Editorial Review:

Description:
Two horror legends reunite again. After the success of Rob Zombie's THE DEVIL'S REJECTS, legendary actor Sid Haig (HOUSE OF1000 CORPSES, KILL BILL 2) and horror icon Ken Foree (DAWN OF THE DEAD) team up again in BROTHERHOOD OF BLOOD, a claustrophobic thriller about a team of vampire hunters who must infiltrate a nest of the undead to save one of their own.

It's a vampire movie, and as a rule, I don't watch 'em. (OK, Hammer Draculas, but they're something else entirely.) I suppose I just should have gone with my instincts and put BROTHERHOOD OF BLOOD back on the shelf. But, I got hooked on the box copy - it looked kinda indie, the quotes were promising, and the art was gruesome enough - I thought it might be a big make-up FX film. Instead it is a low budget movie. The acting is very good and the story gets more and more dramatic and some scenes are really good. It's not a bad movie, but as far as horror movies go I was fairly impressed by BROTHERHOOD OF BLOOD and would certainly recommend it to anyone with a passing interest in horror movies, though it's probably a bit too violent and morbid for some tastes.

Rating: - watchable
One of the pleasant parts of the film is that traditional good guys and villains are continually switched around as the film progresses. The movie is flawed in small parts, but I don't feel that that makes it any less enjoyable, just marks points that could be improved. Basically, BROTHERHOOD OF BLOOD drips atmosphere, and sinks you into its world of shadows and blood. It's actually more of a mystery story than a horror story, and gels both genres together well. Watchable

Rating: - A Morality Drama
I expected this to be a lot scarier. Apart from Ken Forree's talk of tearing people's faces off, this wasn't really that unsettling. I expected more. More action, more blood, more special effects. But then I thought...why? Those elements usually overshadow the story and acting which are the strongpoints of this movie. Vampire movies are the easiest kinds of horror movies to attend. We know all the rules and we know the scenerio. But it's what the director does with those two conventions that determine the film's success. Brotherhood Of Blood is not so much a movie about vampirism as it is a movie about evil and hate. The ending, well...what can I say? Predictable, sure. But still impressive. I enjoyed the plot twists.

Rating: - good vampire tale
"Brotherhood of Blood" is maybe not a great film, but it is truly some kind of classic and I love it! And I am in no way a fan of horror movies or even a lot of gore but somehow I fell in love with this movie. I had originally decided to see it because I'm a huge fan of Victoria Pratt and had read about her performance in this film. I had read some reviews for this film and some of them were not so great. But I decided to see this movie anyway. I ended up liking it and it wasn't as gory as I had read. Now, I will admit that it is a little campy at times and some of the special effects are a little cheesy but this is just a fun film to watch. A low-budget vampire story that is much different than most films.

Rating: - Not scary, but good
I enjoyed "Brotherhood of Blood". it really is an adult film. It was a pleasant experience which starred some of the characters from my favorite horror movies. The acting in was good. That's a splendid treat for any horror movie. Not only does it have good actors, it also includes character development which also makes for a wonderful experience. Still this movie has a few flaws. But for his kind of low budget I still liked the movie, and give it a 5 out of 5 stars.
