Great horror movie!

My wife and I are huge horror movie collectors. We have all three sets of the Aterdark Horrorfest films. This was one of our favorites. It does have kind of a weak ending, but the overall movie was great. It's a classic haunting movie with some really creepy scenes. Also, it has some prominent actors in it. Because most of the Afterdark films are considered 'low budget', many of them don't have prominent actors like this one does. So, if you're in the mood for a good jumpy scary movie, I think you'll enjoy this film. Buy it!
What's great about it: Really creepy!
What's not so great: The ending could have been better.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The movie was actually a lot better than my wife and I thought. We have the whole set and held off on this one because we didn't think it would be that great. We were wrong! This movie has a great twist at the end that's a shocker. I'm not going to spoil it, but I will say, it's a different take on the subject. You just need to see this for yourself. Buy it!
What's great about it: The twist at the end!

Buy the whole set!

If you're a horror movie fan, you'll love these films. My wife and I are huge movie collectors and horror movie lovers. We actually have all three sets, including two extras. They say '8 films to die for' but in the first two sets there's actually 9. So, if you buy this set, also look for Frontier(s), (and Captivity, which was part of the first set.) Now, my over all rating was five stars for the set as a whole, which I recommend unless they're individually on sale for under $14.99. I've seen all of them and thought most of them were great, with the exception of two I personally didn't like. (But some one else might.) Some of them are low budget films, but a lot of really good horror movies are low budget films. I've written reviews about individual movies from all three sets including a review about the third set as a whole, if you want to check those out. (Just click 'read my reviews'.) I did this because some people just buy a couple at a time, and I respect that. I hope this and my other reviews are useful.
What's great about it: Great for the price.
What's not so great: There are basically no DVD extras.

If you're a fan of the Afterdark Horrorfest films, then you'll love the new series. My wife and I are huge fans, we have all 26. (And no, I didn't add wrong. They say '8 films to die for' but the first two series technically had 9, some people don't know that.) Buying them in the pack is worth the price, unless they are individually on sale for under $14.99. But, whether you buy them in the pack or seperately, this series is the best. I'm not taking away from the other series, it's just that, in the other series it was kind of hit or miss. One would be really good, one would terrible and some were just ok. But, so far in this series, my wife and I have seen 7 out of 8, and they were all good. That's why I wrote this review about the whole set, it's because the whole set is worth owning.(In my opinion.) Also, I've written individual reviews about movies in this series and the other two series, if you want to check those out. Some people just want to buy a couple at a time, and I respect that. (Click, other reviews buy this person.) I hope this and my other reviews have been useful.
What's great about it: Everything!
What's not so great: There are basically no DVD extras.

Fantastic movie!!!

I don't know how anyone could not like this movie. My wife and I thought it was incredible! It's a powerful drama that grips you from start to finish. Kate Winslet, Ralph Fiennes(one of my personal favorites,) David Kross, Lena Olin, etc., the acting was supurb across the board. This film has a very deep, emotional and controversial plot. My only negative comment is that it's not the 'provocative thriller' they claim it to be on the cover. I would say powerful drama, thriller is not acurate. Otherwise, I would definitely buy this movie, it's worth watching more than once.
What's great about it: The movie, start to finish!
What's not so great: Nothing!

Great movie!

This movie came out at the same time Twilight did so it didn't get as much recognition. Plus, there aren't any prominent actors in it. But, unlike Twilight, which was a romantic kids movie, this movie is much darker and really twisted. My wife and I are movie collectors, most which are horror. We love vampire films and thought Twilight was a complete bust. But, Bled was so much better. It puts a new twist on vampirism that's never been done. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because of the acting and special FX. If they had've put more money into it and better actors, this would've been a big hit! I would definitely check this out, if you like vampire movies. (I'd wait for to drop to about $14.99 or less.)
What's great about it: The plot was great.
What's not so great: The acting could have been better.

It's OK.

This movie could've been so much better. Now, I've not read the books, but I know a few people that have, and they said the book was a lot better. (Then again, book's usually are better than the movies, because movies always have to cut some stuff out.) My wife and I are collectors of both. We have about 500 or so books and about 2,000 DVDs. I'm not bragging, just showing credibility. That said, this review is about the movie. I thought the cinematograghy was great, the plot was decent, but the acting was horrible. Plus, my wife and I thought the movie was childishly done. I know the actors are teenagers, but the way it was filmed is like it was strictly for kids and teenagers. I don't even know how it got a PG-13 rating. It was like a PG Disney movie or something. When we got it, we thought it was going to be more serious. On the other hand, I hear the next one, New Moon, is suppose to be better, more for adults. Maybe the movies mature as the characters do. So, if you're looking for a good vampire horror, this is NOT the movie. But, if you want a nice little heart-warming family film, that happens to be about a family of vampires, then this would be a good movie. We were under the impression it was horror/romance, not a kids movie. If you haven't bought it yet, I'd wait for it to drop to $9.99 or just rent it. I hope this review was useful. Also, when I say at the bottom, I would NOT recommend this to a friend, it's because I don't have kids for friends. I would ONLY recommend this to kids, teenagers or families.
What's great about it: Very artistic.
What's not so great: The acting was terrible.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My wife and I loved this movie! We're huge fans of the Afterdark Horrorfest films, we have all 26. This is one of the best ones! The plot is great. It gives you a look at the total chaos that could come from running out of oil. It's pretty scary, if you think about it, 90% of our cars, factories, ect. run on gas or oil. The result is alot like it was in the Mad Max movies. Except they're not fighting for gas, they're fighting to stay alive. Plus, Vinnie Jones is in it.(I'm a fan of his.) All around, this movie was terrific. Not a dull moment. I highly recommend it, a must see!

This movie was fantastic! It has a great plot, great acting, and keeps you on the edge of you're seat. My wife and I have all 26 Afterdark Horrorfest films, and I have to say, this is one of the better ones. This one was intense right up to the credits. The back of the movie is rather vague as to what it's about, but in thier defense, it is rather hard to describe what it's about. Just take my word for it, it's worth buying!
What's great about it: Great plot and very intense!

I know I was contradictory in saying that, what was and was not good about the film, is that it's disturbing. I'll explain. The reason I liked it is because, my wife and I love disturbing and controversial movies. Now, what's no so good, is that, it's based on a true story. In our opinions, that makes the movie that much better, but it makes you wonder, how could some one do something like this. Stephen King said it best, "It's the dark-side-of-the-moon version of Stand By Me." This movie is a must see. Jack Ketchum has a great way of showing you the dark side of people, and what some people are capable of doing. If you like the movie and want some more, check out The Lost. It's another movie by Ketchum based on a true story, and also disturbing. My wife and I highly recommend this movie.
What's great about it: It's very disturbing!
What's not so great: It's very disturbing!
