Bloodsuckers (Mill Creek Entertainment DVD Set)

 

Picture: C     Sound: D     Extras: D     Collection: C

 
Vampires in the night, they're sexy, they're sultry... and they want to suck your blood. Get ready for a flood of vampires stories, anything from mafia vampires to (literally) man eating babes.  These vampires just can't get enough blood, fall into the world of dark supernatural undead passion, lust and fangs.
 
If you like dark, scary or grim stories then look no further.  Vampires are one of the most beloved monsters of horror, throughout the ages they are the rulers of the night, the ancient evil, the bane of mankind.  They hide secretly in society, seduce their prey and drink their blood, and if you are lucky they turn you into one of them.  They appeal to the darker side of human nature, but are the vampires really monsters and beasts in human disguise, or just higher-up on the food chain?  Only you can decide.
 
I like vampires, they are the icons of cool, dark, gloomy and lonely characters, they represent the human lust for immortality, sexual prowess, and thirst for power.  However, these 12 films looked like if they all they came from some college vampire film festival, they had poor lighting, sound, and looked like they were made with a home hand-held camcorder.  The fangs, blood, and guts looked like they bought from a Halloween costume shop, and any CG looked really fake (I'll be honest, it's no Twilight or Blade), but on the other hand there was a lot of nudity and vampire sex scenes.  But ignoring all the graphics aside (including the poor picture and sound quality throughout), this series had a few interesting stories, mostly based on the vampire legends, their powers, their society and rules ....and their unsatisfiable lust for blood.
