Some interesting visuals, but largely cringy and inept otherwise and not in an entertaining way. Disappointing as I had kickstarted this way back in the day.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Pretentious AF, but at least it looked kinda good (the visual but the SFX itself looked like a cinematic from a game like Warcraft III)

this should not be divided into 3 parts, and the credits are way too long, so it felt that they wanted to pad out the length like a lot of recent marvel stuff has done. the CGI is absolutely amazing, but it does kind of stop being so riveting once we have seen the same ships a few times. i think this was great, absolutely worth watching, but is a little too brief for thorough character development.

Flick Feast

A neon-soaked, synth-fuelled slice of science fiction... The striking aesthetic is complimented perfectly by some impressive visual effects and Carpenter Brut’s pulsating score which brings the film to life.

Rated: 4/5

Flickering Myth

Blood Machines is an utterly immersive, visually striking love letter to 80's sci-fi and horror films and what it lacks in narrative coherence it will certainly make up for through its acid trip imagery.

Exclaim!

No one could ever accuse [Seth] Ickerman and [Carpenter] Brut of being half-hearted in their homage to retro sci-fi B movies; whether or not that's a good thing will depend entirely on the viewer's appetite for corny genre exercises.

Rated: 5/10

It's one of those rare genuinely impressive films that you have to just experience. [Full Review in Spanish]

The Lens

None of it makes much sense, but Ickerman is infinitely less interested in narrative coherence than in the psychedelic visuals and throbbing techno score.

Rated: C+

Bloody Disgusting

A stunning work of art that loudly and colorfully marks the arrival of a new visionary in Seth Ickerman.
