As an insomniac I tend to be awake late at night. Oftentimes this is simply a thorn in my side, but on certain occasions it's a blessing in disguise. One such occasion was the other night when, overcome by an inability to sleep, I turned on the television and stumbled across the film BloodMonkey. The opening, I will admit, made me skeptical as to what the quality of the film would be, but once the film started, I was hooked. Granted, at times the film is campy, but it's held together by strong dialogue and performances that truly develop the characters. The actors are all young, yet they nail the accents they put on; I was convinced that Seth was actually either Scottish or Spanish until I checked out his IMDb page! Not only are the performances well played, but the film-making itself is quite good. The suspense is truly tangible. After about and hour and fifteen minutes of nothing happening, I was on my seat waiting for the next development. As a man with some connections, I was able to get a hold of the script. I was blown away by what the filmmakers did with it! It truly is amazing to think about...
