Blood Ranch

There were so many silly weirdos in this movie, it had to set out to be a humorous time on the set. I cannot imagine the director planning on making this a truly horrifying experience. At one point i found the characters so entirely bizarre that I was almost heaving with laughter. I've seen dozens and dozens of horror flicks, because i myself am an aspiring horror film maker. And i found this one to be simplistic, but good. The story was obviously drawn upon from other horror hits, but nevertheless, i found the flick entertaining. you need to have the peaks and valleys of scare and fun. I believe the most enjoyable chap to appreciate was the primary sicko spider. he had an eloquent southern drawl that gave me shivers from me head to me panties. here-here.

Yet another DVD box that promised all sorts of depravity and ended up not even showing a breast.

More silly kids end up out in the desert. They stumble into this compound of a bunch of sheds and huts wherein roam several mental defectives who are led by a guy called Spider. While all kinds of brutality and mayhem is promised on the box,other than a woman getting her arm hacked off not much depravity is shown.

Special effects are minimal. The acting is horrible. The script is worse. More homemade crap from Xenon.Anyone with a video camera and some red colored corn syrup could make something like this. That doesn't mean they should.

I have several daughters that are in high school now (a Senior and two Sophmores, twins).

They had a PJ Party and approximately, about a dozen girlfriends came for the weekend, so as to celebrate my daughters birthdays, just prior to school beginning. A pseudo "Last Hurrah," prior to the grind. They came home with 6 horror films from Blockbuster and began watching them. Well, on Saturday morning as I was cleaning house, I hear this familiar tone of voice and laughter coming from the stereo speakers.

As I entered the den, I looked at the screen and immediately began laughing hysterically. My eldest paused the movie and questioned my surprise outburst. I responded, that's Jimmy Fitzpatrick, one of my college boyfriends, when I attended Illinois State in the 70's.

It wasn't a great movie, but it was fun to watch Jimmy play such a crazy character. Congratulations Jimmy, you have a dozen new-young fans...and one older one obviously. Jimmy was a very nice boy back then, and a very passionate kisser.

I almost spit-out my popcorn. It began with a very loose and care-free feel to it, then suddenly, the convenient store clerk and other people in the started acting morose and dreadful. The little girl sitting outside of the store was so cute, but monotone. I'm guessing she was the executive producers daughter or family friend. the other actors were entertaining and believable. the story overall was fun and scary.

If you want to have good entertaining fun, rent this funny- scary movie. This movie actually reminds me of a parody of scary movie.

The one thing I think you will enjoy is that the young ladies are all cute and sexy and pretty good actresses.

It takes a while to get going, but once you get to the Blood Ranch it's sort of a homage to Texas Chainsaw Massacre with more than a little touch of Bloodsucking Freaks thrown in for good measure. Sure it's degenerate, but at least creatively so, a non stop parade of demented and oddly funny torture scenes that at the very least boast some imagination--no sense ultimately but it all has a loopy nutty quality. Blood Ranch seems like it will never end, which is a good and bad thing, it's pretty high-powered oddness. Vernon Wells has only one scene, but it's a long good scene and actually from that moment on the rest of the movie works.

The ending leaves a bunch of things hanging that don't have to be left that way and as I said the start is pretty slow going--though there is a decent car chase and some nice cold desert photography/videography.

Much more original in total than the dull ultimately useless The Hills Have Eyes remake.
