blood for irina is not without a few minor hitches. as mentioned, the film is dialogue - free but for some voiceover provided by irina that operates as a chapter intro or to punctuate an unfolding scene. for example, at a point in the film, irina utters the words “she is like me…lost…sinking” which in context works perfectly, but is delivered with robotic sounding effects on the actor’s voice that tends to be more grating than emotionally empty. this effect is used throughout the work any time irina delivers an address. if the desired effect was to distance the viewer from irina, then it works; if it was to further endear us to her plight, it may work counter to that for some viewers .

“blood for irena” is a classic example of why horror movie fans (and fangoria editors) shouldn’t try to make horror movies .
experimental and nearly dialogue - free, blood for irina extinguishes any preconceptions one might have of its director’s association heading one of the most enduring horror magazines. alexander’s artful approach is quite daring considering the lure of his name to loyal readers, some of whom may not be receptive to the film’s unconventional style. rather than deliver a patronizing bloodbath, alexander opts for starkly composed imagery, and a surreal quality that allows adventurous viewers a glimpse into the mind of irina, and, perhaps, that of alexander’s own. blood for irina is clearly a labor of love for the director, one dripping just as much in existentialism as the gory stuff .
personally, i fall in - between these two camps. i can appreciate the rollin - esque take, making every nuance overly meaningful and melodramatic, but i like me some blood sucker action as well. so there were times during blood for irina when i felt it did run on a bit long .
, those who prefer their vampires on the more artsy fartsy side will have a lot to like with blood for irina. but if you prefer action oriented or twinkling style vamps, you’re going to be bored to tears by this one .
irina, victimized by a bloodsucker in a past life, now lives secluded in a dilapidated shoreside motel. she spends most of her time wandering the sparsely populated streets in search of sustenance, just as she has over the past century. traumatized by memories, irina suffers from an inexplicable sickness that not even blood can remedy. the only other souls connected to irina are a hotel manager – a servant - of - sorts who cleans up irina’s bloody messes – and a prostitute (carrie gemmell) enamored by her lady - of - the - night counterpart. they will each need to find a way to cope with irina’s ensuing demise, but not before more blood is shed .
in advance of its official release, blood dynasty - a film by chris alexander is available for purchase on vimeo on demand right now .

this will be a hard slog for most movie fans, but for the right people it' s fantastic. recommended .
queen of blood follows the rebirth of irina (once more portrayed by shauna henry), who rises from the center of the earth, ready to bring a wave of death and madness to the battered wastelands of the wild west. a parasite who roams the alternately breathtaking and dangerous rural landscape, irina leaves of path of bloody destruction and victims as she aims her sights on a young widow whose unborn child may hold the secret to irinas longevity .
all in all, if you don’t mind wordless, art house films with a horror slant, blood for irina is going to be something to seek out. it’s currently playing festivals. but be forewarned, if you lack the patience, this film could be quite an ordeal .
there are several distinct motifs permeating blood for irina, the film debut of fangoria magazine’s editor - in - chief chris alexander – visceral images of blood, of course, being the primary operative in this intimate glimpse at the abject loneliness of its vampiric protagonist. blood - stained drains are also a significant symbolic component of the film, one which finds bloodsucking irina (shauna henry) in the midst of her own descent, spiraling downward over decades of feeding on hapless victims. door knobs and neon exit signs seemingly point her toward a sad finality, one she may welcome after lifetimes of predatory behavior .

with some engrossing music playing throughout paired with some interesting sound effects, blood for irina would fill any open minded blood sucker fan’s ears and eyes as it also offers a lot of fantastic imagery in its short screen time. i also liked the dank feel to the vampire lifestyle as irina is definitely not leading the glamorous life of a vampire many films would lead you to believe. she lives more like a leech, leaving her hotel only to feed and coming back and vomiting up the blood. the story doesn’t delve too much into the vamp mythos, but this almost feels like a film about a woman who thinks she is a vampire rather than one who is one by the way her body rejects drinking the blood .

here' s some recently unearthed behind the scenes shots from my first film, blood for irina. we made the picture in a greasy, decayed motel called the riviera, in burlington, just outside of toronto. rented the dump for a month. once we left, they kicked out the hookers and winos and boarded it up. months later they took a wrecking ball to it. now its a turfed over lot, waiting for the birth of a condo. somewhere, buried beneath the landfill are traces of our dna and plenty of fake blood, massaged in with buckets of other dna, myriad human fluids and real blood. rip riviera !

with the isolation of a jean rollin film it’s as if the characters in this movie are the only ones who exist. director chris alexander seems to have created a world specifically for his story. “blood for irina” also sports a small stanley kubrick influence. alexander’s use of color and classical music felt like a strange “eyes wide shut” spinoff at times, providing a touch of class often missing from a feature debut. the movie has a lot of promise. it is shot well and there is obviously talent behind the lens. the problem is that this movie takes a great deal of patience to stick with. ”blood for irina” is made up of lingering shots with minimal dialogue, likely…
the heavy rollin influence tones down slightly in the earlier blood for irina, whose title tips it off immediately as an homage to jess franco' s female vampire. here our different incarnation of irina is a more vulnerable bloodsucker whose body functions are falling apart, causing her to expel the blood she consumes to survive. her human handler (producer goodfellow, who also appears in a smaller role in the second film) runs the seaside motel she' s turned into her lair, and in a desolate haze, she wanders the neighborhood contemplating her impending oblivion. into her world steps pink (gemmell), a young prostitute who will play a pivotal role in irina' s fate .

. very weird thing to stumble across... but i really liked this movie. and the lead actress, miriam rizea, was fantastic. ah, life in strange cinema ...
the new film will further deconstruct the vampire myth created in “irina” and is currently in pre - production and will be released in spring 2014 .
blood for irina is about a dying woman who may be a vampire in the last days of her life. the woman is played by a toronto dancer named shauna henry, a newcomer to acting. the second lead in the film is alexander’s wife carrie, who plays a downtrodden prostitute whose life parallels that of the vampire woman .
irina (shauna henry) has been a vampire a long time. she spends her nights wandering around the nameless metropolis she lives in, always on the lookout for fresh victims to bring back to her dilapidated motel. there' s a problem, though. while she hungrily drains their blood, she can' t seem to keep it down. every night, she exsanguinates another victim, and vomits their life blood back up. she' s growing weak, and desperate .
irina, a dying 100 - year - old vampire, a motel manager and a broken prostitute live a in a world of literal and figurative decay .
the film opens with a montage that establishes the cold, lonely world inhabited by irina. images of abandoned motels, frozen landscapes, and the vast ocean are less - than - subtle symbols for each characters’ alienation. their co - dependency is akin to the interrelationships of people existing on the fringe of society who share in a damaging lifestyle (drugs, prostitution), provided here with a gothic twist. the film is composed almost as if a slideshow devoted to their inescapable desolation. irina traverses these landscapes with an unquenchable thirst that goes beyond blood – she longs for a humanity lost ages ago .
like the previous films, the vampire irina is more of a “karmic” character, a dream that is constantly placed in different incarnations in different times and worlds and representing different emotional and psychological states. like the previous films, blood dynasty is slow, hypnotic, immersive and challenging and is driven by alexander’s own pulsing, swirling electronic score. and like the other films…it’s soaked in dripping, ultra - red blood !

“ blood for irina ” is meant to be an immersive experience and indeed it is, i’ve never seen anything like it. it is a hypnotic, bombastic, audacious, challenging & enveloping cinematic experience. but do all of those fancy words mean it’s any good? well…i liked it but i didn’t love it. i don’t mind being challenged by any film i watch, that’s the goal isn’t it? i want to come away from a movie feeling like i’ve been through a struggle of sorts, where i care about the characters and what’s happening to them. where i leave the theater thinking about them and what might have happened to them after the film is done. “blood for irina” isn’t that kind of movie. alexander’s slavish desire to tell the story with images without dialog really makes it hard to follow after a while. i just got swept away by the way it all looked and forgot about why it was all happening. if you’re looking for a movie that moves… this ain’t for you .
it’s really hard to write a review for a film like this. alexander probably wouldn’t agree with me but he has taken on the role of auteur here. how could he be called anything else though? he not only wrote & directed “ blood for irina”, he also wrote the score for it, edited & co - shot the movie (with co - star david goodfellow). a true labor of love, this film defies all expectations that one would have for a film about a dying vampire & how she goes about the last days of her life. she doesn’t go on a bender wantonly slaughtering people right & left, she just sort of slowly gives up. emphasis on slowly…

both henry and singleton deserve kudos for how they handle the vampire feeding scenes, which alexander lavishes lots of attention on: the lovingly - filmed sequences of neck - biting, blood trickling down skin and blood passed from mouth to mouth suggest this is the filmmaker’s way of expressing the sexuality of the vampire film. cast and filmmaker give these moments the kind of feverish focus that communicates that idea with vigor .
speaking of kubrick, a lot of this film felt “kubrick - ian” to me. alexander is a major fan of directors like the previously mentioned jean rollin and jess franco and their influence is indeed evident here but i just felt a lot of kubrick as the movie progressed. there’s a scent of stanley in the air here and i don’t think chris would disagree with me. during a q & a after the film he admitted an affinity for “eyes wide shut” and there are times during “blood for irina” where the pacing was identical to kubrick’s last film .
all these things are dreams come true for alexander, who read fangoria ever since he was a child .
blood for irina has more in common with the slower burning films of the ’70s than any contemporary takes on vampire lore. think jean rollin’s la vampire nue (the nude vampire) (1970) more so than jim mickle’s stake land (2010), the former also featuring a woman wandering the streets with a blood condition. alexander’s work may be a little easier to interpret than some of the ’70s offerings, but is no - less - worthy of comparison. this is especially true in alexander’s decision to avoid gimmickry often associated with today’s homages. his film is never less than heartfelt and doesn’t stoop to mockery to wink at the audience .
blood for irina is an impressive first effort, especially considering all the hats worn by alexander on the production. it’s refreshing to see someone in his position embrace vulnerability to create uncompromising and horrific art. his delicate handling of the material shows true reverence for the time period he’s referencing, but with a contemporary look and feel that provides us a “chris alexander film” and not “chris alexander does his best jess franco impression”. it may not appeal to every type of horror fan, but those versed in artsy european vampire films, or those at least curious, should find plenty to appreciate here .

is all about style over substance. this plot summary is mostly guesswork, pieced together from what can be gleaned from watching the scenes play out, intercut with flashbacks to irina' s life before vampirism, and the event that turned her .
first seen crawling out of a lake in a soggy white dress stained with blood, the wordless irina (henry) spends her opening minutes of queen of blood skulking around the pastoral outskirts of a town and laying waste to anyone who crosses her path. if she looks more than a bit like the title character from jean rollin' s the living dead girl, that' s hardly accidental since she even recreates her predecessor' s murderous method of plunging her sharp fingers into her victims' flesh to draw out their blood. title cards split the action into

alexander and his small crew overcome the deficiencies normally associated with microbudget films by creating a wholly convincing environment. he uses the scant locations exceptionally well, bisecting nicely composed shots with alleyways, staircases, and other objects to provide a sense of irina’s duality. the music score, also created by alexander, is evocative and a nice accompaniment for scenes of both contemplation and bloodletting. each of these components, as well as the solid performances, are successes in favor of alexander’s overall vision .
her faithful companion (david goodfellow), who remains nameless throughout, slavishly follows after her, cleaning up her messes, pining for her, but never able to really connect. she gets weaker and weaker, never able to slake her thirst. until she meets pink (carrie gemmell), a prostitute who appears to be in as hopeless a place as irina. perhaps these two can find a connection, a reason to go on together. or perhaps something more macabre is in store .

“in the blood” is a film for which it’s hard to find something even remotely positive to say. even the scenes that should have some sort of action - based, visceral charge are flat and inconsequential (and far too rare). it looks downright hideous, as if most of it was shot on a go pro. it could be used as a what - not - to - do example in an editing class; coverage feels off, the pacing is leaden, and the film develops absolutely no visual language of its own. the acting ranges from serviceable to simply dreadful, the plotting is utter nonsense, and, again, there isn’t even engaging action to make up for the silly narrative .
electrolytes (ie. sodium and potassium) affect the amount of water in our body fluids as well as muscle function and other important processes. this experiment evaluated how metabolism of electrolytes changes in microgravity. data showed that younger crew members tend to have a lower body mass index and more muscular crew members show an increased blood concentration of potassium. data also showed changes in hormones involved in signaling in the central nervous system. such changes could affect blood pressure, cardiac output, and balance in long - term flight. these factors will be useful in evaluating nutritional status and physical and mental activities of crewmembers during and after flight .

be warned, this is a very slow moving film that doesn' t directly engage with the viewer plot - wise. it will appeal to a relatively small set of horror fans. if you don' t enjoy the films of jodorowsky, rollin or at least jess franco (though there' s no nudity, or really even any sex here), then this will most likely not be the movie for you. for fans of this kind of film, however ,

that kiss magazine he referred to was kiss: monster – the official album and tour magazine, which came out recently in time for a new kiss album. he co - produced the magazine with gene simmons and the rest of the band .
blood dynasty shows alexander sharpening his aesthetic approach. the photography shows a new carefulness in how shots are framed and composed. the editing displays a sharper command of rhythm, with certain shots and patterns of shots artfully revived throughout the film like the visual equivalent of motifs in a musical composition. the score also has a new sense of grandeur, with some score cues having a hea

we could all do the same thing with a lava lamp screensaver for the opening titles, a bunch of still images with some public domain classical music over the top, half an hour of amateur vampire footage, and a couple of days playing around with microsoft movie maker .
tori has had a passion for horror and music ever since she was a little girl. she got bit by the writing bug in high school where she was involved in both the school newspaper and the yearbook. while getting her bachelors degree, she took journalism and creative writing classes where her passion grew even stronger. now, in between work and family, she spends all of her spare time indulging in music, horror movies, and nerdy fandoms, all while running / assisting one of the biggest horror groups on facebook and writing for various websites .
ava and her new husband get into an altercation (with danny trejo, natch) at a nightclub and the action promised by casting the star of
haywire
and
fast & furious 6
in a lead role feels like it will finally be fulfilled. and yet even this bit of fighting in a fancy dress doesn’t work. it’s shot with constant strobe lights meant to replicate the club setting, filmed from horrendous angles, and poorly choreographed. even with that, i found myself longing for it half an hour later when the film gives up on action for its missing - man plotline .
“i’ve always read fangoria. it was like my gateway drug as a child. it was up on the stands and i’d save up my money and it was a big adventure for me to read these magazines and it opened me up to a weird, arcane, counter - culture, ” he said .
“with my first film, which was an education in filmmaking, i created an unconventional, mood piece tackling themes such as death, birth, redemption, addiction and loneliness,  says alexander. with queen of blood, i will continue to expand on those themes and fuse them into a horror / western hybrid which will make it a darker, stranger and visceral film experience. im excited that im working with autonomy pictures again as they give me complete creative freedom to bring my vision to life. ”
“it’s a new york magazine that’s been there for 32 years, that’s where its heart and soul is, on 42nd street, ” alexander said. however, the magazine’s art designers are in new jersey, ad sales department in los angeles and he lives in oakville. the last time he went to new york was in february .
this is a strange one. i' m not sure if i liked it but i' ll never forget it. very dark and surreal and sometimes really beautiful. obviously a low budget film but very arty and interesting if a little too slow for my taste. the girl in it was fantastic and the music was creepy .
the 38 - year - old has loved all things horror since he was three - years - old. he’s watched the films, read the magazines and cut out the pictures and put them up on his wall even at an early age. it was a strange hobby for a young boy and a passion he never grew out of .
what makes this film ballz out fun is the over the top gore and the super - fun cast. first, the gore. this film doesn’t hold back in the axe - hackery department as bunyan lops off heads, limbs, and torsos with one mighty swing. it’s all rendered in the crudest of special effects that border on animation, but the sheer glee in which the blood splatters in this film make it pretty damn fun and made me forgive the crude cg. there’s a lot of gore here to enjoy from start to bloody finish .

ava’s dad tells her in flashback that she’s “going to learn to go beyond the limit” and yet “in the blood” is defined by its limitations. it’s not gritty enough to work as the story of a damsel in distress in a foreign land. it’s not tough enough to deliver as action escapism. it is limited in every way. not a split second of it feels real or genuine, so one is tempted to view it as b - movie escapism, but it’s way too boring to work as that. “in the blood” never even gives carano much of a chance to do what she does well. there’s almost no action to speak of in the “what happened to my husband” middle act. and so this physically powerful but emotionally flat performer is forced to carry a narrative about which it is literally impossible to care. your mind will wander. you’ll start ticking off great luis guzman performances. you’ll wonder if certain scenes were shot on an iphone. you’ll entirely give up on caring what happened to derek and just hope something, anything interesting happens to ava. and you’ll wish you were watching a better danny trejo movie.
