Trama e commenti: vertigo24.net: «Prima dei One Direction, dei Blue e dei falsetti di Justin Bieber, a far strappare i capelli alle adolescenti c’erano loro: i Backstreet Boys, la boy band statunitense composta da A.J. McLean, Howie D, Brian Littrell, Nick Carter e Kevin Richardson. Sebbene tutti e cinque abbiano intentato la carriera di solista, per tornare poi insieme nel 2013 con l’album In a World Like This, e di attore, participando ad alcune serie tv o lanciando dei reality show, solo Richardson sembra aver incontrato il “successo” in questa direzione. Apparso nel 2009 nel dramma natalizio Love Take Wings e vincitore dell’Indipendent Vision Award come miglior attore per il suo ruolo in The Casserole Club al Vision Fest di New York nel 2011, il nostro Kevin torna sul grande schermo con The Bloody Indulgent. Se il poster ufficiale sembra prometterci un “musical dall’alto livello concettuale", i due trailer diffusi online ci presentano una versione leggermente diversa della pellicola a tema vampiresco: sesso, droga, stripper inca**ate, vampiri dal pessimo senso del look, quantità di sangue degne del peggior horror e lui, Richardon, sempre pronto a riproporre il suo falsetto che poco s’accoppia con la onnipresente camicia in stile hawaiana. Il musical, a Cannes alla ricerca di un distributore, ruota intorno alla vendetta di alcune spogliarelliste che tenteranno di uccidere Burt (Richardson), un vampiro tossico, dopo l’uccisione da parte di quest’ultimo di Sid (Brian Gaskill), il proprietario di uno strip club».

Plot Summary, Synopsis, Review: : IMDb - allmovie.com - facebook.com - taliesinttlg.blogspot.it - starburstmagazine.com - horrorsociety.com - horrornews.net - broadwayworld.com - rottentomatoes.com - dvdtalk.com: «AAs if sparkly vampires weren't enough, the producers of Bloody Indulgent decided that the viewing public also need singing vampires. So, now we have a vampire musical, and it is largely what you would expect it to be, though to give credit where it's due, there's plenty of blood and gore, and it is well done. Burt (Kevin Scott Richardson) is a flamboyant vampire, who can't quite keep his urges in control. His friend Todd (Brandon Heitkamp) explicitly says that he doesn't want to get turned, but Burt chases him down an alley anyway, bites, sucks, etc. and turns Todd anyway. Todd's girlfriend Connie (Diva Zappa) takes exception to this, and tries to incite the crowd at the strip club she works at to kill Burt. Anti-vampire prejudice is strong, and the crow complies, or tries to. Burt ends up killing most of them, and turning Connie, who finds that she prefers "life" as a vampire, as it happens. After the carnage at the club, Burt and Todd repair to a photo studio, owned by Clare (Sharon Ferguson), a non-vampire, who nevertheless enjoys murdering her models on film. Todd is immediately smitten by her assistant June (Lucy Griffin), and begins to feel remorseful about his hand in the night's events, and indeed to have second thoughts about Burt and his wild lifestyle. Complicating matters, are the strippers who are now bent on revenge since Burt has killed all of their boyfriends. Oh, and there's a lot of singing and dancing. And blood and gore and zombies and murder. If this sounds like the kind of thing you'd enjoy, then you'll probably like Bloody Indulgent. The music ranges from grating, to mediocre, to not bad. The humor elicits a few laughs, a few chuckles, and a few smiles. But this is not a gut busting comedy. But's it's okay. The blood effects are surprisingly good. The performances are solid as well, though the whole film is intentionally played broad. There's not much to the story, but it's not the kind of film where that particularly matters. I'll call this one a Rent It, unless you really have an affinity for rock infused, bloody vampire musicals» (Jeremy Blitz).
