bled starts as young female artist sai (sarah ferooqui) meets a mysterious yet charming man named renfield (jonathan oldham) and they end up back at her studio apartment where he gives her the bark of some sort of tree which is used as a hallucinogenic drug when melted down. sai quickly becomes hooked as she is whisked into an alternate fantasy reality which involve vampiric creatures. sai photographer friend royce (chris ivan cevic) becomes concerned about her as she drifts further from reality as she becomes addicted to the drug and can royce her kick the drug or will it end up ruining her life and why did the mysterious renfield get her addicted to the stuff in the first place and do the elaborate fantasy dream like trips have any significance. co produced and directed by christopher hutson this anaemic arty vampire flick is pretty much 95 minutes of tedium and is throughly deserving of all the bad comments. the script was written by the interestingly named sxvleithan essex (how the hell do you even pronounce that anyway. ) who is also credited as production designer and his unusual name is actually more interesting than anything that ever happens in bled and i would guess that the makers set out to make a very serious fantasy based horror film with a strong moral message about the dangers of drugs and drug addiction and date rape drug at it core. the majority of the film is spent on the drug issue with sai initial introduction to the drug and how great the first time was and how she becomes hopelessly addicted which eventually destroys her and her life and her friends lives. it never explained where she keeps getting this drug from as renfield only gives her a little bit during their initial meeting but hey and who cares. the first twenty odd minutes of bled are really boring and dull and the following hour or so aren not much better before a mess of a final ten minutes which involve a vampiric monster and renfield making a reappearance. the moral elements are patronising and the fantasy elements seem like an afterthought and the horror is none existent. there also the dialogue which is awful and every sentence tries to be profound and have loads of hidden depth and just tries to have so much meaning that it becomes tiresome to listen to. the concept of the film is terrible and so is the execution as there absolutely no gore or violence to speak of and the entire thing is set inside an apartment that doesn not appear to have any lights. the fantasy setting looks a little better but it sparsely seen and underused. there are no scares here and no atmosphere and to make matters even worse the makers have decided to used muted very faded colours which i just hate and find annoying and what wrong with a nice colourful image. it seems to me to be a fad with current filmmakers who seem to think that it automatically makes a film cool or adds atmosphere which it most certainly doesn not and more often than not it just makes your film look dull and drab as evidenced here with bled. this probably had a low budget and was shot in los angeles and it has reasonable production values but it all so dull. the acting do not impress me and i do not care for or about anyone which is never a good sign. bled is a terrible vampire film that goes for psychological horror as well as physical with all sorts of parallels to real life dug addiction and what it can do to little or no effect because the whole thing is so dull. there might be an audience for a film such as this but considering the other comments not that big a one.
