The Bleeding is a 2009 direct-to-video action horror film directed by Charlie Picerni and stars Michael Matthias, Vinnie Jones, DMX and Michael Madsen.

Plot
A soldier returns home from Afghanistan and finds that his parents have been murdered and his brother has been reborn as a vampire king.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) Extremely confusing, boring and nonexistent story.
 * 2) Shawn Black (played by Michael Matthias) looks and acts like a bored Vin Diesel.
 * 3) Very poor acting.
 * 4) The film rips off various action and horror films like The Fast and the Furious, Blade, From Dusk Till Dawn, Boondocks Saints and Hostel.
 * 5) False Advertising: Even though DMX is credited fourth on the DVD cover and in the opening credits, his character is only in the movie for the first few minutes.
 * 6) There are numerous moments that make the movie feel like intentional comedy.
 * 7) Very poor special effects and schizophrenic editing.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Michael Madsen as Father Roy is one of the few highlights of the film.
 * 2) As mentioned earlier, the film has several unintentionally funny moments.
