Blood Lust

Rating: 1/10 (26 January 2008)

This is simply one of the ABSOLUTELY WORST films I have ever wasted two precious hour of my life on. If you have any doubt Tim Burton is a total weirdo, this seals it. This goes over the top, even for him.
Only O.J. Simpson could watch this film with any comfort. I lost count after endless throat slashings and buckets full of squirting blood, which simply left me squirming in my seat. This film will give you nightmares.
The only unintentional comic relief comes from Borat's Sacha Baron Cohen, who is guaranteed to send giggles though the audience. His character briefly allows you to come up for air in this otherwise morbid, dreary tale.
And as a musical no less?! Get real. "My Fair Lady" has no worries about being eclipsed. I've heard better tunes from stray cats.
Johnny Depp sort of makes you imagine that Edward Scissorshands has grown up into a shaving blade wielding serial killer.
This is a relentlessly grim, dark, grimy film that is monotone from start to finish. The final scene betrays sort of a blood-fetish by Burton, and is nauseatingly disgusting.
