Truly Dreadful Film

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

There are some nice vampire gore scenes and definitely some major T&A on display in this direct-to-video production. Annika Svedman gave us a great show before she became a vampiress, but I sure wanted to see what Tori White had to offer.There is even a lick-the-salt, drink-the-blood, and eat-the-lemon scene that was cute. Who needs tequila? It may be an B-indie, but there are lots of gorgeous characters, both male and female. The story is really interesting - a young vampire (Justin Quinn) buried for 35 years, and awoken by a treasure hunter, falls for the niece (Brenda Romero) of his former love (Yvonne Rawn).If Don Henry has anymore ideas like this, I will look forward to seeing them.

As a b-movie title, Desert of Blood is not a bad. The title implies both camp and spoof, staples of typical b-movies. But despite the fact that this movie delivers a home-baked hamfest, it misses the camp and spoof grade, because it appears to have taken itself too seriously. There is nothing here to laugh at, except, perhaps, the special effects which includes economy tooth caps ($5.50) and digestible blood capsules (6 for $3)probably from nightmarefactory.com. DesertBloo is more appropriate as a title. The movie appears to be a high school project financed by weekly allowances and staffed by the school photo club. Whoever put this together also coaxed four cheerleaders (and their tios and tias) into the mix.

Totally unconvincing, pathetic acting - daytime soap opera standard or worse. Did they hire actors or just invite a few people off the street? "Diego" delivered his immortal lines (pun intended) with all the passion of a Macfood drone - you want fries with that blood? You don't expect a great plot in these things but the basic idea actually wasn't too bad. A competent director and cast could have done a lot with the "buried for 35 years and now he's back" scenario. Changes in culture, the idea that he isn't totally evil - or doesn't want to be. It could have been better than average instead of a world-class stinker. At least they followed the horror movie convention that any woman who whips her top off is dead meat - or undead as the case may be. Thank heavens it was $1 Tuesday at the Video-Ezy but what I really want is to get that ninety-something minutes of my life back.

this film is a total waste of time. first of all the story is totally uninspired. it's like put together from a few random vampire books and contains absolutely no surprises or suspense or what you might else expect from a vampire story. well OK there is a simple romance thing but that too is not very well executed imho. the characters are also not even two dimensional, but simple and boring like a line in the dust. that said, the acting is as bad as the script. it feels like quite bad soap opera style acting. the only excuse for the actors is imho that it might be really hard to deliver a good performance with such a lousy script.finally there is not even close enough blood and stuff to provide even a little fun in a kind of old school splatter b movie style.
