INNOCENT BLOOD
A film review by Sean Eric Fagan
Copyright 1992 Sean Eric Fagan
INNOCENT BLOOD started out poorly, in my opinion, with the leading lady parading around her apartment in the nude (usually an inauspicious beginning for a movie.)
But it ended up being better than I originally thought it was going to be (from the advertisements), and better than the beginning lead me to believe it was going to be.
Oh, it has lots of faults. There are some inconsistencies in it, which really annoy me (a couple of them could have been fixed by simply removing a couple of scenes that didn't add much to the movie at all), but there were not enough to make me decide I didn't like the film. The other really cheesey thing about it was the glowing eyes; the commercials which had those made me think it was going to be a *really* stupid movie.
Well, it wasn't. It wasn't a *great* movie, but I did manage to enjoy it. It could easily have been better, if, for example, the lead's conflicts with her needs and her ethics had been dealt with more. And the ending leaves a lot unsaid (there are going to me *lots* of problems about a week after the movie's ending, but isn't that always the case? 8-)).
But I still liked it. Definitely recommended for a matinee showing. Call it a +2 on a -5 to +5 scale.
