This review will be a little weird… mostly because I’m reviewing this as more of a review of The Joe Bob Briggs commentary than the actual film Blood Sisters. In short, the actual film Blood Sisters is a ridiculously bad “sorority chicks in a haunted house” movie. It’s got bad acting, bad writing, plot holes galore, and a couple of handfuls of nudity… which are about as titillating as looking at the underwear section in the Sears catalogue. As a film, the damn thing is nearly unwatchable. It’s quite simply boring and bland.

Of course, that’s why Media Blasters, in a shrewd and not unprecedented move, released Blood Sisters with the most special of special features… a Joe Bob Briggs Commentary. If there’s one thing that will get a bad movie fan to buy a bad movie, it’s the presence of comedy relief from Joe Bob himself. This guy is B-movie royalty as far as anyone fascinated with low-budget horror flicks and sleazy movies is concerned.

Joe Bob’s commentary may not be the best I’ve heard this time around, but it is typical of Joe Bob commentary, meaning it’s rife with absurd factoids, colorful names for hooters, and enough laughs to make even a shitty movie like Blood Sisters worth watching. Honestly, it’s embarrassing and awe-inspiring how much research Mr. Briggs put into a film like Blood Sisters. A detailed rundown of obscure director Roberta Findlay’s career may seem like a huge waste of time to some, but Briggs turns it into a buffet of laughs and knowledge, which any fan of low-grade horror flicks can’t help but appreciate.

Don’t see Blood Sisters for Blood Sisters… see it to hear it… it being the awesome commentary from Joe Bob. I watched the movie both ways, with and without commentary, and it was unbearably tedious, yet strangely ten times better than most contemporary shitty straight-to-DVD movies even without the commentary. But that’s not saying much, because the quality of today’s contemporary, straight-to-DVD horror flicks is embarrassingly bad. Hell, you don’t even have to watch the movie; with the commentary on, just plop it in and go about doing something else… unless you’re afraid of missing a couple of random tit shots and some of the most tame lesbian scenes you’ve ever seen in your life.

Final Synopsis: Buy this for the Joe Bob Briggs commentary. It’s worth it. The movie sucks though.

Lesson Learned: Joe Bob can make even the blandest flicks worth watching.

Burning Question: How are all those hookers ghosts when they should still be alive?
