Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Wow, OK. I've been watching low-budget Horror for way too long. I suppose I've seen all the good ones. And I guess I've also seen all the not-so good ones. Yet there seems to be a bottom-less pit of terrible Z-grade flicks, just waiting to be discovered by those who are perhaps tired of Troma and H.G. Lewis. B-movies officially went from "bad" to "terrible" when people started thinking it was OK to use a video camera, and for the record, it was never OK!! But they did it anyway. And so, B officially becomes Z, and for the most part, the indie Horror director threw all pride out the window. Especially considering the one I saw, recently... Wait a minute. What movie are we talking about again? Oh yeah, that's right. A film that is apart of the S.O.V. revolution of the mid-80's, yet somehow manages to be overrated as all hell, while all the rest are considered to be nothing. Why have I read so many positive things about Blood Cult? Do people just get a kick out of getting online and lying about random movies, just so unsuspecting schlock-collecting fools pay their hard-earned money for garbage? That's just sick. I've seen more than my share of cam-corder epics from this era (Blood Lake), and none, and I mean none of them can compare to this big box of Melatonin. Explaining the premise would be pointless, because chances are good that you'd just get bored and stop reading, and then probably go read about something awesome like Killing Spree. Besides, I don't even know, nor do I care what happened. So, anyway, what is it about Blood Cult that would not make someone hate it? Why is it more appreciated, and well-known than its counterparts, such as Cannibal Campout? That movie is awful. I mean really, really awful. Yet, I wasn't bored, and I sure as hell didn't fall sleep. I'll just say it. I thought Cannibal Campout was awesome. Yet, there isn't one single moment of entertainment-value to be found in the steaming pile of boredom that is Blood Cult. I didn't chuckle. I didn't smile once. Not even a smirk. And when it was all over, I couldn't recall one word uttered. I really was expecting, and looking forward something worthwhile, but I can honestly say that watching Blood Cult was the single most dull experience of my life. So, when I make outrageous claims, such as "You'd be better off watching Blood Lake", you would be wise to listen. I hate you, Blood Cult. 1/10

The makers of this feature strived for the pure art form. If horror was one of the great forms of drama in Shakespeare's time, it would have been Blood Cult! This was what we toiled to achieve. As one of the participants of this fine piece of... piece of work, I must attest to the level of commitment, the craftsmanship, the honed sense of dedication by each and every one of us. If our baby would have been distributed in theaters, we certainly would've been nominated for a few Oscars... wouldn't we have? Don't all of you think that we.. that we would ... have gotten nomin...Does this mean you guys didn't... you didn't like it? How could this possibly be!? But we made a sequel. Didn't that mean it was great? Oh well. Sometimes being bad feels REALLY good! ;)

Let me see...I've seen every film Lou Ferrigno has made. I've seen Batman & Robin...twice. I've memorized the dances in Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo...I've watched unfinished Blade Runner rip-off student films...yet this film is the most painful thing I've ever seen.This was the first movie for the "straight to video market." So you can thank Blood Cult for all of those mysterious Michael Dudikoff films at your local Blockbuster. You should know that this isn't even high quality video. This is consumer grade. This is you father's video camera he never uses. This is what you have to look at for 90 minutes.I won't bore you with plot details since I'm getting sleepy just thinking about it, but I will tell you that watching this movie is a form of torture. I only watch this movie when I am angry at myself. So I recommend this film if you are suicidal, or if you are up for a mighty challenge.If you happen to rent this film (God have mercy) you will know what you are in for from the first 10 minutes. This is when you are hit by the usual horror film intro. You know the drill. There's a lot of suspense and build up before some girl dies. Yes, you've seen it before, but not like this. This is the most boring intro I've ever seen. I honestly believe that you could get a camera off ebay for ten dollars, grab the bum that most smells like gin and candy, and tell him to film your mom cooking dinner and it would be more interesting than this intro. It bored me to tears. I cried like a baby.Another one of the things that makes this film so unbelievably painful is its actors. Yes, I've seen bad acting. TRUST ME. I've seen 4th grade productions of Oliver Twist with more realistic dialog. The lead actor makes me ill. The "supporting" actress is a train-wreck of a human.I will not even comment on the boyfriend. True horror.So, rent this movie if you can find it. You'll never be more depressed that you spent 3 dollars on anything else.

What can I say? This was hands-down the worst movie I have ever seen in my life (and believe me, some of my favorite movies are admittedly horrible). The acting was amateurish, the sets were boring, and the camerawork was shoddy and sophomoric. This whole movie seemed like a college final project. I had to keep convincing myself that it was done by a teenager to make it seem somewhat good. The most disturbing factor of the "film" is that it's not even film at all-- it 's shot on video. That was extremely distracting. On top of all that, the dialogue is simply disastrous and the plot line is so basic it makes my eyes water. Not to mention they steal from at least four other horror movies in the first 20 minutes or so. If there were such a thing as zero stars, this movie would get it.The only thing scary about this movie is how bad it is.
