Blood & Honor (2000)
Top billed Miles O'Keeffe appears halfway through this period soap opera and then just disappears, along with the plot his character was suppose to thicken. As a student of the American Civil War, I was excited when I found a DVD of Blood and Honor at a thrift store. After a viewing, I burned the copy. A rambling, nearly nonexistence plot in a dollar store knockoff of Gone With The Wind. Just a bunch of tropes that have been used in every other period piece and historical romance novel. Terrible acting, sound, editing and cinematography. Obviously fake blood. The battle scenes were obviously reenactments in which people can be seen casually walking around in the background. Seeing that the author, Maurice J Fagan, of the book the film is based on produced the film should have turned the opening credits into a warning. Directed and Written by Donald Farmer, whose resume is mostly b-rated horror films like ****** With A Chainsaw, Cannibal Cop, and Shark Exorcist, this Sherman-March-To-The-Sea Fire would be a great departure from your normal horror and sci-fi repertoire.
