'QUEEN OF BLOOD': Zero Stars (Out of Five)

An ultra low-budget vampire flick; about a seductive female vampire, seeking a pregnant widow, and her child. The movie was written and directed by Chris Alexander; and it's a sequel/prequel to his 2012 indie vampire flick 'BLOOD FOR IRINA'. Shauna Henry once again plays Irina. I absolutely hate this movie!

Irina (Henry) is a vampire; roaming the woods, and hypnotizing all that she comes into contact with (before killing them, violently). No one seems to be able to resist her deadly powers. Irina is also on a bloody mission, to find a pregnant widow (Carrie Gemmell); so she can kill her, and steal her baby. A preacher (Nivek Ogre) is also looking for Irina, with the seeming intent to stop her. 

The film appears to have been shot almost entirely on low quality video (some of it was even, reportedly, recorded on an iPhone). The story plays out (entirely) with no dialogue, and no character motive (or story) explained. I admire the filmmaker's creative efforts; but (for me) it doesn't work at all, here. I found the movie to be almost unbearable to sit through, and I couldn't wait for it to be over! I haven't seen 'BLOOD FOR IRINA'; it is a bonus feature on the Blu-ray though, but I have absolutely no interest in seeing it (after seeing this). I will give credit to the film's score; it's very haunting and atmospheric. That's the movie's only redeemable quality, for me though.

The folk horror subgenre features themes of rural folklore, pagan beliefs, and the supernatural or uncanny elements associated with rural or isolated settings. Folk horror often explores the clash between ancient, often pre-Christian traditions and modern society, blurring the line between the natural and the supernatural.

The horror genre features stories that aim to elicit fear, suspense, and a sense of dread in its audience. Horror stories often explore themes related to the unknown, the supernatural, and the macabre, and they frequently evoke strong emotional reactions such as anxiety, terror, and unease.

Vampire Irina is reborn as a "vampiric" plague, a force of nature whose destiny is to lay waste to a fever dream vision of the Wild West.
