The story focuses on a group of 6 beautiful women called Thralls, referred to as "the white trash of vampires;" effectively a lower species of vampire. They don't kill people, they don't have the ability to turn their victims into vampires and they can't fly. These Thralls are under the control of Mr. Jones, the vampire who sired them, and whom they are trying desperately to escape. To do this they must complete a blood ritual which will turn them into full-blown vampires. Their plans hit a snag when Ashley, the younger sister of one of the Thralls, comes to visit. Ashley has no idea what her sister has been up to since moving to the big city nor what she has become..

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
...about being any good. Because "Thralls" does actually give a damn about being enjoyable and giving B-movie fanatics a fun time. Really, this might very well be the definition of modern day camp. A bunch of gorgeous, hot-looking half-vampire babes open up a nightclub in which unsuspecting, trouble-making ravers end-up as a midnight snack. The plan is to free themselves from slavery by vampire-lord Johnny (played by Lorenzo Lamas who strikes an intentional ridiculous note here) and hereby upgrade themselves from 'thralls' to full-blooded vampires. Johnny-boy has a plan for himself, though: summoning an evil demon to make himself an über-vampire. It's all good and enjoyable campy fun. The CGI demon-head near the end is so crappy that it doesn't even live up to Playstation 1 graphics. But that's all part of the game. And if you don't have any sense of humor at all, then don't even consider giving "Thralls" aka "Blood Angels" a watch.On a side-note: I always have to laugh with Lorenzo Lamas. Can't help it, when I hear his name pop up, because I've always considered him to be a not-so-very-good actor (and I'm being polite here). But in "Thralls" he's actually quite a bit of fun to watch. And to my surprise, he even managed to entertain me a second time very recently, when I popped in this Z-grade CGI-infested rubbish called "Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus" (proudly produced by The Asylum company). Good old Lorenzo really is a hoot and a whole barrel of fun in this one. Virtually all of his lines had me laughing out loud. And he seems very well aware of how to deliver his pun-filled nonsense. Seems like he does have some talent for something after all... Go, Lamas, go! A few more of these flicks, and you'll hit a strike! Anyway, I think I'm straying off topic here... But do support Lorenzo Lamas, and go watch "Shark Thralls vs. Blood Octopus" or... something... Which movie was I talking about again?
Well, I happened to wake up around 2 in the morning (long story) and caught Blood Angels a little less than halfway into the movie. It sounded cool (albeit too good to be true), so I read the summary. I expected it to be fairly cheesy.I wasn't disappointed. It was.... Cheez-Nip cheesy. Which is to say not-really-but-still-somewhat cheesy. (Anyone who's ever eaten a Cheez-Nip will understand.)However, it wasn't altogether intolerable. The Asian DJ was really funny (was he the one who played Roy in The Perfect Score?), and the girls were gorgeous. (Of course. Who'd watch a vampire movie with ugly chicks?) I like the whole grrrl-vampire team thing. Makes me feel adventurous. But that couldn't make me ignore the tragic quality of the special effects. When will they learn that if you're gonna make fake blood using CGs, it's not supposed to look radioactive? I hate it when they have that lava-lamp-looking orangey fake-tastic blood. Guess what? That's what they used. WHY??Also, if you rip out a guy's spine, he most likely will not look at you in horror for a few seconds before falling down.So anyway, the plot was fairly simple, and the acting was so-so. I liked how Jones was evil, but not SO evil that it was annoying. He was really funny at the end, actually. That was a pleasant surprise and a relief. And his voice was kinda cool.Oh, but one thing: if you receive the blood of 2 half-vampires, that doesn't necessarily make you a WHOLE vampire. It just makes you.... more half-vampire. Quality over quantity, right? Ah well.Overall, the movie wasn't spectacular, and the content was a little naughty for my conservative tastes, but it was pretty fun to watch.Yo.(....You get that if you saw the movie, see? :D)
The film was done pretty good. The actresses are also fine-> young, beautiful and talented (I especially liked Fiona Scott).But the story did not impress me. I wasn't excited when I watched this movie, I was somehow looking forward to the end of it. I also felt a little bit sleepy while watching it. When I watch film, I have to understand everything in it-> why is everything just the way it is.. But in this story, things are just not clear enough. I never knew why something happened.. It is like a story for a 5 years old children. Some things just don't make any sense.That's why I give this film only 6/10.
One of the common complaints in this country is that we tend to make oblique films, weird films, deliberately shocking films and boring drawing room pieces. I have often felt that Canadians should make more accessible films in addition to our trademark films sensitively or insensitively tackling subjects about necrophilia, auto-erotica, sexual abuse, magical lesbians, suicidal gay males and the assorted, at times inexplicably disturbing subject matter of David Cronenberg. Unfortunately, when Canadians try to make films that reach a broader audience what we often get are films like "Men with Brooms" that try too hard to be an accessible, popular 'Canadian' film. We also get films like "Thralls" that try hard to be American, but fail horrifically. A film like "Thralls" always feels like a low grade Canadian film. Low grade American films feel different, less amateurish even. If you are tempted to watch this for some of the babes listed in the cast (like Leah Cairns, who I hope becomes part of the regular Battlestar Galactica cast as Racetrack)take a chance on something else they have been in, chances are it will be more worth your while.
