BLOOD RITES

[indianasmith]

Brain Damage films keeps TRYING to come up with a decent, low-budget horror movie to equal some of their earlier successes, like DEATH FACTORY and CADAVERELLA.  This one is better than many of their titles, but still a little slow.  In the beginning of the film a girl is running through the streets in a white nightgown.  She reaches the safety of her house, only to have her father stab her to death as her mysterious, white-robed pursuer looks on . . .
   then the story  morphs into a tale about a girl named Rachel and her Dad moving into that same town, and everyone is telling her she needs to have sex with a guy ASAP because "this town isn't safe for virgin girls."  They talk about sex a good bit in this movie, but she never has any, and eventually the white-robed figure comes after her . . . but a mysterious, blind black preacher intervenes. 
   All in all, this is a pretty strange film.  It's not unwatchably bad, like some Brain Damage features, but it isn't very good either. Anyone else see it?

Brain Damage Films is a distributor and not a studio. The more successful films are mostly the ones they produced themselves like said Death Factory. Cadaverella is not old, however. And Blood Rites does in fact blow.
