![]() He happens to be working at a less than reputable place in sharp contrast to his pal. With that in mind, enter Jeremiah (played by Alexander Dreymon) who is all swagger and good looks. It’s a bunch of creepy stuff, strongly hinting at the supernatural, that ended up a cold case. The voice-over stuff at the beginning is coming from Daniel, a police detective (played by Darion Basco), rummaging through his deceased father’s biggest case when he was a detective. ![]() This is also a bit of a buddy movie as we see early on. There’s more but the characters will find out the finer details and they move along. And they each are supposed to have access to their own special blade in order to kill humans with or, as the rules suggest, to kill themselves. We learn that these are vampires with options. “Blood Ransom” begins with a soft vibe to it: an introduction to vampires followed by a voice-over like out of a noir film. And much of what makes this work is a strong cast, starring Alexander Dreymon, as the lone wolf hero, in love with Anne Curtis, as the mysterious vampire vixen. #BLOOD RANSOM FULL MOVIE ANNE CURTIS PLUS#the one guy who might make a difference, plus a bunch of quirky twists. It’s got your basic adreniline-fuled plot, vampire gang vs. As if oblivious to “Twilight,” this vampire love story is a noir-tinged offbeat adventure harking back to the ’70s. ![]() This film tosses a nice mix of ingredients into the bowl, and outside of some slow movement and scattered scenes here and there, I’d offer this up as a decent watch to those who like their vampire flicks gritty and paced with danger… and not so much damn glitter strewn all over the place.“Blood Ransom” is a slow burn crime thriller that fearlessly takes on the whole vampire genre. The whole “vampire” centerpiece isn’t used to excess, and that is a good thing, mainly due to the fact that I don’t think at this point in cinema showcasing there can be much left to either present or accomplish with the undead nightcrawler plotline. Performances are standard fare (with Curtis as the exception – her gaze is hypnotizing). The remainder of the film has a sound cat and mouse chase that will give the noir-nostalgists a nice feeling in their guts, with a semi-pleasing dosage of crimson to shower in. In any event, as the two absconders continue their hot and heavy entanglement with each other, the violence level ratchets higher and higher when Crystal’s need to feed gets SLIGHTLY out of control (they don’t call this movie Blood Ransom for nothin). Okay, I need to put the brakes on here for a few… I’m beginning to drone on like one of those Harlequin romance novels. However, a strong bond begins to grow between her and Jeremiah as their attempts to flee from the villains that pursue them cause their hearts to grow fonder for one another. To further complicate things for those involved, a sadistic hitman named Bill (Jamie Harris) is dispatched to run the two escapists down and return Crystal to her rightful place at her master’s side. ![]() Now you all didn’t think that would be the stone-cold endline of the plot, did ya? No way! Her hunger pains grow stronger every day, and if that isn’t enough of a problem to be dealing with, she is now being pursued by Jeremiah (Alexander Dreymon), a man that has been sent to bring her home to safety. The movie stars Anne Curtis (the Philippines’ Queen of the Box Office) as Crystal – a woman who is devastated due to the passing of her parents, and her solace is found at the immortal hands of an evil head-honcho bloodsucker (Caleb Hunt as Roman), thus beginning her seven-day evolution into becoming a creature of the night. ![]()
