Sodium Babies (2016)

  

With a name like sodium babies you would think it'd be about how dangerous working out could be so I thought, "Oh hey new excuse to not go to the gym".  Of course I couldn't be further from the truth.Sodium Babies is a French film with English subtitles about a "vampling" or ghoul who's rebelled against the head vampire for revenge against the clan that brain washed him for the purpose of not getting their hands dirty.
Now I have the attention span of a goldfish unless you happen to be anything related to horror or the macabre. That being said I've tried to watch the film maybe four times but the first 15 minutes just cannot keep my attention for the life of me so I go blank on that area of the backstory that seems to be a major part of the film, but after that fifteen-minute mark I just can't seem to peel my eyes away from the screen. 
All in all I give it a two out of five shrieks. 
Not only did it seem like a sob revenge story but it didn't exactly scream quality or horror. There were maybe two scenes that I can remember a few days after I watch the film. First one is the short scene of the brainwashing and the "lessons" of being part of the undead living community. Then second is a completely ridiculous and entertaining revenge scene in the form of a cheesy 90s game show.
As for the rest of the film it just seemed  as if the actors were playing a new card game they weren't sure how to play even though the instructions were recently just explained to them; it still seemed fun so they'd play along until they figured it out... which by the way didn't happen until the film was pretty much under wraps.
