Not too much worse. That is no excuse for this film though. My first impression of this flick was that it was made by some student filmmaker, who used some poor sap’s money to finance a horrible B-Movie.

Some of the acting wasn’t so bad. It was the sleazy and illogical plot that stunk the thing up. First, forget all of the usual “rules” of vampires and vampire movies. None of them apply here. Rules are made up as they go along.

The people who produced this thing seem to have taken every opportunity possible to inject sordid sexual inuendo into the movie. You’ve got multiple lesbian scenes, multiple intimations of incest, and I believe every single actress in the movie had at least one nude or sex scene. Oddly, the nudity was ALL in girl-girl sex scenes. I’d call this a soft-core porn movie, but I think that most porn movie writers would be rightfully offended.

If you’re a lesbian who loves BAD horror movies, this may be just the ticket for you. If not, you’ll probably want to pass on this one. I’m guessing that even Cinemax wouldn’t even air this direct to video release in a 3 a.m. time slot of the producers actually paid them to.

Obviously, the producers of this movie could not get a “real” star, so they decided to hire a “celebrity” who has long outlived her 15 minutes of fame to draw attention to this flick instead. Enter ex prostitution ringleader Heidi Fleiss. Her role in this film is (fortunately) very limited. To put it nicely, she simply can’t act. She looks like she is about a hundred years old and spaced out on who knows what kinds of drugs. The film even features her “shooting up” with some kind of mystery drug, and her circus-freak assistant smoking crack while on a break.

The leading actress in this movie is decent looking, but nothing to get excited about. I’m guessing that it took a truckload of hydrogen peroxide in order to keep her hair that color throughout the movie, not to mention a truckload of bright red lipstick. She can barely act, as is true of most of the cast.

The bad acting, cheezy special effects and lousy editing are bad enough, but its the script that doomed this film from the very beginning. At best, the plot simply makes no sense. Supposedly, the government’s most top-secret, lethal biological killing machine has just escaped from Area 51. So, who do they send to take care of the problem? A 100 lb blond bimbo with a Rambo knife. Yeah, sure. I wish I could say that the plot was confusing, but that’s not the case. It’s just plain stupid and unbelievable.

I have to concur with other reviewers that the person writing this screenplay may very well have been under the influence of some mind-altering chemical. I suspect that may have been the case with a lot of the people connected to this movie. Exactly why you would throw-in someone smoking crack in the middle of the film for no apparent reason, describing how great it felt, pretty much speaks for itself. You pretty much would have to be using crack in order to think that this movie was any good.

If making bad movies was a crime, the makers of this film deserve a life sentence. “Just say NO” to Alien 51.
