Since Saturday seems to be a more stable day for me, let's showcase some Horror/Sci-Fi today.
Today's Film is Blood Machines, a 2019 import with a bright visual style. Does it have more to offer you though?
A cocky- read:asshole- Space Pilot shoots down a ship and lands on the Planet where it crashed.He wants the wreckage to sell for scrap.
His ship- by the way- looks like a freaky techno-vampire's mouth.

It looks great...but who would design a ship like that in real life?!?
Anyhow, they run afoul of some Ladies, who insist that the ship is...alive?
On board, his Partner and the AI- who's body is designed to look like the famous Robot from Metropolis- detect weird energy and other such things.

Even if they catch up, however, can they deal with what they find?
I won't dare SPOIL anything else about this one.

It's three 15-minute Episodes (roughly) and you really just need to see it.
What a fun, freaky and trippy sight. This thing truly is a bizarrely great visual delight.

If nothing else, the Film looks great. For fans of hard, freaky sci-fi will really love this. Throw in a Carpenter Brut Soundtrack and it sure is something. Alot of people sure put a lot of time and effort into this thing. Kudos!
If you're looking for Sci-Fi with clear answers, more nuanced Characters and a rich lore, this is not for you. It has a good, if simple-sounding Story that eventually just goes bananas. I'd love to say more, but obviously I won't.
This was Executive Produced by David Sandberg, who is supposedly STILL working on a proper Kung Fury Film, and that makes alot of sense.
If you think of this as a 45-minute (roughly) mind trip with some crazy and impressive visuals, it's a winner. Just don't expect something out of Star Trek anything. If you do, you'll find yourself making this face for a while.
After Blood Vessel, I wasn't expecting much from a similar-sounding, but otherwise very-different feature. Thankfully, I was pleasantly surprised!
