Review – House of Blood (2006)

A doctor gets into a car wreck with a prison bus, and the escaping convicts take him prisoner. That much of the story took half an hour to tell. Then they end up in a house full of religious wackos who turn out to be vampire/zombie things. That's another ten minutes or so. Then the whole thing repeats. Is director Olaf Ittenbach trying to make some kind of point about destiny or the cyclical nature of the universe? Or is he merely a crapslinger who can't fill 90 minutes of screen time without repeating himself? With the exception of Jurgen Prochnow (who must have been unusually desperate for cash and/or in need of a gig that would take only 20 minutes or so to shoot), all the actors in this stinker appear to have "not ashamed to deliver wretchedly dreadful dialogue" on their vitae. Also released as Chain Reaction. Wish I'd skipped it
