Review of Blood Vessel

Blood Vessel (2019)
3/10
Not scary, cardboard characters, boring

I really had high hopes for this. I love Nazi horror movies and shelled out $5 to rent this on-demand.

Five minutes in, I started having doubts and an hour in, I just wanted it to be over.

It starts with some text about how at the end of the war, the Nazis tried to sink allied vessels and kill all survivors. It then cuts to a life raft full of... survivors. Sigh.

Said life raft is floating on completely calm and flat water (the North Atlantic should be really rough). The survivors have no exposure damage from sun, salt, and look like they were told to fall asleep by the director. There's a woman, a black guy, an Australian, an even a Russian. LOL yeah, as if a ship would have been carrying one of everything... so bad.

The Russian soldier speaks perfect English. Because clearly Russian peasant soldiers are very worldly. He just omits "a" and "an" for extra-dramatic effect. Wow!

The black guy mouths off the white guys, because clearly that's what people did back in 1945.

I can go on and on, but that's just the first 10 minutes. The dialogue is cringe-worthy and painful.

Clearly this isn't a high-budget production, but the vampires look like Mickey Mouse with comically stupid fangs.

Don't waste your time. Go watch Dead Snow 2, Shock Waves, our Outpost instead.
