Fangoria Blood Drive II (2005) 6/10

I used to have a subscription to Fangoria until they decided to give me terrible customer service, that being said, I still dig the magazine. Having seen the first blood drive collection, I decided to see if this was as mediocre or perhaps an improvement. Mediocre is still the work to describe this series.

The Blood Drive series is a collection of horror shorts from around the country displaying a variety of ideas, executions, and sadly a variety of quality.

Once again, like the first blood drive, the collection is a mixed bag. The first and last shorts are actually quite good, about an avenging ghost and the job from hell respectively but also included are a few totally amateurish shorts that look like they had very little development even less talent. There's nothing wrong with having a low budget, especially for a short. But if I'm half way through a short I shouldn't be bored already. A director should be able to keep my attention for at least 10 minutes.

Check it out if you love short horror, but this one's a rental hands down.

Gore- varies
Nudity - none
Overall - 6/10
