The horror

The Breed (2001)

As must be obvious by now, I will watch anything. Sometimes this leads me to little pockets of intelligence and filmic grace like Perfect Creature. Other times to...atrocities like this.
There is no reason to give a plot synopsis, as The Breeds plot actually sounds kind of interesting in a original vampire movie sort of way, but believe me, it isn't.
What one inflicts on oneself when watching is a noxious mixture of stupid-trying-to-be-clever dialogue, absurdly shoddy production design and direction that does anything (except for using "Look how bad this is" placards) to demonstrate its own incompetence.
The acting is of course terrible, not even Bai Ling seems to be trying. And then, there are the fake accents...
It's just painful.



Darling of the day:

"Did you smell him?"
"The odor of burning flesh overpowered all else."
