5.0 out of 5 stars A Gorestorm Classic
Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2022

A surreal arthouse mindscrew in the vein (so to speak) of Mandy, Climax, and The Color Out of Space, Bliss is a gnarly gem anchored by an absolutely fearless performance from Dora Madison. The visuals are an epileptic fit waiting to happen, the cultural backdrop is a pit, and the characters are all pretty much detestable. If you can handle that, this movie has kick and verve to spare. Gory, messy, relentless, and brilliant, this bizarro take on vampirism of all kinds also boasts brutal practical FX and a stonercore soundtrack that is literally to die for.

I loved it. Five stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bliss Takes You There
Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2019

Bliss is one of the most visually stunning films I have ever seen. Turn off the lights not simply because it's a horror movie, but to experience it, as vibrant colors (beginning with rock-out opening credits) and darkness flash and wash over you. Few films draw you in as almost in person as Bliss does. It delivers everything promoted, from start to unnerving finish. Dora Madison is a magnificent tour de force in an unrelentingly scaling performance as the central character trying to decipher madness from actual change as she works through her "artist's block." Also the film wisely features art by the incomparable Chet Zar, with his work nearly meriting credit as another performer with the cast. Exciting, mysterious and seeded with growing dread, it is nice to see a film that lives up to the buzz and to honest promotion. Really hope for more like this but Bliss will always stand apart as unique and impervious to replication.

4.0 out of 5 stars Offbeat twist on vampirism is a decadent, gory treat!
Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2020
Verified Purchase
A beautiful disk highlighting the neon drenched and sometimes psychedelic cinematography with great sound for it's raw garage band style music driven soundtrack.
As for the film itself...
Dezzy (Dora Madison) is a down on her luck artist and drug abuser who is having trouble finishing a piece that could turn her life around. She vents her frustration in a night of debauchery, involving alcohol, a new drug from her dealer and a threesome with friend Courtney (Tru Collins) and Courtney’s boyfriend Ronnie (Rhys Wakefield). Not only does this get her working on her painting again, but gives her an insatiable appetite for blood.

Joe Begos writes and directs this sometimes hallucinogenic tale of artistic block, depravity and vampirism. Begos’ first two features Almost Human and The Mind’s Eye were homage heavy flicks, though very entertaining. Here he shows he can do something outside of his influences and do it well, even on a very small budget, which seems to suit Begos. While not a traditional vampire tale, as Dezzy has no fangs and doesn’t turn into any creatures of the night, it has some gory demises once Dezzy’s thirst drives her to kill. Whatever she is, can be killed by a wooden stake, as Courtney demonstrates by finishing off one of Dezzy’s victims, and apparently sunlight can be lethal, too. Vampires or not, this is a tale of excess and Begos sometimes put’s his audience inside Dezzy’s head trips and it gives us a sense of the state of mind the troubled artist is in. It’s a trip and a disturbing one for all the right reasons. The gore is very plentiful and well orchestrated and the film itself has a raw feel to it that works very well, as it revels in the seedier side of Los Angeles nightlife. A contemporary vampire tale substituting ancient curses and cloves of garlic for sex, drugs and rock n’ roll.

While there are quite a few supporting players, it’s very much a one woman show and lead Dora Madison (Exists) rises to the occasion. She dives into the role with a passionate yet very real performance. One doesn’t feel like they are watching a movie character, but a real person whose artistic nature has her living a life of excesses and extreme stimulation, and this is before she is transformed into a creature of the night. Her role requires a lot of nudity, drug use and hedonistic behavior, not to mention outbursts of rage, anger and violence when she realizes something is very wrong with her and her bloodlust takes hold. The actress performs it all very well. The supporting cast, such as Collins as Courtney and Jeremy Gardner as Dezzy’s “friend” Clive all create interesting people who seem to dwell more within the underground lifestyle of L.A. A good cast of interesting characters.

Overall, Begos is once again proving he is a filmmaker to watch. His homages to The Thing (Almost Human) and Scanners (The Mind’s Eye) were solid flicks that paid respectful tribute to their inspirations. Here Begos shows he can operate outside his influences and presents a tale of a young woman’s downward spiral into madness, depravity and murder all in the name of artistic expression. It’s trippy, gory and dirty and sleazy in all the right places. Looking forward to Begos’ upcoming VFW about a group of war veterans under siege at a VFW hall.

5.0 out of 5 stars Phantasmagoric Vampire Thrill Ride
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2020
Verified Purchase
Dezzy, an artist with some serious deadlines and a serious case of creative constipation, spirals down a rabbit hole of drugs, and blood into a hallucinatory nightmare world of vampirism.

A real wild psychotronic experience. The neon lit visuals are a treat with a warning to the sensitive some of the strobe light scenes can be overwhelming. The acting was sharp and everybody did a great job with their characters with a big shout out to George Wendt with a great cameo. The director Joe Begos had a real solid hold on this movie, these kind of hallucinatory joy ride through madness movies can really easily escape like an eel in the dark. The neon lights and spraying gore are a wonderful new take on the vampire genre that way too much presents vampires as appealing rather than a hideous curse.

1.0 out of 5 stars Amateurish, poorly scripted and acted film school project
Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2022
Verified Purchase
I enjoy dark experimental indie films (e.g. Requiem for a Dream, ), but this was atrocious. The script and acting were on par with a high school film project, with the sets and effects at most junior college level. Conceptually the story had potential, but it was executed in the manner of someone who procrastinated for months to start their capstone project, then scrambled at the last minute to cobble something together. The end result was a tedious bore.

2.0 out of 5 stars Bliss-ful Ignorance
Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2020
Verified Purchase
Bliss (2019), is a film with indie art-house aspirations, but one that just can't get out of the way of the director's boner. Everything about this movie should be awesome: very interesting visual style, strong performances, great music, interesting take on a classic monster trope, and some chaotic and unsettling set-pieces. Dezzy is an artist struggling to finish a painting, so she goes on a bender, does a ton of drugs, and is overcome with an insatiable craving for blood...and threesomes, and painting in the nude while covered in blood. These last two points aren't inherently damning, of course, and even make sense in the context of what Dezzy is experiencing. But the way they're filmed, staged, represented, at best just betrays director Joe Begos' ultimate lack of self-awareness, or, at worst, display what he's really interested in. The end result comes off as pretending to be deep while going for cheap lasciviousness. It also wastes a strong performance from Dora Madison Burge, who completely commits to the material, which is commendable, only the material really wasn't worth her efforts. Two stars for visual style, music, and Burge's unhinged performance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Underrated Gem.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 15, 2022

Don't read anything about it. Don't watch the trailer. I think those are the mistakes the lower star reviewers made. If watching with expectations, you're just waiting for 'the turn' and honestly, that stops you enjoying the sultry, dark, claustrophobic build that makes this film so great. Gorey, sexy, this is 80s style hip horror with stylings reminiscent of Hardware and Near Dark. It also has an excellent (and heavy) soundtrack by local bands. Absolute gem of a film. Great, intense performance from the leading lady.

Low budget does not have to mean a crappy movie. I understood the main character's frustrations (w/o the drugs) being an artist myself, so it hit close to home. If anything, it inspired me. Way better than the over-rated movie "CLIMAX".

5.0 out of 5 stars Intensiver Drogen- und Splattertrip, extrem grell beleuchtet
Reviewed in Germany on July 4, 2020
Verified Purchase
Nach "Almost Human" (2013), "The Mind`s Eye" (2015) und "VFW" (2019) ist "Bliss" der vierte und mittlerweile bekannteste Film des amerikanischen Filmproduzenten und Regisseurs Joe Begos. "Bliss" ist ein intensiver Trip in den grellsten Farben in eine Welt aus Drogen, Sex, Kunst, Blut und Tod.
Malerin Dezzy Donaghue hat ihre Drogensucht bezwungen, befindet sich seitdem aber in einem kreativen Loch. Sie hat seit Monaten nichts Neues mehr gemalt, und ihr Agent droht damit, sie fallen zu lassen. Zudem ist seit einiger Zeit ihre Miete fällig, und Dez braucht dringend Geld und neue Inspiration. Sie kehrt zurück zu den Drogen, und probiert eine ihr unbekannte Substanz namens Diabolo. Ziemlich schnell kehrt ihre Kreativität zurück. Leider nehmen aber auch ihre Blackouts überhand, sie kann sich nur noch selten an überhaupt irgend etwas erinnern. Und immer öfter wacht sie von Blut getränkt auf, während ihre Freunde sich nicht mehr bei ihr melden. bis Freundin Courtney Andeutungen macht, dass ihr neuer Zustand nicht von der Droge kommt...
Meiner Meinung nach legt Joe Begos mit diesem nur 80:25 Minuten langen Film ein echtes Meisterwerk vor. Zwar weiß der Zuschauer relativ schnell, in welche Richtung sich die Handlung entwickeln wird, dafür ist der Film visuell einfach nur die Bombe. Das liegt einerseits an der ziemlich extremen Beleuchtung, die wechselhaft in den grellsten Farben gehalten ist, andererseits an den hervorragenden Splattereffekten, die mit wachsender Laufzeit zunehmen. Auch Hauptdarstellerin Dora Madison Burge kommt sexy rüber, und sicher stört das vornehmlich männliche Zielpublikum wohl kaum, dass sie ziemlich oft nackt zu sehen ist. Vom Gefühl her ähnelt der aus Sicht Dezzys erzählteThriller dem Werwolfthema: Dezzy weiß nicht, was mit ihr passiert, hat keine Erinnerung, aber ein mehr als ungutes Gefühl, und Angst...und die ist berechtigt.
"Bliss" ist ein in jeder Hinsicht extremer Film, sowohl was den Cast angeht, der in einer bestimmten Szene spielt, wie auch die kompromißlose musikalische Untermalung, aggressiver Alternative-Punk-Metal-Rock, die plakative Nacktheit, die entfesselte Kamera oder die Extremsplatterorgie am Ende des Films. Die einzelnen Versatzstücke hat man schon mal woanders gesehen, alles zusammen aber nicht, was den Film für mich persönlich zu einem absoluten Highlight macht. Leider ist das Bild nicht optimal, und als Bonusmaterial gibt es nur eine geschnittene Szene. Natürlich enthält die Eureka-Disc aus England auch keinen deutschen Ton (der wahrscheinlich gar nicht existiert), aber zumindest zuschaltbare Untertitel. Praktisch für Musikfans ist, dass in diesen erwähnt wird, welcher Song von welcher Band gerade spielt. Für mich ist "Bliss" einer der ansprechendsten Filme, die ich seit ganz langer Zeit gesehen habe.
