Blood Games (1990)
6/10
Bloodthirsty for the Games
17 March 2014
Yet another one on my list of Hard-to-Find DVDs and actually a horrendously bad movie in several different ways. The six stars all go to Laura Albert. Had she been like the others, this movie would have been mercifully forgotten, where it actually belongs. But Ms. Albert really caught my fancy despite this being basically a slasher movie and thus generally lower than snail droppings. It is at least a whole goddamn universe better than AEROBICIDE, but that's another story. Any movie that's going to focus on blood flowing down a girl's leg in a glorification of violence against poor, little innocent girls, with throwaway characters I couldn't care less about, isn't going to get my vote, no way. Anyway, I can't get this one, and remember too little for an actual fair review, and this shoddy little entry, just begging to be deleted, has proved to be one of my least-liked attempts, but guys, I can't help it, it's really just a cry for assistance, so if anybody can come to the rescue, especially with a pre- recorded memory card, that would be of such a merciful relief I'd gladly reward you. Currently, mid-November 2015, there is a spark of hope on this front, with negotiations being made with a board member. Until I note otherwise, I continue searching. Reward still being dangled!

There clearly was room for a much better flick than what emerged. Poor script with poor acting shot it to hell, but they definitely did not go Oscar-hunting with this one. This is a Class A exploitation movie and the director (Tanya Rosenberg) lucked out with Laura, the rest wasn't worth mentioning.

Thank you to the boring dude on the Net who spoke and spoke for what seemed like hours and hours about the movie, repeating himself over and over, but then added the trailer. Yes, it's a cheesy flick, but there were enjoyable moments. Especially Laura, mostly Laura. Only Laura, really...

addendum: April 2019. There just ain't no mercy. Currently watching this on YouTube. I don't know how to download there. So I surrender. I'd always be willing to pay for a proper release. It doesn't matter to me how grotty the movie is, I would still want it. I'M A LAURA ALBERT FAN.
