The Three Acts:The initial tableaux: The opening titles show biological experimentation as the credits go by. We shift to Greg and Rob, two college drones looking for effortless money, being interviewed at Ravexin Pharmaceuticals by Dr Wilcox. The test was for 14 days; the money was over 3000 USD. They get to the testing facility and meet the other test subjects for the first round.Delineation of conflicts: Initially, the test subjects want to get through the 14 days and collect their cash. Later, the subjects just want to get out alive. The company wants to observe results.Aberrant behaviour and random health problems start manifesting after just a couple of days, and the first dose. The staff want to keep things calm, while the test subjects want to return to normal.As the doses continue, the weirdness increases. Greg finds that Ravexin (RXZ-19) is not about allergies. Also, it has more side effects.Resolution: Out of control clinical trial ends badly.

I saw this under the name Bloodworx-- same movie but it actually has several other titles as well. The story was your typical drug trial gone wrong movie but it did have some potential -- too bad it didn't have different writers. The ending was very vague and disappointing. Luckily some of the bad dialogue was pretty funny! One of the best silly lines by Dr. Wilcox "Everything's fine. Just be sure not to ITCH it. And you'll be good as new." Hahaha. Itch it! She's killing me with her technical medical terms! That's dialogue from a toddler, that an actual doctor would correct-- "no, honey, it's try not to scratch it-- not, itch it." hahaha OMG priceless!

From the get go this movie could be either good or bad, I couldn't prevent which way it would go. Sadly it turned out to be the bad way. First, actors don't fit in their roles-- two athletic guys going to a two weeks confinement for testing an unknown drug? The main doctor, a young and beautiful girl, plays the mad scientist, which obviously doesn't fit as well. This main plot has been used plenty of times, but I believed this one could bring something new. Instead, it used some clichés, and suddenly, by 20 or 30 minutes of movie, the drug testers all became acting like pigs and addicted to the substance. Surely we all knew from the beginning it would a big conspiracy from the drug makers, but we hoped it could possibly go in a different way. I assume that after the first hour I could barely pay any attention to this, but I tried my best to try to like it. Bad movie anyways.

It's an interesting idea. Some people take part in a drug trial in a creepy industrial kind of building cum hospital. Of course the drug causes all manner of side effects which end up with people snout deep in gore. In the hands of a decent writer and a bunch of decent actors it might have actually worked. Sadly it has neither so it didn't.Travis Van Winkle, who is probably a relative of Rip, provides some light relief as 'Greg' but the cast are pretty dull and boring. Even the one playing 'Johnny Depp' playing 'Captain Jack Sparrow' could not drag it above the level of DVD bargain bin '3 for £5' tripe. It does have the odd moment that could have ended up interesting but again didn't manage to capitalise on that.The horror stuff was the usual zombie flesh eater type of thing minus the zombies or 'Walkers' as I believe zombies are now known in the USA.Eric Roberts appears for no reason other than the DVD cover can claim to star Eric Roberts. Why? Probably because he had a gas bill to pay or something. The ending was laughable as Eric and his 'less than' elite team come in to clean up the mess and fail miserably enabling the utterly terrifying possibility of a Bloodwork #2 likely starring Eric Roberts.It is beyond me how these awful films even manage to make back their few thousand bucks budget but the DVD racks are full of this kind of useless waste of 90 minutes garbage. Maybe it's because the gullible film audience falls for it every time. I am embarrassed to admit I did once again.
