pj304 Watched this movie on zone horror one night during a bout of insomnia. I can honestly say that it is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Basically, 7 survivors of a plane crash set up camp in deserted hut during a snowstorm but soon find themselves picked off one by one by a flesh eating alien. I thought it sounded like it could be pretty good - I couldn't have been more wrong.The directing, editing, lighting, acting, special effects - in fact, pretty much EVERYTHING about the movie - are absolutely terrible. The plot is basically non-existent. The movie is peppered with various scenes in which the actors are quite clearly standing in front of a blue screen. It really has to be seen to be believed, its THAT bad. Oh and there's also a random lesbian sex scene thrown on for good measure.An embarrassment to all involved.

innocuous OK, it's a crummy movie, at least according to the usual standards of film, but it is not that hard to watch. In fact, it's really pretty fun. (I don't mean that it's so bad that it's good; I mean that it's fairly interesting and it doesn't grind your soul down as you wait for it to end.) The story keeps moving and actually has some suspenseful moments. (You may actually be mildly surprised at who survives and why.) There are several lengthy topless scenes, including some lesbian action. The acting is wildly over the top and the characters do the dumbest things. But it plunges forward relentlessly and cheerfully.The alien(s) is a combination of puppetry and some of the hokiest animation possible. "Cheesey" doesn't begin to describe it. But that's also part of the fun. Plus, you just have to catch the airplane FX at the beginning of the movie.It appears that about half of the movie is blue-screen and this creates some truly surrealistic effects. During a confrontation in a room, for example, the shots of one character were clearly taken on location or on a soundstage (probably the former). The reverse shot of the other character is obviously blue-screen, but the background that has been inserted looks like Van Gogh painted it, with wild textures and colors. It's supposed to be the very same room, but you'd hardly know it.I also enjoyed the revolver that was used. Not only did it not require reloading (well...they DID reload it once, I guess) but it is clearly a toy with green paint on the muzzle so they could add CGI muzzle blasts when it was fired. It's fascinating.And be sure to pay attention to the clearly irrelevant snow cat subplot. And the styrofoam snow. And the fake "flame thrower" FX. And the "baby" aliens. It's like Disneyland...so much to see.Anyway, I watched it all the way through and suffered absolutely no ill effects. Give it a break...it IS what it aspires to be.

ritchiealan This simply has to be the worst film ever made. Why? No plot, no script, no direction, no acting, the worst CGI monsters you are ever likely to see – wouldn't convince a four year old that they were real, let alone an adult. Move over "Plan 9 from Outer Space", your title as worst ever move has just been hijacked! You have to ask the question, why did they bother? At least Plan 9 was bad enough to achieve some kind of cult status, and had a "star" in Bela Lugosi. This film had nothing. And… all these comments are based on the bits of the film I could bear to watch! It was way too excruciating to view every minute! If this one comes round on cable, go out, make a coffee, clean your navel out with a screwdriver – anything has to be better that watching this!

Paul Andrews Blood Predator starts as a small plane full of people on holiday heads towards Yosemite National Park in California, however during bad whether the plane is forced to crash land in the wilderness miles from anywhere. There are seven survivors, married couples John (Bill Devlin) & Sandy (Merry Simkins) plus Tom (Mark Irvingsen) & Barb (Rayne Aspengren) along with snowboarder Zak (Jared Cohn) & his girlfriend Jennifer (Mary Dignan) & rounding things off is lesbian Caren (Jackie Freed). Deciding they need to get out of the freezing whether they come across a seemingly deserted house with a ski mobile, unfortunately it doesn't work so they then decide to stay at the house & wait for help. Little do they realise that alien creatures have invaded the house & have eaten the previous occupant's, the seven survivors soon end up on the menu...Written, produced & directed by Paul Gagné at the time of me writing this comment Blood Predator has no other 'User Comments' or 'External Reviews' on the IMDb although in the fullness of time as it becomes widely available that will undoubtedly change. It also only has five 'User Ratings' with three IMDb users giving a lowly 1 star (six now if you count me) & two insane users giving it an astonishing 10 stars out of 10, I'm sorry but the day when a piece of crap film such as Blood Predator is worthy of a flawless 10 out of 10 is the day civilisation as we know it collapses. There are so many things utterly awful & inept about Blood Predator it's hard to know where to begin or indeed stop for that matter. First the character's, there are two types of character's in Blood Predator. Annoying & very annoying. They are really awful clichés of the poorest sort, apart from a few random clichéd lines to flesh them out these people are just there to make up the numbers. The dialogue is awful & sometimes contradicts itself, for instance after shooting an alien one character triumphantly claims that 'it's dead' at which point someone replies 'are you sure' to which he says back 'it's impossible to tell'. Just think about that short dialogue exchange, it's a total contradiction within the space of five seconds isn't it? At first the guy is sure it's dead & then in virtually the same sentence claims it's impossible to know if it's dead. That's just one example of the badly written & thought out dialogue, trust me there are other's. Then there's the fact that Blood Predator is so slow & boring, for the first seventy minutes nothing happens. Why don't the aliens attack? What are they doing exactly? If they strip human beings to the bone (lots of bones found in the basement) & eat the flesh why didn't they eat Zak the snowboarder? They killed him & placed his body outside the front door so the other's would find it, why? Look I could go on all day about how bad Blood Predator is but there's a word limit & I really can't be bothered even thinking about it any more.Director Gagné obviously had no money & doesn't have much of anything else either. We are supposed to believe that these plane crash survivors are snowed in but if you look at the scene when they first find the house the ground is perfectly dry without a single snow flake anywhere to be seen, now you could accept this & say the snow cleared up but then why do they spend so much time trying to fix the snow mobile? They could just literally walk & if you look at the scene when they start the snow mobile & how slow it is it probably would have been quicker to walk! There's just no snow on the ground or lying on the branches of trees or any sign that they are snowed in. It's a huge continuity problem that is just laughable when seen on screen, it destroys the whole plot & it's impossible to take the film seriously. There's barely any gore, there's some blood splatter, an alien sticks it's tongue through a girls chest, there's a decapitated head & hand & that's it. The special effects are terrible, the CGI alien ant things don't look anything like the real life on set rubber puppet which is so static & lacks any sort of movement.According to the IMDb Blood Predator had a budget of about $250,000 which actually sounds quite a lot considering what ended up on screen. Quite literally noting happens for the first seventy minutes for God's sake. It seems to have been shot on a video camcorder with most of it being filmised although there are still shots which are clearly video. The acting is pretty bad.Blood Predator is a truly awful, awful film in every way both conceptually & technically. Seriously this is the kind of film that makes you want to stop watching films altogether, definitely one to avoid & don't believe the 10 out of 10 ratings as it was probably the director & his mum who voted. Think Return of the Aliens: The Deadly Spawn (1983) rip-off only much, much worse.
