The_Void I wasn't expecting much, if anything, from this film but my interests was really peaked by it when checking out this page before I started watching. I was surprised to see so many positive comments for Blood Relations before seeing the film - and even more surprised afterwards as this is a boring mess of a movie and I'm surprised anyone could find anything good to say about it! The story is not exactly original and focuses on a dysfunctional family. We follow a young girl who comes home to her family and ends up getting mixed up in a web of murder etc. The film is quite trippy as a result of the numerous drug induced dream sequences, but it's difficult to really care about anything that goes on and that constantly hinders it. The film's one saving grace comes in the shapely form of Lydie Denier in the central role, who provides the film with some much needed eye candy. I'm guessing this is meant to be a 'serious' horror film rather than a campy one, though it's very cheap and the scares, if intended, do really miss the mark. Overall, this is not a good or memorable film and since it is quite obscure anyway, I wouldn't recommend anyone purposefully seeks it out.
whpratt1 This is a very creepy film with plenty of sex and horror in a very mysterious old old Gothic type dwelling and a basement that looks like ER. Kevin Hicks,(Thomas),"Seeds of Doubt",'96 brings a very good looking and sexy Lydie Denier, (Marie), "Children of Wax",'05 to meet his father, Jan Rubes, (Andreas),"Anthrax",01 because he intends marry this young gal. There is fireworks going on between Tom and Marie, they are making love all over the place and don't seem to ever stop for a breath of fresh air. Andreas is a brain surgeon and has some very strange methods of screwing around in the heads of his patients. The grandfather who has recently had brain surgery views Marie and manages to recover from his brain surgery rapidly and asks Marie if she will take all her clothes off and give him a kiss. (A real Dirty Old Man). This is a very scary film and with all this brain surgery going on, I kept thinking about how veteran Horror Actor, Boris Karloff would have handled this type of operation and Marie !
HumanoidOfFlesh "Blood Relations" is a truly bizarre horror film.Stunningly beautiful Lydie Denier is being brought home by rich Kevin Hicks.She meets surgeon dad Jan Rubes and together with the son they plan to kill dad and get a huge inheritance.But soon we learn dad and son are quite mad...The film is occasionally truly creepy and weird-the performances are very good and believable.There is almost no gore,but the film definitely works as an atmospheric Gothic shocker.Overlooked classic and a must-see for horror fans!
Tito-8 It took some time to really get going, but once it did, I was rather pleased. It's so refreshing to see things that you'll never find in a mainstream film. There were things in this movie that were downright sick, and yet those were the parts that I enjoyed the most. The setup was perhaps a little slow, but the finale was one that I won't soon forget. It's not for all tastes, but if you can enjoy films that are more than a little warped, then it is truly worth seeing.
