Blood Vessel

**Some of its budget constraints hold back Blood Vessel, but what they did pull off made for a decent horror movie.** Blood Vessel isn’t particularly unique or innovative, but it’s a solid vampire low-budget horror film. Let’s start with the bad. The movie spends almost a full hour and 15 minutes before the vampires start munching on people making the story drag until the action begins. Once the action did start, it was generally quick cuts and shaky cam rather than well-choreographed fights. Now for the good. The set, costumes, creature design, makeup, and practical effects were all excellent for a low-budget film. The eyes of the vampires looked so cool! I really liked the motley crew of characters and their struggle to survive. In the end, Blood Vessel wasn’t an outstanding film, but I enjoyed watching it anyway!
