of the effects are a bit cheesy, but most of them are decent enough. One would expect the special effects to be the highlight of a vampire film like this, but the highlight is actually Kevin Dillon's performance. His performance almost makes up for the clichéd script and occasionally weak directing. Despite the flaws of OUT FOR BLOOD, it still an entertaining picture that never left me bored and given a better budget and script, could have been an above average vampire flick. I give it 5/10.
