What could possibly go wrong?-----Scores------Cinematography: 8/10 Good, but not great.Sound: 8/10 OK.Acting: 5/10 Lance Henriksen was competent as usual. Kevin Dillon was better than I expected, but Vanessa Angel was worse. The side actors were unimpressive.Screenplay: 5/10 The plot meanders somewhat aimlessly at times, but at least there is a plot. Too many times, a large chunk of vampire rules gets introduced suddenly from left field. That seemed to be one of the purposes of the Susan character. Hank wears one shirt (that I could see) during the film. Yet the blood stains on it change remarkably more than once.

Christopher Smith I watched OUT FOR BLOOD when it premiered on the Sci-Fi channel last summer and although I was expecting it to be slightly better than it was, I still found it to be better than most movies that premiered on the Sci-Fi channel in the past few years. Low-budget like all of the Sci-fi channel original movies, some of the effects are a bit cheesy, but most of them are decent enough. One would expect the special effects to be the highlight of a vampire film like this, but the highlight is actually Kevin Dillon's performance. His performance almost makes up for the clichéd script and occasionally weak directing. Despite the flaws of OUT FOR BLOOD, it still an entertaining picture that never left me bored and given a better budget and script, could have been an above average vampire flick. I give it 5/10.

Carl I landed on this movie by mistake actually, started watching because the remote wasn't near me and I had things on my lap that prevented me from getting up to change the channel. I'm glad I didn't ... here's why:For die hard vampire fans or horror flick fans this may be too light weight for you, but since I'm not a follower of the genre that would be up to you. This film is a really good film in my opinion. I kept watching at first because I wanted to see Kevin Dillion -- who turns out to be really quite good. I think the movie is supposed to be scary, but it seems to be done tongue in cheek -- I found myself laughing at times which is good for me since I'm not real into being scared myself. So, I enjoyed this about the movie. The storyline had a few turns that were unexpected and definitely kept me watching. So, I'd say it's a keeper. Whether for a comedy for a horror flick I'm not quite sure which to put it under. And the funny thing is I say that in a good way. It was quite enjoyable and I'd even say that I'd watch it again. I hope more people post opinions so I can come back and read what others had to say about the movie. Enjoy - I hope.

jlamb-1 I would like to know who I contact at Sci Fi to request a refund of the 2 hours of my life wasted on this movie. It was a hodge-podge of every known vampire movie cliché known to man... Have to kill the master... darn its almost sundown.. Why don't they ever find him 5 minutes after 9 am?I gotta look under the bed...ooops I'm dead.The one good point in this movie (besides the end.. not the ending but the words THE END) was the Sammy Sosa impression done to the ex-wife's boyfriend. ClassyIf anyone else hasn't seen this flick.. I envy you.
