In My Blood Machines Review, I see if this film sequel to the epic Carpenter Brut music video Turbo Killer was worth the wait, or if this machine is broken!

My only regret is that I found out about Blood Machines too late to be part of the kickstarter.
I 100% totally agree!!
That final image of the move will be stuck in my head forever
Theres so much great imagery in this movie, I think half the movie is burned into my head!! But yes, there is alot being said in that final image;) Thanks for watching!
Left a comment 3 years ago. Question. Would this ever make it to blu ray ?
I would pay real money to see much much more of this universe.
As would I!! And hopfully we'll have the chance to if they expand this universe more in the future;) If you want a little bit more, you can check out the music video they did before the movie that started it all, Turbo Killer! Thanks for watching;)
Yeah 3 eps isn't enough
I would take 300 if they offered!!🤘😆🤘
Thanks for the great review! I got associate producer credit for this movie to help get the visuals even better, really glad i did that, it turned out great.
Thanks for contributing to such a great film! I really enjoyed this movie, and hope we get more like it. Thanks for watching!
It felt to me like a small chapter out of a much larger work. I too vote to see more from this universe. Gorgeous and bizarre.
It really did! I'd love to see more stories in this universe too; let's hope the success of this gets these guys some more funding!! Thanks for watching;)
They need to have a physical release of this on laser disk. But I'll settle for bluray
That would be very fitting! I don't even own a Laser Disc player anymore, but if this came out on LD I'd probably buy one, Lol!! Thanks for watching;)
Laserdisk? Lmao do they even make them anymore? Ill take my copy on vhs lol
Beautiful movie! Hoping they expand that universe would love to see more.
Me too; I hope they get some much deserved exposure because of this and it leads to bigger things!! I expect we'll see more from Seth Ickerman in the not to distant future;) Thanks for watching!!
Just watched the series, it was amazing. I really hope that they make more because as a fan of synthwave and scifi, it blended so much of the best attributes together.
As of now there's no announcements as to weather they will be doing anything else in this universe or not, but I'm with ya; I really hope they do, cause what we got so far was amazing!! Thanks for watching;)
That toaster that you talked about at the very end there:
"Would anyone like any toast!? :D"
...
"Dismantle him, you don't know what the little bleed is like"
LOL!!🤘😂🤘
That unicorn animation was the greatest thing I have ever seen haha. Great review bro!
Thanks! Not many movies get my top rating, so I don't get to break out the Spectabulous Unicorn animation to often;) This one is totally worth it though! Thanks for watching;)
Sold me in the first 5 words of your review........ Holy shit this is awesome....... That was enough for me to go watch it lol
Lol, happy to hear it;) Hope you like it, and thanks for watching!
BPRD shirt gets a like every time! : )
Great review too, so hyped for this movie.
If that's the case, I'll have to start wearing it more often!! It's an awesome movie; you can see it on Shudder right now;) Thanks for watching!!
Great review of this sci fi movie.
Fucking amazing describes it perfectly, and it seems my feelings towards it are pretty much matching your enthusiasm for it. So, the story is great, visuals are sick as fuck and the score, my god the score, the synths are insane and morph with the story magnificently. If I didn't know any better I would think this was a transposition of a 2000AD comic, which is obviously a good thing, but being an original story makes it way "more better". In short, let's all pray these guys will not stop at this and keep delivering this amazingly sick shit for years to come.
Happy to hear that you liked it! This movie was fucking awesome, and I cant wait to hear what these guys are working on next!! Check out the music video Turbo Killer that they made before this movie; it's kind of a prequel... kinda;) Thanks for watching!!
Just saw on Shudder. The soundtrack transported me back to the 80s. It was thrilling.
In France I was really lucky and was able to see it in theater
OMG, I'm very envious! I would have LOVED to see this visual masterpiece in a theater; I'm sure it was awesome;) Thanks for watching!!
@@JacobAnders oh it was!
It really really was something I'll remember
It also contained a behide the scene, explaining all the making
You're welcome!!
J'ai vu BLOOD MACHINES il y a quelques jours j'ai pris une claque ! C'est sublime dans le style METAL HURLANT
Another great review. This is on my list and you've definitely just bumped it up
Thanks! This movie was one of the most interesting and unique movies I've seen in a LONG time!! Thanks for watching;)
@@JacobAnders Sadly, I don't have Shudder at the moment but might have to rectify that ASAP
@@GameOverMovieReviews you can get a free week or so if you sign up, and cancel it after the week if you dont like it. It's a pretty cool service if your into the horror/theiller/sci fi genres though;)
@@JacobAnders good idea! Cheers
I'm not familiar with this streaming platform's distribution practices. Since this was released on Shudder and not Netflix, do you think that this may be allowed to have a DVD or Blu-ray release? Have you heard anything to that effect?
As of right now the only way to get a bluray copy is if you backed the kickstarter... maybe theyll offer one eventuly, but no word as of yet.
You can get at least one week free trial on shudder right now, so if nothing else you can see it for free, and cancel afterwards if you dont like the service. It's a nice service if you like horror, scifi, and thrillers. Its run by AMC. Thanks for watching;)
Sure visuals are top notch, it's rest of the movie that had me wanting something else. I didn't not find the story engaging at all, I feel it lacked the intensity and dark mystery of the music video. I still think it is the greatest music video of all times, I had it on loop for days when I first saw it. This is a one and done for me. I wish it wasn't so.
Admittedly by expanding on the story it does take away from the dark mystery of Turbo Killer. And while I really enjoyed this, I can see how it's not gonna click with everybody. It is an absolutely beautiful film though, with such an imaginative gorgeous style that makes it worth at least one watch;) Thanks for watching!
Blood Machines introduced me to synthwave - the soundtrack is now a constant companion while in lockdown.
Really enjoyed your review and breakdown of what I just experienced. The movie kinda put me in mind of the culmination of Neon Genesis Evangelien - well, the evolving and ultimate visual anyway :)
Thanks for the video! 🤘🏽 🖖🏽 x
Awesome! I've been playing this soundtrack on repeat for a while now too;) Check out more of Carpenter Brut's stuff; you'll probably be in to it as well. Thanks for watching;)
If you love the movie, wait until you try the new virtual pinball machine! ruclips.net/video/GzvEm6z0mV4/видео.html
Yo, bit late but great review man.
Sorry,
The visuals/cinematography were awesome.
But the "movie" made no sense.
Found a good movie to watch on acid
If you watch this while trippin' your head would explode!!
@@JacobAnders well, now I definitely have to watch it.
@@Fr6 Lol
Killer visuals and a Keanu Reeves quote...sign my ass up!!!
The only thing that could make this movie cooler is if Keanu Reeves was in it!! BTW, the guy who directed Kung Furry (A movie I'm pretty sure you like!) was a producer on this movie;) There's some trivia for ya Trivia Chick!!
HOLY FUCK!!! Yeah I adore Kung Fury. I was gonna say some of the visuals made me think of that one...but I figured it was just the 80s aesthetic. That's so awesome. Btw...how did things go with the toaster?
@@TrivialTheater It was short lived; we're seeing other appliances now.
That's fair...sometimes things don't pop with toasters
@@TrivialTheater lol;)
I agree 💯. Visual masterpiece.
The quality of the story of this movie is up for debate; I liked it, some have not, but it cant be denied that it is a visual masterpiece! Thanks for watching!!
I loved this movie, it reminded me of the 90's where i'd discover a new Manga movie on the sci-fi channel somthing that blew my mind and toook me to a place thats futuristic but also not in this dimension. like Genocyber/ cyber city/ AKIRA/patlabour, the colour grading of the film reminds me of a reacourring dream about an AKIRA esque universe thats all in this deep orange red blue neon haze. it strikes a chord on many levels. maybe its frouned upon but im editing the 3 episodes into one film. it is what it is. for my own personal enjoyment.
Happy to hear that you liked it! And I agree; Blood Machines does have a very "Akira like" feel to it's visuals... which is pretty damn awesome!!
Editing the whole thing together is ABSALOTLY acceptable, especially seeing as how that's the movie's original form. It is one continuous movie, but for whatever reason Shudder split it up into 3 "episodes". Hopefully it gets a boxed release someday in it's original form, until then, EDIT AWAY!!
Btw, if you happen to post that edit online somewhere, let me know, cause I'd love to see it;) Thanks for watching!
@@JacobAnders I am doing that ;) and I will, and if its a 4k release I will deffo be handing money over for that! how would you rate shudders video quality? its the first time I signed up to it. I found it good! but felt it was missing some sharpnedd from the trailer for this release. might be just me. cant wait to watch more stuff on shudder.
@@BLACKSYNTH This was the first thing on Shudder that I watched as well. I've watched a few things since, and I found the video quality to be good... not great, but good.
There's no word as of yet (probably because exclusivity deals with Shudder) if or when this will get a physical release, but If this get's a 4K release I, like you, will absolutely be handing over my money!! This movie would burn my eyeballs out of my head in 4K!!!! Hopefully we'll hear something soon;)
@@JacobAnders pfff yeah this in 4K!!!! dont even get me started on HDR (I'm sure it was not filmed in HDR though :D that would blind a mere human!. yeah its going to be a private share between me and a few people that want to see it so I'll send you the link.
@@BLACKSYNTH Awesome! Cant wait;) You can DM me on Twitter if you wanna keep the link private @Redneval2
3 episodes wasnt close to enough
And they episodes were to short
They should ofjust condensed them into 1 episode
Originally it was one single movie; but for whatever reason when Shudder acquired it they split it into three episodes... and I have no idea why?!? This movie was awesome, and I hope they are able to do a follow up. Check out the music video that kind of started it all Turbo Killer (its on RUclips) for a little bit more of that Blood Machines goodness;) Thanks for watching!!
And the head!!!!!!! Good riddance captain. A fitting end for someone who seemed obsessed with women's breasts now he's spending an eternity in a pair.
Beautiful visual, absolutely stunning, and carpenter brut music fits perfectly. Been waiting to watch that movie since 2016 but aside of the visual, it ends up being a overlong videoclip for carpenter brut. Story is simple as fuck. Nothing matrix hasn't done better before. Anyway, it's worth seeing in 4k with a fantastic sound system, as for the story, well, it's a bit light and cliché
I agree; even if your not into the story, this ones is worth seeing for it's amazing visuals!! Thanks for watching;)
I think it needed more coherence. It’s too surreal. Music and visuals are A+. What grade I give the story…????
I use Turbo killer to explain the Adeptus Mechanicus in Warhammer 40k to normies.
Ok do how do i watch this. Oh wait thats right i cnt cos its on shudder only so theres only gunna be about 5 people in the world thats gunna get to see this
You can get a week or so for free on Shudder right now and see it for free, and cancel after you watch it. It's not a bad service though, if your into the horror/thriller genre. Thanks for watching;)
It's already on every major platform.
@@ionnicov The movie, or Shudder?
Im tempted to get shudder for this.
If your into the content that they offer (horror/sci fi/thriller) then Shudder is worth it. They have deals going on now where you can get at least a trial week for free and cancel if you don't like it, so you can see this movie for free if you wanted. It is a pretty good service for $5 a month though. Thanks for watching;)
Regardless if you get shudder and happen to not particularly like this, its only 5.99 a month which is totally worth it IMO.
Are you really sure that we have never seen any thing like this before?
How does this compare with Heavy Metal?
What about Lex?
What about Immortel ad vitam and the music video taken from that?
I'm not familiar with Lex, so I cant speak to that, but I'll give you IAV and Heavy Metal; they do share some similarities;) I do feel that the underlying themes in Blood Machines are deeper then those two though. However, I guess I can change my statement to It's unlike "many" things that you've ever seen!! Thanks for watching;)
Visually amazing and subversive but executed poorly on some fronts. This product is a great example of why a skilled producer/director is needed to make sure a great concept is molded into a great film. The Seth Ickerman team are amazing at doing BIG things with little resources, telling an original story and taking risks, but there is a blatant lack of refinement from a quality producer. Someone needed to step in and show them what does and doesn't work from a story/exhibition/dialogue stand point. They score an A+ with the concept and visuals but end up making a B movie that smells of student film. I prefer a movie to not spoon feed me and let me do my own thinking but their story needs to still TELL a story. It can be a hard line to stand on and all the more reason to have a great head of production step back and force some choices.
A great visual film ... Cosmic Feminisma ....
It is certainly a visual treat. Reguardless of what you may think of the story or themes, you cant deny that;) Thanks for watching!
I have seen BLOOD MACHINES vessels of naked women flying in space. Very very weird 😁 awesome
In Blood Machines, the filmmakers seem to prioritize visual aesthetics and music over a coherent and straightforward storyline. The movie is filled with striking visuals, neon lights, and unique spaceship designs that create a futuristic and otherworldly atmosphere. The choice to have the AI in the form of a pregnant woman made of gold in a provocative pose may be intended to emphasize the blend of technology and human-like qualities.
As for the story itself, it appears to be deliberately enigmatic and open to interpretation. The ritual involving the naked floating woman could represent a transcendent or spiritual transformation, a symbolic release of the ship's essence. The chase between the Tracy crew and the mysterious woman might symbolize the pursuit of understanding and the desire to harness or profit from something unknown and extraordinary.
There may also be underlying themes related to feminism and gender dynamics, with the portrayal of men resorting to violence as their first response and the women scavengers challenging traditional power dynamics. These themes could spark discussions and debates among viewers.
Overall, Blood Machines seems to invite viewers to immerse themselves in a visually stunning and sonically captivating experience, while leaving the interpretation of its abstract story and deeper meaning up to individual speculation and analysis.
Regenerate response
I'm on the 3rd episode and am really hoping he feels there wrath, just as we speak he got it right through the chest, couldn't happen to a nicer man!!!
You really dont like this guy huh, lol!!;) He was a prick though! Thanks for watching;)
because I felt so strongly about the character this man was playing is a good thing I think. Isn't it awful when an actors character leaves you totally unemotional. I watched a brilliant British documentary today:it's probably my favourite fly on the wall film. It's called 'A Complete History Of My Sexual Failures. I adore this film, please watch it.
Subscribing to your channel
@@isell7547 Never heard of it, but it sounds interesting! I'll look for it and give it a watch;)
@@isell7547 Thanks! I really appreciate it, and I hope you enjoy my other content!!
SHROOMZ? anyone?
Your head would explode if you watched this trippin' balls!! Thanks for watching;)
Is the dialogue Dubbed? The dialogue felt like a sore thumb, everything else was top notch.
Synthwave just makes everything better.
I dont think it was... though some of the actors weren't native English speakers (most notably Anders Heinrichsen) so there dialogue came out a bit stiff. And yes, Synthwave does make everything a bit better; the world could probably use a big dose of Synthwave right now in fact!! Thanks for watching;)
Your setup is veeeery identical time chris S....
Admittedly there are similarities, but I had to work with the space I had;) Not alot of options considering the little corner I have to work with, and the big window that's right behind that curtain!! Look at my older videos and you can see how bad it used to be!! It was either this, or greenscreen, and I didnt want to do a greenscreen set;) thanks for watching!
I didn’t understand the ending
Don't worry about it. Make it your own
Well it is a bit open to interpretation, but ultimately it shows the "birth" of a new life. Thanks for watching;)
That is one way to go about it;)
like ❤️🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝
Thanks! And thanks for watching;)
What's the point of a review without some full on excerpts from the 3 parts which of course Shudder charge for each part? The Ai female is definitely not Akira.. 😶no work of art that one.. Looking at the reviews re 'Shudder' subscription I'm glad I am NOT buying into that..
The screener that I received of the movie had it in it's original format of one single movie, so I reviewed it as that;) Thanks for watching!!
@@JacobAnders I did actually watch the full 3 episodes in one but NOT via Shudder etc. All in all I admire the 'independent' aspect of production, funding and more is not just an issue in film or movie etc production. Inventors, creators over the decades have constantly had the same difficulties. 👀Often someone like Edison etc would come along and sponsor or take on the IDEAS and make them into reality whilst patenting them for himself and the real inventors getting nothing. 👀 He was NOT the only one even today who does that.
So what's the last shot with the massive chick
Lol, well it's been quite a while since I watched this movie, so I cant remember alot of the spacifics. If I remember correctly I took it all as the "birth" of a new species... maybe, lol!! Its pretty out there;) Thanks for watching!!
Thought the 2 women were brilliant
Thanks for comenting, and thanks for watching!!;)
this movie was all style and no substance.
Someone wasn't paying attention. Also, it helps if you have seen turbo killer.
Thanks for comenting, and thanks for watching!!;)
666 views 🤘🤘
Lol! Yeah I saw that;) Thanks for being #666, and for watching!
fyi - its pronounced Carpenter "Brute"
Ya know, I thought it might be, but I wasnt 100% sure, so I just went with the way it was spelled! Thanks for letting me know though, and thanks for watching;)
@@JacobAnders - no biggie, j ust thought I would let ya know.
When saying who one of yer new favorite artists is to others and sharing, its nice to have the right pronunciation :P
@@DismemberTheAlamo Right! Now I don't have to look dumb when saying to people... good thing I didn't say it in a vast social venue where people can continuously see me say it wrong... oh shit, wait a minute!!! lol;)
@@JacobAnders Apparently its named after the two most 80s things they could think of - John Carpenter and Brut aftershave.
@@richardgoddard37 Lol, this made me laugh for a solid 2 minutes straight, Lol!!;)
you can see the lack of quality everywhere in the visuals despite this being more than likely down to budget and team, but how can you say visual masterpiece...
I didn't say that there was a lack of quality in the visuals, so I'm not sure what you mean. I mentioned that one of the performances was a bit stiff at times due to, what I think was, English not being his native language, and that some might have issue with the narrative, because it's not told in the traditional way.
Visually I do think this was a masterpiece, not only in the quality of the CGI, but the cinematography, overall look, and how much of the story is told visually. That being said, I also realize that this movie will absolutely not be for everyone; it seems that people either love it or hate it, with both sides having valid points. This kind of interpretive visual story telling doesn't always work for me, but it did here, and I really liked this movie, but I get why some don't;) Thanks for watching!!
are you blind?
@@danielarcher369 asking that question suggests you may be
@@MCR.88 lol, good comeback
You’re gong to have to be more specific. Where exactly are you finding a lack of quality? The cgi was was pristine! Every shot seemed to have been painstakingly light and texture mapped to seamlessly place the actors INTO the scene. The color abstraction was consistent throughout, motion was smooth, I mean... really, point out the “lack” of quality. You’re crazy.
watch this movie on shrooms
Oh my god, I think this would change the course of my life if I watched this movie on any kind of psychedelic, lol!! Thanks for watching;)
The acting was so bad like how are all the reviews good
While I didn't think the acting was terrible, I'll admit that it was the weakest part of the film, however everything else is so damn good that it makes up for it a bit! I think you'll see that most of the reviews mainly praise the creativeness and visual splendor of the movie more then anything. Visuals alone don't sell a movie for me, but this one had just the right mix of ingredients to really click with me. But it's not gonna be for everybody, and that's cool; maybe our opinions will line up on the next one;) Thanks for watching!
Take this comment with a pinch of salt and your metaphor digging hat on, :p
This wonderfully made film was a huge slap to "bad masculine" cliche traits. Superior ever-sufferring female cliche traits murdered the unwise youth whilst conversley harkening back to "the good old days" of masculinity, and giving life to it at the end, after destroying and leaving to eternal hell-torture-inside-the-inverted-cross-inverted-womanhood-manifest the ignorant materialist modern man.
But that's where it gets my goat. The femdom is a romanticised celtic pagan fiction harkening back to the days when the life of stone age nomads was revered in the oral histories of new miserable agriculture based societies. The so-called patriarchal switch from slavery to the Moon to the slavery of the Sun is deemed an ancient crime against humanity. I actually agree with that. And man is now also blamed for the industrial revolution abuses that led to rampant capitalist globalisation. I disagree with that. Just because the patricarchy rose and the control and acquisition of material environs to luxurous but shallow standards rose at the same time, does NOT make the correlation the proviso of men. I put it to you that it is in fact totally the reverse.
Actually why must we divide the crime of "progress" of material world gain against the loss of the spirtual and natural world as only one gender's fault? Was it a man or a woman that cultured the first grass to the equivalent of wheat?
So this is what makes me sad about such a beautiful work of art this film is. It's an overtly simplistic feminist undereducated-it's-all-his-fault trope.
The answer is we get along and work together, not She must dominate to stop Him dominating.
Fuckin "ell, you really got it bad haven't you.
@@isell7547 I might have been a bit high and read too much into it..... :D
I fully condone being to high and over elaborating, sounds familiar and I definetly empathise. Thank you for your reply and intelligent words, it amused me very much. Hope you are well......
I liked the movie and absolutely loathed the captain, so a job well done in pushing my buttons when it came to that horrible character. Beautiful array of colours I thought.
Movie? It was three episodes long that wasn't even an hour long. It was amazing don't get me wrong but this wasn't a fucking "movie".
In its original form it was one continuous thing, but Shudder cut it up into three "episodes" for some reason. While even in its original form it was a fairly short movie, it was made as a movie none the less;) Thanks for watching!
Again, it takes men to make the best points for feminism ))
Thanks for comenting, and thanks for watching!!;)
