Piper (Heather Wilder) is a college freshman who it at wirs seems could
be happier to move out from home and especially away from her
over-protective mother (Ursula Coyote) ... and even though Piper is of the
somewhat nerdy variety, her introduction into college life couldn't be
happier, she makes friends immediately, attends a great and
alcohol-drenched party the first night, and immediately bonds with lesbian
Ashley (Rachel Corona), so much so that even though she's got a boyfriend
at home, she acts not at all discouraging when Ashley makes a move on her
... on a seemingly deserted desert road, where suddenly two girls (Laina
Grendle, Hayley Derryberry) turn up in a muscle car, to first harrass
them, then chase them down in a wild car chase. At first they seem to be
nothing but your usual bullies, and Ashley, tough-as-nails under her soft
skin, is willing to fight them hand-on-hand - but then she's suddenly shot
dead ... There is more to the two girls, Sadie (Grendle) and Katie
(Derryberry) though than meets the eye: They are not just bullies who went
a little over the top because they got their hands on a gun, there's
something much more sinister to them - like they have a serum at their
disposal to bring the dead back as zombies ... and promptly use it on
Ashley, to pretty much force Piper to behead her. But that's not the worst
of it yet, they also have brought back their own father (Kevin Wester) as
a zombie, and daddy was a Nazi, and with him leading in spirit, they want
to create enough zombies to create the Fourth Reich. They don't kill Piper
because she's apparently pure in race, and would rather accept her into
their ranks, but when Piper refuses and makes an escape attempt, the girls
capture her mother and torture her to break Piper - but Piper is not a
girl without resources of her own, which can only lead to ultimate
disaster ... Blood Soaked might not be the most
intellectually challenging film, nor does it have to say too much relevant
about Nazis in today's society ... and it doesn't pretend to: This is fun
exploitation cinema with definite roots in 1970's grindhouse entertainment
that just tells its violent and sexy and sensationalist plot about lesbian
college chicks and zombies and Nazis in a fast-paced anything-goes way.
And since the movie seems to keep its tongue in cheek in all the right
moments, you will laugh, cringe and be shocked in all the right places,
which makes this one a pretty cool party movie!!!
