We have a lurid and depraved one today. No humor. All ominous and quite taboo. The setting is not a unique one for horror, a storage unit facility...after dark. As usual, there is much more living in there than a few homeless users. Hey, Bai Ling is in this. No one plays a trashy skank like Bai Ling, and in this one, she plays a...trashy skank. Even so, there is something about Bai Ling that brings a smile to our faces...though we probably shouldn't admit this in polite company. Our feature today is 2013's "Blood Shed," directed by Patrick Hasson and Juan Carlos Saizarbitoria.
Ick, Khara (Vida Guerra), a babe, is very pregnant. A vengeful spirit, or demon, who was probably sultry in life invades the storage unit she is living in and slashes her BF to death and does all sorts of horrible things to her. See, the demon, Jezebel (Cherie Jimenez) wants the baby. Why? You'll see, and it won't be the feel good story of the year. Enter the loser, Gabriel (Gabriel De Santiago). Hunk, but he lives in his car. One day a key comes in an envelope for a storage unit at the same place. He goes there and finds a locked trunk. Yep, inside the trunk is the answers to all our questions. Enter Samira (Bree Essrig), the assistant manager of the joint. She is hot for Gabriel, but Gabriel is emotionally unavailable. We also meet the aforementioned skank, Lucy (Ling), and her tranny lover, Devon (Qaadir Howard). We like Lucy, not so much Devon.
Meanwhile Jezebel is prepping Khara and also torturing her. Jezebel also roams the corridors looking for unsuspecting homeless to gut. Gabriel gets the trunk in his unit open and what he finds is horrific and an answer to his mysterious past. Uh oh...enter Samira's blonde skank buddy Evette (Jillisa Lynn). Jezebel will take a special interest in her and the result won't be pretty. Bad news for all involved, it is after 9pm, which means the place is locked down and no one is going to leave. Worse news, Jezebel wants Gabriel. Why and for what is still a mystery. The backstory is alluded to throughout the plot, and we see a weird voodoo/Santeria rite performed on Jezebel when she was among the living.
Just what does Jezebel the demon want with Gabriel? What will be the fate of the tortured pregnant Khara? When living in a storage unit, is this a surprising fate? This will get gory and it will be difficult to watch as Jezebel tortures and maims the once beautiful Khara. For a horror film that is indeed a horror film all thew way, see "Blood Shed."
