Starts out fairly decent, first 30 minutes is more of a comedy than anything else.The quickly changes after that though and turns into something more in the horror territory.And that's also where the movie starts falling apart.In some aspects it works, it did have a good set-up and a decent enough cast, plus the cinematography was pretty cool and decent atmosphere but it's just the incredibly contrived writing that gets in the way. I'd rather have no reasoning than what we are given and there so many logical loopholes in the characters motives and reactions that you can go hula-hooping with them.

How on Earth is this a solid effort? Seriously now, I love horror in its many forms but Bloodwork is cheap and acts the same too. The subject is overly used, the actors are OK, the logic in the film is missing, no scares, no tension, just a lot of mediocre moments that lead to a very weak ending.Bloodwork is a combination of things you've seen a thousand times, trust me, a little bit of The Facility, Insanitarium and so many like those 2 that I'm just gonna stop here. If you are new into horror, maybe this will seem like an interesting thing to watch one lonely, rainy night, but for anyone else, either familiar or just looking for a good scare, it will present itself as a very big disappointment. I was seriously surprised as how bad it was, I waited and waited and at a certain point I did realize that this is all it has to offer.Therefore I recommend you look elsewhere, no point into watching something that was made long before, not even at the same quality. Bloodwork is a ripoff that failed badly, showed some potential here and there but it didn't work out well. So sad I got fooled by all those positive reviews and quite a good rating too. Well, you live and learn. Cheers!

From the get go this movie could be either good or bad, I couldn't prevent which way it would go. Sadly it turned out to be the bad way. First, actors don't fit in their roles-- two athletic guys going to a two weeks confinement for testing an unknown drug? The main doctor, a young and beautiful girl, plays the mad scientist, which obviously doesn't fit as well. This main plot has been used plenty of times, but I believed this one could bring something new. Instead, it used some clichés, and suddenly, by 20 or 30 minutes of movie, the drug testers all became acting like pigs and addicted to the substance. Surely we all knew from the beginning it would a big conspiracy from the drug makers, but we hoped it could possibly go in a different way. I assume that after the first hour I could barely pay any attention to this, but I tried my best to try to like it. Bad movie anyways.

It's an interesting idea. Some people take part in a drug trial in a creepy industrial kind of building cum hospital. Of course the drug causes all manner of side effects which end up with people snout deep in gore. In the hands of a decent writer and a bunch of decent actors it might have actually worked. Sadly it has neither so it didn't.Travis Van Winkle, who is probably a relative of Rip, provides some light relief as 'Greg' but the cast are pretty dull and boring. Even the one playing 'Johnny Depp' playing 'Captain Jack Sparrow' could not drag it above the level of DVD bargain bin '3 for £5' tripe. It does have the odd moment that could have ended up interesting but again didn't manage to capitalise on that.The horror stuff was the usual zombie flesh eater type of thing minus the zombies or 'Walkers' as I believe zombies are now known in the USA.Eric Roberts appears for no reason other than the DVD cover can claim to star Eric Roberts. Why? Probably because he had a gas bill to pay or something. The ending was laughable as Eric and his 'less than' elite team come in to clean up the mess and fail miserably enabling the utterly terrifying possibility of a Bloodwork #2 likely starring Eric Roberts.It is beyond me how these awful films even manage to make back their few thousand bucks budget but the DVD racks are full of this kind of useless waste of 90 minutes garbage. Maybe it's because the gullible film audience falls for it every time. I am embarrassed to admit I did once again.
