Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Scott LeBrun Make no mistake, "Blood Suckers from Outer Space" *is* fun, but wasn't as much fun for this viewer given the value of that great schlock title. One would expect lots of campy entertainment from a movie bearing that title, but there's just too much talk and not enough action. However, when things get interesting, there's good times to be had. They're just largely saved for the last quarter of the movie. The no-name cast has the offbeat task of looking very serious a lot of the time, but sometimes dropping that seriousness in favour of a playful wink at the audience. There are some very amusing instances of breaking the fourth wall. The gore is as tacky as one could wish for, and the soundtrack is catchy, especially that new wave rock title theme song.Thom Meyers plays Jeff Rhodes, an amiable Texan hoping to make a living as a photographer, which puts him at odds with his farmer uncle Joe (Robert Bradeen). Making the acquaintance of comely stranger Julie (Laura Ellis), who gives him a lift when his car has a flat, he soon makes the discovery that a strange alien force - manifested as wind - is transforming the peaceable country folk into bloodthirsty ghouls. While Jeff and Julie simply try to survive, a gung-ho Army general named Sanders (Dennis Letts) thinks he knows how to take care of the problem.Goofy fight scenes, a sometimes priceless music score (by Rick Garlington, who also plays Major Hood), endearing lead characters, and that irresistible no budget flavour of a regional horror flick help to make this reasonably enjoyable. Token name actor Pat Paulsen contributes a knowing cameo as a randy U.S. president, and is a hoot to watch. Letts, who made his film debut here and became a prominent local character actor (also turning up in things like "A Perfect World" and "Passenger 57"), is solidly entertaining in his role. All things considered, this is agreeable enough and funny enough to sit through for a fairly trim 82 minutes.Six out of 10.
katrinia17 Since an early age I have been a fan of B movies and Cult classics. I remember watching Blood suckers from Outer Space when I was about 9 year's old. My whole family hated the movie but I was hooked! This movie is way funny and I agree with other comments, it's a must see for anyone who loves bad acting, card board props and lot's of fake blood shot through tubes.This is one of my all time fav. movies and because of that, I will be attempting my first script ever "Zombie Dogs" which is inspired by your's truly "Blood Suckers From Outer Space". I hope they bring this movie back out! The second that it's on DVD, I'm going to buy it. A must for all B movie collections!
stephenhughes One of the best B movie soundtracks I've heard. The movie is goofy but fun and I hear a DVD is in the works. In answer to one of the commentators above, no the film makers were not serious. Also for any child of the 60's you get to see Pat Paulson fulfill his dream of being President of the United States. I also suspect he enjoyed being surrounded by a bevy of babes. Pat Paulson accounts for the lions share of the budget, obviously. When it was actually touring theaters, in South America and Southern Europe, it had to use "Bloodsuckers from another Planet" so that it wouldn't step on the audience for "Clowns from Outer Space" which I've never seen. I wonder if the clowns were bloodsuckers? There is no doubt the bloodsuckers were clowns.
Obituary99 It's been years since I saw this movie and for one I must say this is one of the lamest but greatest horror movies of all time. The acting is bad and the props are corny but honestly I love this movie dearly. If I had a copy of it I would never sell or trade it for anything.It's been twelve years since I've seen it but if you ever come across this movie rent it or buy it! I must say this is one of a kind. the reason why I loved this movie is because the creators didn't take this project to seriously. To me they did it for fun and for a good time.If you don't like low budget horror flicks stay away but I'm telling you, if you pass this movie up you'll be kicking yourself later. Where is Anchor Bay Entertainment when you need them! DVD Please! 10 stars out of 10 stars!
