Blood Ransom (2014)
2/10
Bloody Nonsense

Warning: Spoilers
I watched this whole movie through hoping to find some point or reason for ANYTHING that was happening and came up with nothing. There's no explanation as to why this vamp girl is supposed to be so special, or why Jeremiah is driving her around. Ok fine between the two of them there is some sort of attraction, but why? Neither seems to have any redeeming qualities at all. Bill, who is sent out by the head vampire dude to kill Jerr and bring this vamp girl back is all bang and no bite. He repeatedly has the chance to fulfill his mission, since he magically always knows where our hero and vamp chick are hiding out, but apart from some idle threats he just lets them go? And the ending, wow. We expect some epic fight scene between Jeremiah and Roman but all we get is a mutual scream of rage from both of them, a drawn blade, and then the scene ends. Cut to the white room now painted from floor to ceiling with blood which looks more stupid than gory. And of course Bill is there to stop whatever blood ritual that Jerr and his vamp girlfriend are supposed to be doing to reverse her transformation. A transformation she keeps waffling back and forth about the whole movie. She wants to be cured, and then she doesn't, kill me, save me.. she just can't make up her darn mind. In this blood painted room almost everyone meets their end, so it's rather anticlimactic and unsatisfying. The closing shot has her wandering alone in a sort of daze down a highway in another ridiculous leather outfit that she seems to favor throughout the whole movie. Cue the melodramatic music and then fade to black. WTF did I just watch?
