ronringhoffer I first received an uncut Australian VHS tape of this when it was first released. The movie was really cool but the extras on the tape are what put this movie is the MUST WATCH category. The extras were fantastic. This movie has one of the best trailers you will ever see on a low budget horror film. The film has lots of energy and is nonstop action and horror.The basic plot has the main 3 actors wreaking havoc on everyone they cross paths with. The 3 main actors are vampires, 1 man & 2 women. The man is pretty cool and the 2 girls are great. One of the girls is a busty sexy blond and very voluptuous. The movie has a little of everything in it, including some crime action scenes inspired from Hong Kong movies. The characters in the movie are fun. It seems that the actors in the movie had fun making the movie. There is lots of gore for the gore fans. I found the soundtrack was excellent for the movie and it had lots of energy to it.If you are able to track this down, try and find it with the extras. The extras include an awesome trailer, interviews (really funny), and trial footage with the lead voluptuous blonde actress with dark hair. This movie also stars an actor by the name of Crawdaddy playing a bad cop. I would definitely recommend this to fans of low budget horror. The directors went on to make more cult movies.In Chicago, a VHS tape bootlegger used to sell NTSC copies of this at horror shows in Chicago, right after this came out on tape in PAL. The dealer ran a trailer of this on a TV he had on his table. He sold out a whole box of tapes of this movies within minutes of the show opening, just off the trailer.

lost-in-limbo By any stretch of the imagination 'Bloodlust' is terrible pile of perverted garbage, but in the end I had trouble taking my eyes off this highly entertaining low-cost trash. When I came across it I never even heard of this Australian horror feature. 'Banned in Britain' screams out on the front of the video case and whole bunch of rave comments just suck you in! Think of early Peter Jackson ('Bad Taste') but even more inept and downright crazy. It's cheap… really cheap off-kilter exploitation involving buckets of ultra-violence, soft-core sex and maniac dialogues. The execution is chaotic and dumb (just watch for the over-the-top performances where no one is safe from the onslaught!), but that's its charm. The enthusiasm shows behind the camera, than just in front of it. The style kinda reminds me of a local (Australian viewers would know) TV series which also spawned a movie or two; 'Pizza'. It does feel like a home-made video, which it's obviously shot-on-video and it amateurishly shows. The FX work is crude and outrageous, and this seems to work and add to the fun while we get a blaring heavy metal soundtrack accompanying with hammering beats and rhythms. Or maybe it's just noise for some?The story follows three modern-day vampires (not your traditional bloodsuckers too) who decide enliven their boring lifestyles (killing, sex and drug taking) to rob the mob and then find themselves being chased by mob hit-man, raving religious fanatics and two redneck cops.That's pretty much it. The tone of it is a dark, twisted and seedy black comedy that has an audacious streak. Every couple of words is something foul, the pace is non-stop and the performances range from stiff (the three vamps) to bonkers stage-like show acting (religious fanatics take the cake).For a laugh (unintentional or not) this is a good one to watch with pals. This schlock has cult written all over it.

Jerry Nuckolls .......this is a must for role players and Vampire: The Masquerade junkies. It portrays vampires as parasites and draws parallels between vampirism and addiction. good triple-cross plot line, original and inventive. 3 Gypsyish vampires roam Australia, screwing and getting high. They decide to rob a local mobster, incurring his wrath. Meanwhile, the pigs are investigating the blood-drained corpses littering the city. As if that's not enough aggravation, a local group of fundamentalist Xtian vampire-hunters is aggressively trying to drive stakes through the hearts of all of the bloodsuckers. Still not as good as other vampire movies, but scores points for originality and outright depravity. Worth a look. Lotsa gunfights.Coulda been directed in a more artistic manner, but still preferable to most Hollywood bull***t...what can I say, I love that B-movie vibe. Odd directorial choices, half of the Aussie cast attempts to speak like American rednecks, resulting in some amusing, if somewhat unbelievable dialogue. Don't be a pussy, check it out.

grandmoffgherkin I feel no remorse is saying that Bloodlust is quite possibly one of the worst films ever made. Not because of the fact that the budget looks lower than that of the average backyard porn flick, or that the acting sucks or whatever...It's more about the fact that this is advertised as being a "vampire movie", however, for anybody who's ever seen a vampire film, it's nice when they actually feature some characters that you can say without a doubt, "yep, that person's a vampire" rather than "yep, that person's a wolf-haired gimp in fluoro sweatpants".Truly bad.
