This movie is awful. It pained me to watch it. Every actor, director, producer and anyone with even the smallest role in any aspect of this film should be barred from the genre indefinitely. This film is so bad there aren't strong enough words in the English language apt to describe. I'll just spit on the ground instead.Your movie is awful and you should feel bad. Scrappy Doo is a better experience. I would rather rip my arm off and f@@@ myself with my dead limb than get anywhere near it again. I would rather eat glass than see any of these actors ever again. I would rather jump in a river full of piranna than meet the director.
... View MoreErm... OK.... So this is a... C movie, D movie. Let's be honest, this movie isn't that great and feels like a porno gone wrong most of the time.The idea's nothing new, the script isn't terribly strong, and the acting is quite lame at points. It looks amateur, it feels amateur, and any sense of horror or suspense just seem to get lost along the way.On the upside however (certainly for the male audience), most of the female cast end up in various states of undress or show 'things' and *spoiler* everybody dies. Still, when you stagger in at 3am, completely drunk, this movie will do quite nicely and it isn't too unbearable when your sober.
... View MoreIn 1983, the aviator Hank (John Christian) kills three sailors in a military airbase while wearing a voodoo talisman that he found in a mission in Granada. He hides the object in an electrical box and twenty-two years later, he is released from the asylum where he had been hosted considered mentally sane again. Meanwhile, the former base is transformed in an aviation museum owned by the idealistic Harry (Billy Drago), who is facing financial difficulties to keep the establishment working and problems with his partner and brother. When one of the workers finds the weird hidden artifact, she gives it to Harry. In the end of the working day, the group of co-workers decides to meet each other after 10:00 PM for a séance followed by sex, gamble and beer. When two couples vanish, the others decide to seek them and find them killed. Sooner they meet Hank that tells the survivors that the talisman unleashes a fiend that possesses the person that is wearing the necklace, forcing the owner to kill people with sadism. The group joins forces trying to find a way out of the museum while Hank chases the killer."Blood Relic" is an average slasher low-budget movie, with all the common clichés of the genre including many breasts, exits closed, silly lines and stupid decisions. However, most of the deaths are original and there is a great twist in the end when the identity of the real killer is disclosed (I confess that it was a good surprise for me and totally unpredictable). The acting is not as bad as indicated in some reviews, in spite of the exaggeration of Billy Drago and the incoherent and frantic attitudes of Joshua Park. In the end, as a fan of the genre, I had fun with this movie. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Maldição Voodoo" ("Voodoo Curse")
... View MoreA cast of mostly anonymous teenagers hired to clean a aerospace museum experience bloody mayhem after one of them finds an occult talisman. This film is strongly adequate in most categories. The photography is professional. The direction is reasonably assured. The cast isn't too embarrassing, and generally all of the girls show some flesh. The aerospace museum location adds production value even though most of the mayhem happens in a more generic warehouse. The gore is adequate though the make-up generally plays out in the aftermath of the attacks rather than in the violence itself. So what's the problem? It's just tired. Young, good-looking people being killed off one-by-one by a masked assailant. Been there, seen that. I needed an extra hook, and there wasn't one. The potential of an interesting "monster" was wasted. The talisman is a wasted device. It seems turns the wearer into a homicidal maniac. The characters are always simply running from the unknown human carrier than battling the demonic entity pulling the strings. It would have been more interesting if the filmmakers had taken the time to develop force behind talisman better, and let the characters try to figure a way to take it on directly. Not terrible, when you consider the low standards of the genre, but there are better films out there.
