I'm writing this 'cause it's a pity that people rate this so extremely.

There's no way this is a 10 movie and no way it's a 1.

It's a pity as some of the reviews are quite good, but they lose credit by trying to massage the ratings.. we get it.. just, if you are gunna do it, don't mix it with a review.

The story is fairly good, a few twists but ultimately predictable, but that doesn't take away anything from the film: Many big budget films have insanely predictable stories.

The camera work and music scores were brilliant.

The acting was on par with any low budget/indie movie, with notables (as has been mentioned) Sarah French, Elissa Dowling and Johnny Huang. I don't think there was much Tara Reid had to offer, but willing to forgive as that outfit and makeup must have been nasty to work in.

Costumes/makeup were, sadly, too stereotypical, especially for the vampires... and Rico (Rich R. Rendon).. why did he have to look like a grease monkey.. I ride a Harley so therefore I must be covered in grease... even the main protagonist John Shepard (where have I heard that name before?) (Costas Mandylor) what was he wearing? Seriously, A load of pill bottles? Or shotgun cartridges.. but he uses a crossbow!

All in all, if you're gunna take the movie seriously then it's not for you... but if you don't mind hanging out with a few, not overly cynical, friends, opening a few bottles and chill to a nice story told on a budget, then go for it.

My personal critic would be something low budget vampire movies seem to like doing, but makes no sense (it's been done and hammered): I get it for the gore factor, but, why do the vampires waste such a valuable resource as blood by spilling it down their chin? I just don't get it. Also the first 5 minutes(ish.. didn't time it) really didn't do the movie any favours.

... and no vampires where paid for being in the movie.. that hardly seems fair.. don't they have a union?

I won't dwell too much into the leaking-of-small-budget stuff (movie-making is expensive thing after all), which could still be easily overlooked, if only the movie would have had any supporting backbone that'd make it worthvile. Pacing was slow, story was vague and slightly convoluted (there are TWO vampire masters?? Is there still working society, if people are scared of police? Didn't the vampires cause the apocalypse, as some lines seem to imply othervise?), with alot of relationships and story beats making sense only if you recognize the tropes. It also had little to no action (which was something I felt was expected from such premise), which leaves you questioning - what's the purpouse of this film? It's not drama, it's not bloody action flick, it's nothing. Just 1h30mins of people with some of the strangest written dialogues. Even the vampires weren't fun! So much wasted potential.

Ignore the 9 and 10 ratings reviews. This film is an absolute bore 'n snore! From the acting, dialogue to the story overall, it is a MASSIVE failure. I don't know what the other reviewers were on, or if they were part of the cast and crew, however, their attempts to lure you into watching this drivel is so good that you just want to give it a try. NO! STOP! DON'T!

A waste of time and energy! There may have been an energy vampire around to such you dry why trying your very best to like this film.

Once again I cannot help wonder why people spend money making such awful films.

Avoid at all costs! You have been warned!

OMG! Full disclosure: I only watched this to see how bad Tara Reid looks these days.

It's a train wreck of a movie.

Funny-talking, post apocalyptic, vampires wander the Earth in broad daylight biting people left and right willy nilly.

There are fight scenes that are totally laughable. The movie appears to be shot as if it was direct to video (dunno). The acting is quite simply horrible, but then the story-line is idiotic. Some guy dressed in an Australian coat with a three dollar mask hunts the vampire but no one else seems to know they can fight back with a stake. Also, for some reason it appears you can kill them with a shotgun.

I'll admit I had low expectations for this one but man-o-man did it come in even lower.

Why someone put money into backing this is beyond me.

Oh, and BTW Tara Reid looks like she was drinking something other than blood in this one.

This movie is horrible, the acting and the special effects. What a waste of talent. Costas Mandylor, Tara Reid, and the B horror movie King Robert Lasardo. The movie centers on an apocalyptic world run by Vampires, Mandylor Character is John Shepard a vampire hunter. He tracks down vampires in order to eliminate the master. We seen it all before, but at a much grand scale, as I said earlier this movie is very amatuerish. The acting and special effects. It was definitely wasted time spent. Watch John Carpenters Vampires instead or Near Dark. Two great vampire classics. Tara Reid needs a good comeback and this isnt it.

This is another fun indie movie from Mahal Empire. From past experience, their movies range in quality substantially. However, Bloodthirst truly stands out as one of their better ones.

It is set in a post-apocalyptic world a la Mad Max. The exact nature of the disaster that led to this scenario is not explained. However, the great camera work of Michael Su (who also directs this feature) truly helps to build the world and make it and the pockets of survivors believable to the audience. Added to this backdrop are groups of wandering vampires tribes who, like Blade, are able to operate in the daytime and hunt down and feed on some of the survivors.

Given the low budget that this movie was filmed with, one might expect that it would be extremely low quality. However, due to some solid acting talent and great camera work, score and editing, this movie gives a feeling of being much bigger in scope and feels very rich.

Now, don't get me wrong. Some of the practical effects were a little weak and this was not my favorite role for Tara Reid who I felt did not really pull off being the vampire queen. I also felt the final showdown was extremely predictable and would have played better if that battle was more drawn out.

On the other hand, there were some solid acting standouts. Unlike many indie movies, where big name actors are often only utilized in one scene, the star power was well used and had major screen time throughout the movie. Robert LaSardo truly plays up his role as the leader of the vampires. He is cold, scheming and calculating when called for but violent and passionate when angered. Sarah French is also solid in her role as a hardened survivor. However, Costas Mandylor absolutely stole the show with his role as the tough, wise and no nonsense vampire hunter, John Shepard, who we follow across the desolate landscape in his quest to rid the world of vampires.

All in all, if you love the vampire or post apocalyptic genre, there is a lot to love about this movie. Also, a final scene definitely leaves this movie open for a sequel which I have fingers crossed will happen at some point.

In a cinematic landscape often dominated by high-budget blockbusters and flashy special effects, "Bloodthirst," brought to us by the visionary minds at Mahal Empire, shines as a beacon of creativity, passion, and sheer tenacity. This post-apocalyptic vampire thriller proves that a limited budget can't hold back the power of an engaging story and a dedicated cast and crew.

Set in a desolate post-apocalyptic world overrun by vampires, "Bloodthirst" introduces us to the rugged and relentless John Shepard, portrayed with grit and gravitas by the ever-talented Costas Mandylor, known for his memorable roles in the Saw franchise. Mandylor's portrayal of the Vampire Hunter is nothing short of riveting, as he seamlessly embodies the character's toughness, determination, and unwavering commitment to his mission.

At the heart of the film is a classic battle of good versus evil, with Tara Reid, of American Pie fame, stepping into the role of the enigmatic Vampire Queen. Reid's performance is surprisingly compelling, showcasing a depth and intensity that many may not have expected. Her portrayal adds layers to the story, making it all the more engaging.

The supporting cast is equally impressive, with Robert LaSardo, Bishop Stevens, and Sarah French delivering noteworthy performances that enhance the overall quality of the film. Each character adds a unique element to the story, creating a rich tapestry of personalities in this dark, post-apocalyptic world.

What "Bloodthirst" lacks in big-budget spectacle, it more than makes up for with its well-crafted storytelling and an intriguing twist on the vampire genre. Directorial choices by Michael Su display a keen eye for making the most of their resources, and the result is a film that keeps you hooked from start to finish.

One of the film's strongest assets is its world-building. Despite the budget constraints, the production team has managed to create a convincing post-apocalyptic landscape overrun by vampires. The set design, makeup, and practical effects work together harmoniously, immersing the audience in this grim, bloodthirsty world.

The plot unfolds with a sense of urgency, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats as John Shepard embarks on his dangerous quest to eliminate the master vampire. It's a thrilling ride, filled with suspense, action, and unexpected twists that will have you guessing until the very end.

"Bloodthirst" is a testament to the passion and dedication of independent filmmakers who refuse to be limited by budget constraints. It proves that a compelling story and a committed cast can transcend financial limitations, delivering a cinematic experience that leaves a lasting impression.

In a world where big budgets often overshadow the true essence of storytelling, "Bloodthirst" stands as a shining example of what can be achieved through creativity, determination, and a deep love for the art of filmmaking. Don't let its low-budget status deter you; this film is a must-see for anyone who appreciates a thrilling, post-apocalyptic vampire tale brought to life by a talented ensemble of actors and filmmakers. "Bloodthirst" will leave you thirsting for more and eagerly anticipating Mahal Empire's future endeavors in the world of cinema.

What's with the "1" ratings? Very few films are really a "1." Those who give this film a "1" clearly have something against the makers of the film.

Moving on...

This is a low-budget, independent horror film. It was probably made for less than most movies spend on craft services. But that doesn't make it bad - far from it. With stars such as Costas Mandylor, Tara Reid and Robert LaSardo, there's some real talent on board.

And, unlike some other low-budget indies, the stars aren't in it for 2 minutes - they have major roles.

I'll avoid spoilers and say this: There's plenty of gore, laughs, and campy-cheese (or is it "cheesy-camp?") to make this film enjoyable. Most of the acting is good (Robert LaSardo is always a pleasure to watch) and the costumes/locations are believable - they keep you in the film.

If this was a $50 million movie, I'd give it a 3. But it's not. It was probably made for less than 1% of that amount...and, honestly, it's better than some big budget movies.

The Mahals have carved out a nice niche in the industry. This is another good one from them. Overall: 7.

"Bloodthirst," directed by Michael Su, is a refreshing addition to the vampire genre. Set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by super vampires, the film follows John Shepard, a Vampire Hunter portrayed by Costas Mandylor, on his quest to eliminate the master vampire, played by Robert LaSardo, before succumbing to vampirism himself. Alongside him are a diverse group of characters, including the Vampire Queen, Tara Reid , and a team of rebels known as the Malicia.

The film's strength lies in its well-structured story, penned by Massimiliano Cerchi and Adrian Milnes, which keeps the audience engaged from start to finish. The characters are likable and well-developed, and the plot is filled with twists, betrayals, and intense action sequences. The chemistry between Robert LaSardo and Tara Reid as the vampire leaders adds depth to their characters and makes their scenes memorable.

On the hero side, Costas Mandylor and Sarah French along with her sister played by Elissa Dowling deliver powerful performances, portraying convincing badasses determined to rid the world of the master vampire. The film successfully balances its characters, providing ample room for each to shine. Special shout out to 2 of the many stand out performances but left a lasting impression on me where Charlie (Johnny Huang) and the bad ass Rico (Rich R. Rendon).

What sets "Bloodthirst" apart is its ability to create a compelling atmosphere of fear while delivering a unique take on the vampire genre. It offers a cool villain, plenty of blood, and a satisfying payoff, hitting all the marks expected from a vampire movie.

In the hands of director Michael Su, the film manages to be both fun and engaging, keeping the audience hooked throughout. The promise of a sequel in the credits is exciting news for fans, as "Bloodthirst" leaves us craving more of its post-apocalyptic vampire world. Bravo to Michael Su for delivering a captivating and promising addition to the genre.

Living in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, a vampire hunter and his protege manage to find an outcrop of survivors in the desert and enlist their services to help them track a vicious vampire clan running through the area feeding on the weak and must try to stop them before it's too late.

There was a lot to like with this indie vampire effort. One of the better features here is a rather intriguing storyline that attempts to employ an intriguing post-apocalyptic setup for vampires. As this opens in the aftermath of these works have taken place and the exploits of the gang running around feasting on the hold-out of survivors at the one location, this manner of bringing vampires into this setup is quite fun. It allows for the film to work within it's low-budget featuring the creatures coming down to enforce their superiority over the victims while they can think of a means of escape. As well, there's also the tracker coming for them hunting them down which has some equally fun means of trying to catch up for a great setup. This all lets the film have a solid and generally fine if somewhat low-key series of confrontations throughout. As the early scenes of them taking over the farm or hunting the stragglers in the wasteland have a nice bit of brutality alongside the cheesy situations, it comes off nicely against the later scenes where they've got the victims hostage in the basement and arrive mainly to taunt them before feeding. The concurrent scenes of the hunters going through the desert taking them out and hunting the creatures in the abandoned town where the vampires have kept their captives and the series of battles here provide some fun action featuring solid indie gore. These features all manage to have a lot to really like about it. The film does have some minor drawbacks to hold this down. One of the main factors against it is the somewhat repetitive first half that never gives the vampires much urgency for what they're doing. The idea of the vampires staying at the house of their prey, holding them like hostages, and coming back down on several occasions is a pretty underwhelming one that doesn't have a lot of interesting aspects to it. As well, this one tends to go through ill-thought-out material for twists in the finale merely to prolong the running time as the series of double-crosses and allegiance shifts that don't make much sense and well thought-out how it would play out in the story are what end up being the issues that bring it down.
