Blood Bitch Baby – review

Director: Donald Farmer

Release date: 2025*
*The Blu-Ray box and actual film suggest 2025, but there is no IMDb page at time of writing

Contains spoilers


Ah, Donald Farmer, with at least 41 directorial credits to his name, mostly within the low budget horror arena, his films have featured here at TMtV several times and I have to admit they haven’t scored very well when reviewed.

Jessa Jupiter Flux as Bathory

This film gets on here by dint of the primary character being Elizabeth Bathory (Jessa Jupiter Flux, Debbie Does Demons & OnlyFangs). Indeed the film begins with Elizabeth speaking to camera, not revealing her identity as such but offering Bathory’s background. As it turns out she made a deal with the devil that she could maintain youth and immortality on the proviso she find a vessel for the gestation of the devil’s child.

waking from a dream

It starts proper with a woman going down a dark street, afraid, kidnapped, vampirically terrorised... and then Jenny (Angel Nichole Bradford, also Debbie Does Demons) wakes as though this was her disturbing dream. She goes to the bathroom and we see bruising on her waist, put there we assume by abusive boyfriend Kevin (Joe Casterline). We see first-hand the abuse; she has a job interview but all he wants is for her to bring him *his* money.

fangs

The interview is with Elizabeth, looking for a caregiver for her sister Sarah (Jesse Seitz) who needs tying down before nightfall and is violently insane. Freaked when she meets her, Jenny runs to her car but is accosted by a strange man whose actions cause her to faint as Elizabeth approaches, all fangs, and rips his throat out (he seems to turn into an aged corpse when he dies). Jenny awakens in a basement as Elizabeth conducts a ritual to make her the ideal host for impregnation by the devil. Her memory is wiped but she has changed – extracting and eating Kevin’s eye when he threatens her.

meeting Iris

The police have a serial killer on their hands, though local professor Keller (Claude D. Miles) believes it is an occult case. Jenny goers to a diner and meets Iris (Mel Heflin, Queen Dracula Sucks Again), a mooch who ends up getting her away from Keller, who has spotted the blood painted sigil on her chest, and ends up in bed with her. But the devil is due to visit and gestation of a Hellspawn is hella quick…

Jenny eats an eye

At just under 70 minutes, this doesn’t outstay its welcome and there is plenty of full-throated screaming – especially from Angel Nichole Bradford. There is puppetry involved and plenty of low budget gore. This was probably the most enjoyable Farmer film I have watched – which doesn’t make it great, of course, it is still shot on a shoestring and has some really bad sfx (the bodies the police are investigating, for instance). Nevertheless, I’m giving this 3.5 out of 10 as, for some reason, it struck a chord even if the vampirism takes second fiddle.

At the time of writing there is no IMDb page.

Nundead – review

Director: Donald Farmer & ors.

Release date: 2023

Contains spoilers

This is an anthology film, as well as a nunsploitation, and the IMDb page lists a whole load of directors including schlock meister Donald Farmer. Given that the segment I’m reviewing this for was recycled into (I assume, though this could be the recycled piece) Farmer’s flick Debbie Does Demons then I assume he was responsible for the segment.

stake

After an opening with a medieval warrior carrying a pendant, running through woods and finished off in a stream by (revealed to be vampire) nuns, the segment begins with a couple undergoing (and truthfully, it does seem undergoing is the correct descriptor) couple’s therapy. The therapist is a dick, no two ways about it, but he has a plan. He is so horrible to his clients that they see the good in each other! Anyway, after the session a woman (the therapist's ex-wife, it would seem) comes in and there is no love lost between them. However, she says that their son is missing. He was convinced that vampires ran a brothel and went to investigate he has not come back.

got by the nuns

She takes his enthusiasm for wanting to find their son as a reaction to the word brothel… but it seems he is a vampire hunter, he puts on priest’s vestments, grabs a stake and a book – with the pendant from the opening – and off he pops to the brothel. The brothel is the Church of Hallowed Holes – which will be used in Debbie Does Demons, and all the footage as he goes in is also in the other film. The vampire leader awakes as the priest is shown round a variety of fetish orientated rooms and then they attack him (he being wholly ineffectual as a hunter) and lob him in a coffin.

demon  nun

He at least asked about his son, though he got no answer. Then a demonic nun appears and starts killing the vampire nuns and eventually gets him out of the coffin, becoming his ex-wife, who then gives him a hug and that’s the segment. No answer about the son, no real story and footage that will be reused. All in all, it’s a damp squib. There is another segment with a nun who claims to feed on life but the actual segment only really shows slasher tropes. So, the score is for the Hallowed Holes segment and it really doesn’t deserve any more than 2 out of 10 – it fails to hold a narrative, we don’t know what the deal is with the wife, the priest/husband is ineffectual and who knows what happened to his son.

Red Lips – review

Director: Donald Farmer

Release date: 1995

Contains spoilers

Hmmm… that probably sums this up best but I am sure you want a little more than that as a review!

Firstly, however, I must apologise for the crud screenshots but, just like I did, the only way you will get to see this film is through a (probably very tired) VHS Recording. The question is should you sit through the bad reproduction – short answer… no.

Oh, yeah, more than a one word review is required...

The film starts off with some lesbian sex, on the verge of not being softcore but still fairly tame. One of the two lifts her head from between her lover’s legs and her lips are red with blood… I should, I guess, mention the riff heavy guitar soundtrack that sounded, well amateurish if I am going to be honest.

Mandy Leigh as the doctor

Meet Caroline (Ghetty Chasun) she’s broke and selling blood but she only gets $15 dollars. The doctor (Mandy Leigh) – or she might have been a tree, rather than a doctor, I mean her acting was that wooden – offers her a hundred dollars to take part in a drug trial. She has come up with a serum that will eradicate illness, yes-siree-bob. Of course Caroline goes for it.

Having left the clinic she becomes wracked with pain and nausea. She falls to the floor and cuts her knee. She has the urge to taste the blood and the pain goes away. When she tells the doctor the next visit, she tells Caroline that it is perfectly normal and injects her with another dose.

fangs

This time her hunger leads her to attack a carpet salesman – but not after one of the worst acted moments, with a wannabe startlet convinced he is a movie producer, that I have had the misfortune to watch. Again back to the clinic but this time she feels the doctor up (who makes no attempt to resist) and kills her. Now… is this because of some hypnotic power… possibly… or perhaps in Donald Farmer’s world every woman is a potential nymphomaniac lesbian just waiting to jump the bones of any other nymphomaniac lesbian.

always hungry

Lisa (Michelle Bauer, Morgana and Tomb of the Werewolf) has just ditched her girlfriend Amy (Kitten Natividad) – who responds with some histrionic acting that would strip lead paint off wood – and bumps into Caroline. Caroline is weak with hunger and so she takes her to a coffee shop. Short story even shorter, Caroline goes into bathroom, finds another nymphomaniac lesbian, eats her and then goes clubbing with Lisa.

Lisa doesn’t seem to mind that Caroline tries it on with Gina (Jasmine Pona) as it gets them a place to crash and Gina even sleeps on the couch, whilst they get into some nudey rumpy pumpy. Middle of the night Caroline gets up, wanting a midnight snack, slips out of the bedroom and snacks on Gina. Lisa catches her.

bloody mouth

She then does what any self respecting woman, who had met a woman that day and seen her turn into a homicidal blood sucking freak, would do. She sends Caroline to bed, puts Gina’s body in the bath, dons a shower cap, cuts her up and puts the bits in the freezer! Yes, they are in love and the rest of the film is just Caroline finding feeds (mostly taking her top off to do it – if not more) until the film spins into its tragic ending that would be worthy of Shakespeare (should Shakespeare had been given a full frontal lobotomy before writing it).

Yes it is that bad… no redeeming features. 0 out of 10.

Vampire Cop – review

Director: Donald Farmer

Release date: 1990

Contains spoilers

We have looked at Donald Farmer’s films before; the risible Demon Queen, the painful Red Lips and the nonsensical Red Lips 2 . This falls, chronologically, between Demon Queen and Red Lips but its lineage doesn’t make one hopeful about this film.

The montage of images at the beginning didn’t help my confidence. This was shot straight to cam and words such as cinematography, lighting and editing all seemed to have been foreign concepts. So was musical taste as my ears were assaulted with the worst excesses of AOR. Images of a shadowy man, a woman in bed, a squad car they were all over the place with no sense of a cohesive thread.

bikini bar

Two men go down an alley and up some stairs. One of them will be revealed as Max Jagger – or maybe Geiger – as played by Terence Jenkins. Anyway later we discover that he is a German immigrant criminal but his accent was floating towards English with a touch of affected Boston. The other guy was his bodyguard Kurt. They go to a bar where a bunch of ladies are parading in bikinis. Two of the girls, Nikki and Danielle, go off with a patron.

shadowy man

Out in the city some guy pulls over and forces a girl called Tracy into his car. Meanwhile the two girls have gone off with the bar patron and have offered themselves for three hundred each. The man doesn’t get to have his jollies as Jagger comes in, chases him off, rebukes Danielle for running away, shoots her and gives Nikki to Kurt. He’s not a nice man. Tracy, meanwhile, is about to be raped but the shadowy man comes over and she sees, as she runs, him rip the hand off the rapist and then bite his neck.

bang bang

Jagger and Kurt are meeting a guy for a drugs deal. Outside a cop (Don Tilley) waits to pounce but his partner isn’t there. When he arrives we see it is the vampire, Lucas (Ed Cannon). They are too late, Jagger has made their man inside and shot him. They chase after him and it gets to a point where Lucas is facing down the villain's car. His partner is killed, he is shot and not only do bullets not kill him they don’t make holes in his T-Shirt! He kills Kurt but Jagger gets away.

hanging on the telephone

Anyhoo, a reporter Melanie (Melissa Moore) starts tracking down the vampire killer. She starts by breaking into Lucas' apartment and asking for an exclusive… really, and he wouldn’t: a) kill her seeing as he is a vampire or b) threaten to run her in as he is a cop? No, he says he won’t talk to her or go to lunch with her (what with it being daylight and all) but he will go to dinner with her! Jagger starts working out what Lucas is and it is all meaningless, ill plotted crap. Sorry but there is little else to call this.

cross fingers

The daylight rule applies in this film as does no reflection (not that we get that tested in a meaningful way). We don’t know about crosses, though one character crosses his fingers at one point! He drinks blood and a bite turns… sometimes. Kurt didn’t turn, neither did Nikki when he paid for her services (yes he is a bad cop who kills villains and drinks their blood and then picks up prostitutes), but two girls who are sent by Jagger to get him do turn. Go figure. He likes to sleep hung upside down but we only see his upper torso with those shots, so no clawed feet on display.

vampire cop

The acting is, across the board, rather poor but not all of it will be the actors' fault as the dialogue is rather poor as well. The effects aren’t that great – we can see him trying to keep his fangs in at times. Is there anything good to say about this? Yes. Next to Demon Queen it is appears cohesive – though that seems, in reality, to be an optical illusion!

1 out of 10. The imdb page is here.

Demon Queen – review

Director: Donald Farmer

Release date: 1986

Contains spoilers

This is one of the earlier camcorder, straight to VHS, rubbish vampire movies… ish… You see as well as having very little in the way of plot the so called demon queen of the title, Lucinda (Mary Farano), may not be a vampire – there is a touch of succubus, the title states demon and I was close to looking at this under ‘Vamp or Not?’

As it was I decided it probably should be straight to review and we start off with Lucinda and a man in a cheap hotel room. They kiss and then we cut to a post coital scene. Lucinda rips out his heart and then proceeds to rub it over her breasts before eating it. We can note that he says he was drawn to her but that really is close to the maximum of lore we get directly given in this.

Jesse (Dennis Stewart) is a drug dealer who is approached by the diminutive Izzie (Ric Foster), along with Izzie’s henchman Bone (Cliff Dance). Seems there was a deal gone bad and Jesse owes Izzie $6K. As he only has $23 on him Bone is told to teach him a lesson. Jesse is out cold when Lucinda appears, grabs Bone and rips his throat out. She is after a place to stay and Jesse, when he comes round, says that she can stay with him and his wired girlfriend Wendy (Patti Valliere).

Wendy isn’t happy and Jesse starts having strange dreams about Lucinda, seeing her cloaked, having her feed him blood from her breast and ripping his heart out. Seriously though the dream sequence goes on and on for around 1/8th of the films short running time. Then again there wasn’t any story really, so I guess it was a case of putting something in the film.

The film pads itself out by having attacks either by Lucinda or by the zombies that her victims seem to turn into. Some of the zombies shamble and others can actually still talk, so if they are actually meant to be zombies, well I wasn’t 100% sure. They further stretch out the film by having scenes in a video store that were perhaps meant to be deconstructionist but were in fact badly acted and boring.

Lucinda ends up killing Wendy for Jesse but the film has made the cardinal mistakes of not really having a plot and, worse, not having a motivation for anything the characters do. Why does Lucinda kill Wendy for Jesse? Who knows but, worse, who actually cares? However she then reveals her true face to him (really bad effects time) and he runs off.

She then meets her sticky end by being attacked by one of her own created zombies, who is now fairly rotten and, I think, was meant to be Bone. With just enough time for a none-shocking shock at the end we have got through the ordeal that is the film. Seriously though, it really is bad, not worth seeking out, not even as a bad movie. 0.5 out of 10, with the slight amount of a mark for the fact that some of the blood effects are better than they should be.

Vamp or Not? Shark Exorcist

This is a 2015 by the infamous Donald Farmer, who has made a noticeable impact in my Worst 100 Vampire Films. This too, if found to be a vampire film, would end up there.

However, before we examine whether this has a vampire aspect to it, or not, you might be wondering how some of these films end up being looked at by me. In this case author Doug Lamoreux posted about it in the Facebook group Vampire Films, my friend Paul tagged me; Hell, even author Nancy Kilpatrick got involved! I found the film for pence (more than its worth to be fair) and that has led us to the TMtV investigation of the film, which you are reading now.

the shark

So, the film begins with nun Sister Blair (Christy Moritz) – named I guess for Linda Blair – walking through a graveyard. We hear about her being hunted by the authorities for the torture and deaths of 13 children. She gets to the water’s edge (go with it) and starts ranting about the world betraying her and wanting vengeance through Satan (whom she is invoking through the rant). A girl comes up to her calling her a bitch and is stabbed for her trouble (and ends up covered with an inordinate amount of blood for the single stab) and then rolled into the waters; a sacrifice – we see a blazing eye shark.

more blood smear than bite

Cut forward a year and Emily (Channing Dodson), Ali (Angela Kerecz, the Vampire Diaries) and Lauren (Madison Carney) and are going to a lake – though moaning Lauren assumed it was a water park. Lauren and Emily work on their tans as Ali phones Bobby (Michael Ollin Lotten) and gets his voicemail. She goes for a swim and suddenly she is attacked (note that nowhere is it stated that this is a salt water lake, the concept of a great white being in a lake, full stop, isn’t tackled until 38 minutes in – and then barely, and the shark is able to attack in shallows without the viewer or character spotting it, indeed we don’t see a single dorsal stuck out of the water). Lauren finds her and pulls her out of the water. Ali has blood at her mouth and the most unconvincing leg wound (yes she still has her leg).

Emily and Ali

After a stock footage scene of a hospital and the information that Ali's injury is the result of one of several shark attacks in the area, we go to Lauren and Emily talking – Emily having visited Ali at the hospital and discovered that her leg has miraculously healed. Emily realises that Lauren has something going on with Bobby – well that’s gonna come back and bite someone – and we realise that the disinterested performance by Madison Carney is some of the worst acting we have seen. As the film moves on Emily becomes more and more worried about Ali’s odd behaviour and obsession with water.

possessed by the spirit of the lake

There are odd moments in film – more filler than thriller – such as the filming of “Ghost Whackers” where anchor Nancy Chase (Roni Jonah) claims to be possessed by the “spirit of the lake” and then rival sceptic Brianna Bennett (Kirstin Vanhooser) tries to expose her. The entire three-part act is virtually pointless (though it did make me discover the series Hicky the Hillbilly Vampire, which both Jonah and Vanhooser were in and that will feature here in the future) bar one line that suggests the shark eats flesh and devours souls. Then there was an exorcism moment, perhaps a memory of the priest of the film Father Michael (Bobby Kerecz), although it seemed to have nothing to do with him. Even Ali’s attacks make little sense story wise – she lures one guy (Father Michael’s brother?) – and dunks under water – did she turn into the shark or just lure him there? We don’t know, but later there is an attack in a pool and that really should have been mentioned as a logic-less attack by authorities (given it was a pool).

sharp teeth

Staying with the story proper, however, Father Michael is called to say his brother has died and heads to the town, where he finds Emily and they go off to a fair. Lauren and Bobby are there but have a disagreement, leaving Bobby on his own. Ali is hunting him and displays sharp teeth. In what might be, in another film, a telling moment, we see vampires on the side of the fair’s haunted attraction. In this, however, maybe not so much. When she bites Bobby, however, it is a neck bite. She is then captured and taken to be exorcised. Of course, the cross plays a part in this, as you would expect, but the exorcism itself is probably the dampest squib of an exorcism on screen. Props, however, for the line about needing “a bigger cross” (even a film as bad as this can have a redeeming feature).

funfair vampire picture

So, is it Vamp? Well she has sharp teeth and the possession was passed by a bite. We have to assume that the healing of her leg was down to the demonic presence (or the fact that there wasn’t a blooming mark to heal!) There is no evidence that she predates for blood but there is flimsy evidence that the shark itself devours souls – though no conclusive evidence that she and the shark are one and the same. However, the reference to soul eating is just one throwaway line and I am not at all tempted to say 'yes, this is vamp'. Perhaps I am reacting to how shockingly bad the film is – does the genre need another bad film in its filmography? Note that it is only around 60 minutes (some of its reported 71 minutes being a mind numbing post-credit sequence of a girl at a SeaWorld type centre – I assume – playing with plush toy sharks until she has a demonic moment. Probably the best part of the film was its DVD cover art – and that isn’t reflective of the film. NOT VAMP.

Honourable Mentions: Debbie Does Demons

Ah, Donald Farmer, director of many a poor film… this is his 2023 opus and, whilst rubbish, it is so knowingly so that one almost can take it as a self-styled meme and appreciate it for that. The primary reason for having the mention is that the central antagonist is named Carmilla Karnstein (Jessa Flux) – the name obviously coming from Carmilla and her look owing a tad to Franco’s Female Vampire - though in this she is a witch.

The opening credits actually seem quite well shot, a low tracking through a graveyard that has a feel of film of a more 60s/70s pedigree (and added pops and scratches). The cuts to shenanigans with rubber demons probably breaks that a bit but this is a rule of thumb for the movie – all the demons look blooming awful.

Carmilla grabs an innocent

We get some detail about the witch Carmilla, from the witch herself, and then we are in the show Debbie Does Demons (named, of course, for one of the most famous of adult movies). Debbie (Angel Nichole Bradford) is the host of a horror show and the next scene would seem to be presented on the show (except that the Carmilla character is played by Flux and thus it might also be a flashback). If the former then we can forgive the fact that the nun and monk outfits are clearly cheap end Halloween costumes of modern material and, as well as a cape, Carmilla wears some very modern briefs (and nothing else), this also allows a forgiveness of the very shaky camerawork (as the show is on the cheap) if the latter, then it’s poor.

the possessed monk

Anyway, Carmilla has grabbed a woman in period dress and is promising to use her virgin blood in a rite that will allow her mother, killed by witchfinders, to possess the innocent's body and finish the work of bringing Hell on Earth. Her plan is foiled when grabbed by a monk – who is a witchfinder – and a couple of nuns. However, she then decides to pass her spirit (mouth to mouth) into the witchfinder, who subsequently spits blood onto a nun and is now Carmilla… the story ends, Debbie ends her show.

the friends

Four friends Lauren (Morrigan Thompson), Jan (Dixie Gers), Ashley (Roni Jonah) and Adam (Adam Freeman) are watching the show (bad scripting later makes incorrect names be used – Ashley is called Angela at one point – and things be forgotten, such as Lauren forgetting that the Debbie Does Demon show exists after making her friends watch it). Lauren knew the episode was about Carmilla, announces she is a descendant thereof and suggest contacting the witch through a ouija board. As soon as it works Adam and Ashley leg it to their rooms upstairs and Lauren has a seizure. Jan runs to her room and is first to meet Carmilla who manifests in the shower, as you do, because… boobs (though they are out through 95% of her screen time anyway).

attack of the vampire nuns

So, Carmilla turns Jan and Adam into demons (who actually just look a bit like really low budget zombies whose makeup comprises of blood round the mouth) and Lauren has to find a way of unsummoning the witch. But, whilst I have mentioned this because of the use of Carmilla's name, there are two scenes to mention that are part of the Debbie Does Demon show. The first is linked as a piece on a haunted mansion, but instead we see a priest with a stake go to a building, be let in by nuns who are more in fetish dress than holy vestments – and they call the place the Church of Hallowed Holes. We see a woman (presumably vampire) get out a coffin and the priest attacked by nuns (who were previously licking blood from a naked nun) and consequently put in the coffin. It’s definitely a vampire scene with no narrative to speak of.

the succubus

At the end of the film, we see another part of Debbie’s show that has adult film maker/star Newt Wallen (Les Price) go with a crew to a burnt out building where his father had tried to summon a demon to have sex with and the place had burnt down. Newt is going to try and summon the demon, a succubus (Roxie Rose), for the same reason. She appears and then bites his bits off as the woman with him shows fangs. All in all, the two scenes are just fleeting visitations. The film itself is rubbish, but so knowingly rubbish it was actually not as bad as it should have been.

Red Lips II: Bloodlust – review

Director: Donald Farmer

Release date: 1996

Contains spoilers

So, a year after Red Lips we get Red Lips 2: Bloodlust. It is a little difficult to tell who a lot of the cast are – apologies for that – as character names aren’t given for most and then those that are they are different or unlisted on imdb! Don’t try to use the credits, they are just as bad. The Credits do suggest that this is in memory of Maria Oritz, who died in 2000 – presumably this was added to the DVD.

in the bar

Anyway, after some opening scenes of lesbians with a vampiric projection upon them, we see Holly (Debbie Rochon, Skeleton Key, Vampyre Tales, A Feast of Flesh and Rage of the Werewolf) walk into a bar and then a girl starts talking to her. Now, we never hear her name but given she is Maria Oritz, and is credited as Caroline we should assume the character from the first film – or maybe not. Anyhoo Holly mentions having just seen a vampire movie and Caroline starts blathering on about wanting to be one and dreaming of it etc and so on.

Jenny Wallace as Melinda

The film then cuts to Melinda (Jenny Wallace, Vamps: Deadly Dreamgirls) – though IMDb suggest the character is called Jenny – who is sat with a guy called Ewen (I think and I have absolutely no idea who played him). They are a couple of thieves ready to rob a nightclub, which incidentally is the most unconvincing club set I think I have seen in a film. She has to distract the owner (Rick Martin) while he gets the cash. She needs a fix first.

She goes to the toilet with a single open-plan cubicle and a blonde woman comes in and offers her addictions far beyond drugs. And the blonde is called... Okay, right towards the end her name is given as Caroline – just to confuse matters. An imdb commentator thought she was Natasha – I suspect not, I suspect that Natasha is another character altogether. Thus I think she is Caroline played by Kashmere but I stand to be corrected.

Caroline the blonde with Melinda

Anyhoo, Melinda gets the manager to go into the ladies and Caroline eats him. What has this to do with Caroline the brunette (we will refer to them by hair colour to prevent further confusion) who is in the bar with Holly? I really don’t know. Perhaps it is a retelling of her dreams or perhaps it is just unrelated bunkum. The film keeps cutting back to Holly and Caroline the brunette but their dialogue doesn’t quite fit with the footage we watch. Melinda and Ewen go to a room and have sex until Caroline the blonde appears at a window and Melinda casually knocks his noggin with a beer bottle and pledges allegiance to Caroline the blonde.

in the graveyard

Anyway, Melinda and Caroline the blonde become lovers and Ewen follows them round the city. This becomes resolved, somehow, when they enter a graveyard during the day and the screen is washed with an odd effect. Eventually Caroline the blonde approaches Ewen and kisses him. Does she then attack? The film doesn’t show or tell; she simply walks on with Melinda in the next shot.

projections

They get to a flat and when Melinda asks how long Caroline the blonde has been a vampire she refuses to tell. Their conversation leads to a lesbian rub-down whilst vampiric images are projected over their flesh. I think one film involved may have been a Christopher Lee Dracula (not 100% sure regarding that) but some images were recognisably from the Vampire Lovers - I wonder if royalties were paid?

Anyway, Melinda begs to be a vampire, Caroline the blonde turns her and they go to a cinema for a hunt and this forces us to watch 15 minutes (or at least it felt like that) of a movie within the movie within the movie – some thing about Russian spies and a patient zero causing people to die in seconds by touch. Absolutely no connection to the film and rather pants. Melinda and Caroline the blonde feed on a patron and that’s the last we see of them.

attack

As for Caroline the brunette, given Holly hasn’t run off she seems to be offering a quick bite in the bathroom. Will she attack and will Holly survive? By this point you won’t give a fudge, although the accompanying screenshot will give at least one part of those questions away. Now, I will say that this is better acted than the first film – strange that, after all it couldn’t get worse.

Absolute nonsense. 1 out of 10. The imdb page is here.

Extra Bit – Red Lips: Eat the Living

There is a third film in the ‘series’ – and I do use the term loosely. Red Lips: Eat the Living is a collection of four shorts – dated to 2005 – that are actually all zombie flicks, more or less. Okay they are called Ghouls in one (which is exactly what Romero called zombies in Night of the Living Dead). One of the stories involves a prophetic video tape and one has a more or less normal looking gal who lures drivers in by posing as a hitchhiker, before her zombie family eat the victims. They act fairly much around Romero standard but can speak.

So why mention it here. Well you see the wraparound is vampire… its just… well it is the same wraparound that we saw in Bloodlust – with Maria Oritz (whose character’s name is changed to Daphne according to IMDb) and Debbie Rochon (whose character’s name changes to Debbie, again according to IMDb). Absolute filmic self-cannibalism – though given the subject matter of the shorts that almost seems apt.
