Blood Vessel (2019) 3.7 out of 10 stars ⭐


...then this is the movie for you!


This movie has everything you've already seen before, and that's not a good thing. You won't be wowed, because this writer/director (Justin Dix) wastes a brilliant take, on an old idea. Instead of taking this premise, and doing something new and inventive with it, he instead reuses every other vampire/ghost ship/Nazi trope, you've already seen. There's bits of Dracula, but of course no one in it is as good as the great Gary Oldman. There's bits of Ghost Ship (another waste IMHO), but of course, no one in it, is as good as the great Gabriel Byrne. It also steals from Death Ship, but without the greatness of George Kennedy. I could go on, but I think you get the point. It's a missed opportunity, with decent actors, and a fantastic set. If you're like me, and you love atmospherics, then you still might find something to enjoy here, but it couldn't even carry me all the way to the end.


Overall, I'd suggest you watch a myriad of other things (including the movies listed above), before you watch this.
