I have been waiting for this movie to come out for a couple of years. I have seen it and all the others and I must say that this really is the best Subspecies film out there. Nicolaou really has created his own little vampire universe with these movies. Radu is back once again to regain Michelle, his relunctant consort. This time she is under the care of a doctor who's not all that he seems. the lines between good and bad are not as defined in this one, making it a more brilliant piece of filmmaking. if you are familiar with the previous Subspecies films or just want to watch a great one, chose this movie.

In this third sequel to Full Moon Pictures Subspecies series,Radu Vladilas returns once again to seek revenge on his beloved Michelle.After escaping Radu's foul castle lair,Michelle has last hope for salvation as the last of her humanity slips away.After being brought to a clinic(hospital)in Bucharest by a woman named Ana,Michelle is promised relief from her thrist for blood.Doctor Necluscu and Ana Liza must now protect Michelle from the most powerful vampire master of all time,Radu Vladilas.

This is a really cool vampire film from the 90's but there is something missing.Oh,yes the great effects and music.

If you have not watched Subspecies One, Two, and Three yet, go pick those up first. Whatever you do, don't let this be your first introduction to Radu.

Bloodstorm:Subspecies 4 starts out wrong and goes downhill from there. I absolutely loved the first three movies, so I don't know what happened here for the writers and directers to wander so far off Radu's well loved trail of blood.

Where Bloodlust left off, Radu had fallen over the stone wall chasing the Bloodstone that Becky had tossed away, and wound out impaled on a dead tree and burning in the sunlight. Bloodstorm picks up with Radu still burning, but the limb breaks and dumps him into a pool of water just as the sun sets, so Radu can grab up the Bloodstone and run into the castle.

We also left Michele wrapped in a body bag by her sister Becky, in order that she could flee the castle with her and Mel. Here we pick up with a car wreck, and the only one left "alive" is Michele, who is picked up by a pretty blonde doctor named Anna and taken to a hospital.

Cheesier even still, we meet two new vampires in this installment; Dr. Nicolescu, an evil doctor-vampire with a horrible bowl haircut, and Ash, a minion of Radu's who has been looking after his holdings in Bucharest. And speaking of hairdos, Ash looks like a pasty, older Peter Frampton.

The Dr. Nicolescu vampire wants Radu's bloodstone so that he can live without drinking blood any longer, whereas Ash and his fledgling Serena simply want to keep their home.

Everyone is against Radu in this movie, as usually they are, but the additional characters are horrid and the plotline is dumber and cheesier than even I can stomach. Also missing is much of the scenery from Romania that we were treated to in the first movies, and the "liveliness" is gone, replaced a fouled attempt at going gothic instead of leaving the horror to Radu.

I was very disappointed in this last installment of the Subspecies series, but who knows? Perhaps Radu could come back again, and make up for the mess he left with Bloodstorm. If you are a rabid fan of the series like I am, then you will want your copy of Bloodstorm, otherwise just watch the first three.

After escaping Radu's lair,Radu,and his ugly Mummy.Michelle is left with her new friend ANA.Her sister and Mel died in a car wreck.Radu has the Bloodstone and that means feeding time for Michelle.What will happen!Hit cast,setting,and story.Anders Hove,Denice Duff,and the Bloodstone return for the fourth in the series.HAVE A TASTE OF THE BLOODSTONE!

If you really want to appreciate Anders Hove's talent as an actor, you're better off watching old tapes of ABC's GENERAL HOSPITAL, where he played Cesar Faison. Leave SUBSPECIES off your viewing list.

I was really looking forward to seeing this movie. However, I was taken back by how poorly it was done. If they make another one I hope they put more time into it. I think they should have entitled it bloodbath instead of bloodstorm because you feel like they are bathing in the past gorly of the previous suspecie movies.

I had been patiently waiting for this movie to come out and I was very happy with it. The very begining sucked you in and the movie kept you in. I am glad they are going to make a part 5 because this is one set of movies I will follow forever.

I was a little skptical of this movie when I saw it in the video store. I hated the cover. It wasent very original. I thought this was the only subspecies movie that had a cover that sucked. Right from start the movie was bad. It started out with these flashbackes you couldent even see and in the middle of them it said subspecies 1 2 3 and 4. the movie starts out with all the main charecters from the previous movie dead from a car wreak.They take the main charecter to a hospital where this mad scientist says he will take care of her.Through the movie there are new charecters that are very bad actors and are very boring. there is nohing strang or new in this movie.It is just a very traditional vampire film.I felt they just put this film out as fast as they could and dident work very hard on the story.I didnt like the way Radu came back.It was unexplained.Radu is like superman You cant kill him.

i have seen all of the subspecies films and i enjoyed this one almost as much as the third installment. Ms Duff was as good as ever but the standout characters for me was Ash and his fledgling. There is some nice suspence as to weather Michelle is becomming more of a full force of evil or holding on to her humanity.it is well worth seeing.

I think they made this movie to fast, it starts off with the main characters from subspecies 3 in a car wreck. but you can plainly see it's not the same stars. they do a bunch of flashbacks, even with scenes from the first Subspecies movie. which didn't make sense. And then Radu comes back from oblivion. just like that. Why..who knows. I just hope, if they decide to make another one. they should explore Denice Duff's Character more.
