Reviews:
“Honestly, while there’s nothing wrong with Blood Bags, it’s still a film that feels rather generic for its genre. The story is good but it’s been done before, though there is some humor peppered into the screenplay—along with a few well-deserved digs at Americans—to keep the viewer engaged and amused.” 3.5 out of 5, Cryptic Rock
” …the story is jettisoned, the horror turned into a series of corridor chases, but the visuals; the visuals remain the high point: from the atmospheric use of colour, light and shadow a la Suspiria and Inferno, to the stunning vision of a victim turned into a blood-soaked ballerina, Ranzani really has made a good looking film. But at the expense of pretty much everything else.” Nerdly
” …while there’s a couple of nice effects the film is short on gore […] We do at least get some imaginative photography and atmospheric shots courtesy of Ranzani who’s also the camera operator on Blood Bags. They help make the film a lot more effective than it really has a right to be.” Voices from the Balcony
