Blood Vessel
Near the end of World War II, the survivors of a torpedoed hospital ship cling to life aboard a crowded lifeboat. With no food, water, or shelter, all seems lost – until an eerily silent German minesweeper drifts ominously towards them, giving them one last chance at survival. As our motley crew explores the ship, it becomes all too clear that some diabolical fate has befallen its German crew. The mystery only deepens when they encounter a young Romanian girl, apparently the sole survivor, who leads them to a locked room in the bowels of the vessel.

SWITCH.
Subverting a cliché-heavy genre template requires a tricky balancing act: the setup needs to look conventional, but if it's too conventional, the audience may fall asleep before the twist kicks in. Despite some decent (if familiar) work from the makeup, prosthetics, and special effects teams, the slack pacing and lack of any real innovation in 'Blood Vessel' means the end result is disappointingly lifeless. Cool title, though. - Jake Watt Read Jake's full article... https://www.maketheswitch.com.au/article/review-blood-vessel-dissapointingly-anaemic
The Movie Mob
**Some of its budget constraints hold back Blood Vessel, but what they did pull off made for a decent horror movie.** Blood Vessel isn’t particularly unique or innovative, but it’s a solid vampire low-budget horror film. Let’s start with the bad. The movie spends almost a full hour and 15 minutes before the vampires start munching on people making the story drag until the action begins. Once the action did start, it was generally quick cuts and shaky cam rather than well-choreographed fights. Now for the good. The set, costumes, creature design, makeup, and practical effects were all excellent for a low-budget film. The eyes of the vampires looked so cool! I really liked the motley crew of characters and their struggle to survive. In the end, Blood Vessel wasn’t an outstanding film, but I enjoyed watching it anyway!
