As a vampire aficionado, I always like to check out a new film in the genre. I saw Bled last night on Comcast on demand for free, and I was pleasantly surprised. This film had a new take on it that was fresh and interesting. I just watched it for the third time and really love the direction by Hutson, the screenplay by Essex, and the production by Allard. For a B movie this was excellent. I can't even make it through most B movies once, so three times is quite a record. I have to say that the addiction subtext, the "Lovecraftian" parallel universe, and the question of demonic possession, and the tragic love story definitely elevated the film. This was a Jungian nightmare! It also has something I have missed from many recent vampire films: eroticism. True eroticism is one of the reasons I love vampire stories so much because of my early exposure to Dark Shadows and of course Dracula. I guess you could say the first time I read Dracula it also coincided with my own sexual awakening so this movie definitely filled the bill for me! So many recent vampire films are just gore and soft porn without a substantial plot or even passable acting. This had them all. The acting, direction, production, editing and score were great considering the low budget they had to work with! This is definitely an A1 B movie for the more cerebral horror fans!!!
But I don't think I would have enjoyed this movie quite as much without Chris Ivan Cevic!!! A STAR is BORN! This guy just lights up the screen! Not only is he incredibly handsome, sexy as hell, and drop dead gorgeous: He's also a good actor! If anyone in Hollywood actually reads this: HIRE THIS GUY!!! I can see him in romantic comedies, action flicks and anything in between! This guy has got that indefinable "IT," and he makes the movie immensely more enjoyable. Trust me....
