My review was written in December 1990 after watching the film on RCA/Columbia video cassette.
Stalker horror mixes uneasily with baseball in "Blood Games", an attractively packaged but uninteresting entry for video fans.
Laura Albert toplines as Babe, the pitcher for her dad Ross Hagen's all-girl softball team. Barnstorming through the South, the gals predictably raise the ire of local good ole boys by whipping them on the field.
Led by evil Gregory Cummings, the men rape the women, and film turns into an extended chase after Hagen is stabbed to death trying to protect them.
What follows is a survival epic for the scantily clad femmes trying to defend themselves in the woods with baseball bats (natch). Picture's only imaginative scene is quite hokey: a thug grabs the team's catcher, who signs a pitch to Albert, who proceeds to bean the killer with a stone and save her battery mate.
Elsewhere director Tanya Rosenberg's work is below par, with one girl killed via an arrow in the back, displayed sticking out of a highly visible block underneath the actress' shirt. Overuse of slow motion during the violent scenes and jiggling around the basepaths is another drawback.
Cast is attractive but never convincing as athletes. Acting is generally poor.
