Why on earth do they have to stretch this dilettante crap to 100 minutes? All You Need Is Blood is the story of a 16 year old boy who is determined to make an amateur film, taking advantage of the fact that his father has just turned into a zombie. Nothing in the film makes sense, the events happen completely randomly and the behaviour of the characters lacks any grounding in reality (plus the main character is an extremely insufferable idiot). It's a bit of fun about five minutes before the end, when there's a tiny gorefest, but that's really not enough after the previous hour and a half of meandering misery.

For a horror comedy about amateur filmmakers, All You Need Is Blood is extraordinarily unfunny (most of its characters are rather unbearably annoying), with a lot of weak point in the narrative, from extreme naïveté in the motivations, dialogue and actions of the characters to endless nonsense in the plot continuity. The effort to make this into a meta-film about making a film comes across as hollow, as the result is merely dumb, incoherent rubbish. Some entertaining ideas and humorously bloody scenes turn up at the end, but until then, the prevailing impression is that of drawn-out agony.
