Audience Member A vampire chick flick with some chanbara. It's far too drama-heavy to be of much interest to action or horror fans. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review don s This is an artsy vampire movie. The stark color contrasts and the lighting lend it an air of sophistication that the story just doesn't live up to. The story is a basic feud between two vampires, formerly lovers, and a thirst to be free of that cumbersome life. A detective of cold cases gets caught in the middle. The blood effects are well done, and there is quite a bit of nudity - more than I've seen in many Asian movies. The acting is merely okay. Overall, it is an average movie. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Blood is a Japanese erotic horror film with a unique vision. The story follows a police detective that gets caught up in a feud between two former vampire lovers. The visual style of the film is quite exceptional, and carries an interesting Gothic and surreal motif. However, the script is rather poor and the acting doesn't do anything to help. While Blood has an interesting take on vampirism, it doesn't have a story to go with it. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member It was pretty good cool sword fights Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Very MEH mix of a vampire love triangle and wire-fu. Aya Sugimoto in her various states of undress kept me watching to the end. Nothing special at all. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Detective Hoshino visits the mansion of Miyako Rozmberk in order to investigate the murder of her former maid. She blames the murder on a man named Ukyo Kuronuma, whom Hoshino catches in the act of biting a young girl?s neck as she begs for her life. Ukyo was once known as Okita, a swordsman from the Edo period who was turned into a vampire by Miyako. Hoshino soon finds himself turned into a vampire as well, and ends up in a battle with Ukyo for the right to spend eternity with the irresistible Miyako. This flick directed by Shimoyama Ten of "Shinobi" fame harks back to the erotic Hammer vampire movies of yesteryear. The storyline is predictable with characters you really don't care about apart from Miyako's deaf female assistant Brigitte. The male villain Ukyo seems to go into 'emo' mode too much - spouting how unfair it is to spend eternity as a vampire. Fans of Aya Sugimoto will of course love her in this movie as she seems to spend a lot of it without any clothes!!! There are some good points to this movie - 1980s style blue lighting and fog plus a gothic atmosphere. The gore on show is pretty good too. Ultimately though Blood is rather disappointing but it's a nice change to see an Asian vampire movie done differently.
