A new direction for vampire movies

"While most of the film market is flooded with vampire films trying to ride the recent wave of success, Bloodwine follows a path that is certainly far less traveled. While the vampiric elements are the driving force behind the plot, it mostly serves as a background to what is fundamentally a story about two friends reunited and quickly thrust apart by a bizarre set of circumstances. One might compare it to the way Shaun of the Dead was a romantic comedy that just happened to occur during the zombie apocalypse. It is well acted and certainly seems to be a solid film which unfortunately fell through the cracks due to more mainstream projects. Definitely worth watching both for it's uniqueness and for hot gothic vampire women. (I'm a guy, what can I say?)"
Goth girls and sexy vampires!

"I saw Bloodwine at a film festival a little while ago and I'm really happy that it's found a home on DVD. It's a great movie and everyone was really surprised once it was over. I don't want to give too much away, but it's difficult to make an original vampire movie these days...too often it follows the usual formula. Bloodwine is a very original film that doesn't pull any punches and leaves the viewer wanting more."
A great Vampire movie with strong female characters

"There have been a lot of vampire movies coming out lately, mostly due to the Twilight books being so popular, but they're almost always aimed at either the young girls who want their heros to be brooding or the gore crowd who wants sexy vampires and lots of blood. Bloodwine caters to both crowds by filling the film with strong, well drawn female characters who aren't afraid to be themselves.
Don't get me wrong, there are brooding vampires and sexy scenes of seduction, but Bloodwine has a lot more going for it. Check it out!"
Not much to like

""Bloodwine" has unattractive actresses, very poor acting, a nonsensical script that builds no suspense or dread, bottom of the barrel special effects, and no eroticism to speak of. Not much to like."
