Blood Angels

Customer Review: Rent it first.
If you can find it cheap buy it, if not rent it first. If there is one thing I do it is not to lie about movies that I leave a review for. I bought this for one reason and one reason alone Crystal Lowe. I got it cheap so I wasn’t too upset with her lack of screen time. Look it’s a cheap vampire movie with so so special effects. The girls are ok to look at and thats about it. Enjoy or not……..
Customer Review: A Misrecorded DVD Of A Fun Movie
If you have any thoughts of buying this DVD I want to give you fair warning that it is improperly recorded. In a pathetic attempt to conceal the fact that `Blood Angels’ AKA `Thralls’ never played in theaters, the picture aspect ratio is artificially widened!!! Hence, the film in letter boxed and stretched so the ratio is 125% wider than natural!!! Unless you can manually adjust the aspect ration on your TV or PC this DVD may be UNWATCHABLE.

Such a shame since `Blood Angels’ is a guilty pleasure. The plot is thin but the concept is fascinating.

Vampire Master Lorenzo Lamas holds starlet wannabes hostage in his mansion turning them into “thralls” half vampires. The girls rebel and are able to escape with the valuable Necronomicon. (So that’s what happened to the Necronomicon, it’s been in Lorenzo Lamas’ attic.) The thralls open a Hollywood nightclub where male guests get sucked in more way than one. They’re not complaining. The thralls study the Necronomicon in hope of becoming full blooded vampires.

Why it works: Anime actor Richard Ian Cox best known as playing Inuyasha totally steals the show by hamming it up as Lamas’ vampire familiar. The opening scene is worth it all. As Cox returns to the darkened mansion, he enters the attic and is blinded by white light. The entire attic is bright white including the thralls’ wedding gown clothing and Cox’s three piece suit. The thralls are chained together in the center of the room. Cox says, “Hello ladies. Miss me? I brought you dinner.” (or words to that effect) He removes a bloody rat from a brown paper bag. The thralls drool hungrily at it. “It’s fresh.” As he drops it on the floor it is still twitching. Cox looks concerned as one of the girls Roxie is absent. “Roooxiiieee?” he calls as to a kitten. He follows her chain behind a curtain and finds it attached to a severed foot.
