Life Blood
18 June 2010
Warning: Spoilers
After a party goes horribly wrong when model Brooke(Sophie Monk)stabs a Hollywood star, Warren(Justin Shilton)in the chest 87 times(!)with a hair pin when it appeared he was on the verge of sodomizing a fan of his(Scout-Taylor Compton in a cameo appearance), she and her lover, Rhea(the incredibly beautiful Anya Lahiri)are on the lam driving through the desert. God, in shape of a gorgeous woman(Angela Lindvall), gives Rhea eternal life and kills Brooke for her sins. Rhea begs God to return Brooke to her, and in doing so may've committed a mistake which will come back to haunt her. As vampires, with a thirst for blood, Rhea understands control while Brooke enjoys the powers and abilities equipped to her a little too much. Rhea is God's chosen while Brooke begins a murder spree, the two holing up in a service station as the sun comes up(sun does harm them). Dan(Patrick Renna), the station clerk, worries, obviously, for his life as Brooke preys on customers(and local police)who come across her path. When Brooke even attacks Rhea who has tried to talk sense into her about attacking innocent people instead of the evil men who walk the earth(as God intended), there seems to be no stopping her reign of terror. But, God is always present for Rhea and it's only a matter of time before Brooke finally goes too far..

Barely any plot to speak of, with sexy Sophie Monk pretty much killing the entire cast..that is when she isn't bickering with Lahiri over controlling her violent urges, and desiring to kill anyone in her sight. More of an oddball vampire comedy. Not sure what the hell was up with the whole plot concerning God, but those moments where Lindval and Lahiri kiss didn't bother me in the least. Speaking of lesbian kissing, Monk and Lahiri share numerous smooches over the running time, but their differing feelings on the powers granted them(and how to use them)keeps them at odds with each other. I first saw Monk in THE HILLS RUN RED and she is a striking woman, I get weak at the knees when she appears on screen, and she seems like the perfect choice for a dangerous vamp. Monk seems to enjoy herself, and as a vampire she has an ability to be both alluring and threatening at the same time. Not quite as violent as I was expecting, Monk doesn't feed as much as you'd think, more or less using a variety of weapons to eliminate humans who anger her. I must admit that I was a little disappointed in LIFE BLOOD, expecting a more focused lesbian vampire film, but the plot is all over the place, an emphasis on comedy and weird developments(this is certainly a different method for producing vampires). Still, when you have such lovelies as Monk and Lahiri as the leads, the movie can't be all bad. With small actor Danny Woodburn as a deputy and Charles Napier as Sheriff Tillman, two of many who have the misfortune of crossing Monk during the film.
