Audience Member In Tecate, Mexico, an American tourist/treasure hunter uncovers a thirty-five year-old secret in Luis Diego (Justin Quinn); a secret which had Luis buried because of his curse. Now free, Luis wants revenge on the people who put him in his tomb, starting with his lost love in Sarita (Yvonne Rawn). The only way for Luis to get back at Sarita is to go after the one's she loves, which comes in the form of her niece Maricela (Brenda Romero). Maricela is on vacation with two of her friends and visits her aunt after she suffers a stroke on her visit from Luis. It's at this time, Luis takes it upon himself to recover his humanity while battling his primal urge to feed. He believes Maricela is the key to bringing him out of his coverof darkness. <i>Desert Of Blood</i> had a good storyline, but it was weighed down by amatuerish performances by it's cast. The film felt like one big soap-opera on a Mexican television station. On those stations, we're subjected to horrible acting, but some rather gorgeous faces to grace the screen. This film has no shortage of sexy females and is it's only driving force in the film. If the director developed it's characters a little more and concentrated on how they were presented, <i>Desert Of Blood</i> would have been more digestable. The characters tried their hand in wit and sarcasm when given the opportunity, but it came off a little stale. On top of that, the gore was hardly present and the film focused more on the character Luis trying to regain his humanity. The characters that were supposed to appear menacing weren't, so the film overwhelmed it's audience with it's shoddy acting instead. So in conclusion, the film was only made to take in it's sights, which so happens to be the beautiful females on the set. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member I can not give a full review because I could not make myself watch this whole disaster of a movie. I suffered through the first 15 minutes of this Mexican vampire flick and then fast-forwarded through the rest to see if it would improve. It did not. This is an obviously low-budget film with bad acting and a weak plot. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Clearly shows its direct-to-DVD roots in its gory elements, weak special effects, and T&A exploitation aspects, yet these are all on offer in relatively small doses. What is far more striking is a quite original take on the vampire genre, a decent screenplay, and some quite respectable acting. I was expecting a low budget gorefest and instead saw quite a good, intelligent horror film with a contemporary Southwestern setting. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Wow! How do you get funding to make a movie this bad? The only magic in this movie is the Mexican characters' stunning and inexplicable ability speak English in a California dialect. They must've run for the border, and back, more than once. The only reason this movie gets even one star is the surprising number of bounding boobage. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member B rate mexican vampire movie, and the acting is horrible, but I watched because I actually thought it might get better. It didn't. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Bad acting, lame plot. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
