Blood Shed (2013)
6/10
Mother and child reunion
19 January 2018
Warning: Spoilers
This film is in no way a remake or sequel to the Terry West epic landmark film by the same name.

In the city of angels, Gabriel (Gabriel De Santi) is mailed a key to a storage shed. Gabriel is interested in the shed as it holds a key to his real parentage. There are homeless people who live in some of the sheds and a mean owner named Arsen (Yasha Blackman), a second generation American who opted to keep his accent. Samira (Bree Essrig) is a chunky redhead who works there and takes an immediate liking to Gabriel who doesn't get along with the owner, hates life, and ignores his acting coach.

There is also a naked woman (Cherie Daly) whose name is Jezebel that walks around like Mathilda May in "Lifeforce." Frequent "B" actress Bai Ling has a small role looking like the ho girlfriend of an NBA owner. Jillisa Lynn shows off her hammy legs, apparently on the same non-diet plan as Bree Essrig.

The plot is straight forward and is explained about a third of the way through.

The film could have been better. They went out of their way to create odd homeless characters and then did nothing entertaining with them. They needed to up the gore factor as the horror factor couldn't carry the film.

In spite of any claim, this is not based on a true story, other than the fact people live in storage units.

Okay as a desperation horror rental. Thank you writer/director Patrick Hasson for NOT making this a hand held camera film.

Parental Guide: F-bomb. Nudity (Cherie Daly)
