BLOOD VESSEL

I watched this really cool Australian World War II horror movie on Shudder this evening.
A group of survivors adrift on a lifeboat find themselves encountering a Nazi Warship that seems abandoned and they board it for shelter and to find a means to get back home to Allied waters, until they find something not quite alive in the bowls of the ship and they must fight their way out for freedom.
The Strigoi creature effects are amazing and very well done and I'm glad they did not go with the typical Hollywood Vampire look, the humour and conflict between the Allied shipmates was handled well, and the atmosphere on board the ship was daunting.
It's also good to have the heroes to be non-American as it's boring now in films. The ending was great and it would be interesting to see a sequel of sorts to this film.
I shall rate this flick a score of 9/10.
