Movie Reviews of Subspecies 4: BloodstormMovie Review: Great Series Summary: 4 StarsI like collecting DVDs of movies I liked as a kid,for nostalgia, and I was really into full moon movies. The Puppet Master series, Dollman, Demonic toys, Pit & The Pendulum, Trancers Crash and Burn and Subspecies. Most of these DVDs are hard to find. For those that don't know a few years ago Full Moon sold their DVD rights to Paramount to market their movies. But Koch video released many official Full Moon movies on DVD illegally causing a big fall out between Full Moon and Paramount. The original Subspecies is available on DVD (other movies released were Puppet Master I and II, Puppet Master boxed set, Crash and Burn, Pit & Pendulum and Demonic Toys. These are rare, expensive and hard to find but very possible. Subspecies I is available on Amazon for 199.99...a little much.)
Anyways I am still quite surprised at how much I enjoy them. There is really nothing to say about Bloodstorm that other reviewers haven't. If you are a fan of the series then by all means buy it. This brings some closure to the series but its very necessary to see the other 3 movies first.
This DVD comes with the usual Full Moon VideoZone. There are two commentary tracks provided by Director Ted Nicolau and Denise Duff. Mr. Nicolau's commentary is excellent. He provides with all the intricate technical problems and enhancements that had to go into this movie. Denise Duff's commentary is very humorous.
Summary of Subspecies 4: BloodstormTed Nicolaou's vampire film Subspecies 4: Bloodstorm comes to DVD with a standard full-frame 1.33:1 image. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Stereo. There are neither subtitles nor closed-captions on this release. Supplemental materials include biographies of the cast and crew, behind-the-scenes footage, and a commentary track by the director. Considering the inexpensive list price, this disc actually provides a wealth of material, making an interesting release for genre enthusiasts who may be unaware of the Subspecies films. If that isn't enough of a title, it's also subtitled "The Master's Revenge." The old master is Radu Vladislas, the same bloodsucker from the other Subspecies movies. Michelle (Denise Duff) is back once more as well, although her sister gets knocked off unceremoniously in the first few minutes. It's impossible not to warm a little to a film that has the line, "So what brings you to Bucharest, master?" and this film doesn't mess around delivering what its audience wants. That means blood, lots of blood, and everybody talks with their mouths full. Vampires can't seem to wipe their chins, but they sure are plucky. Filmmakers pretty much expect that you've seen the first three films. The DVD also has a cheapo video release update, showing off the latest Blood Dolls and Puppet Master films, as well as a "making of" for this film. Hope this doesn't disappoint, but there is no actual storm of blood. Tsk, tsk, what a shame. --Keith Simanton
