All You Need Is Blood movie storyline. 16-year old Bucky (Logan Riley Bruner) wants nothing more than to be a filmmaker. He and his best friend Vish (Neel Sethi) spend their days shooting VHS movies in the hopes of one day becoming arthouse auteurs — ya know, the respectable type of filmmaking, as far from low-brow horror as possible. But Bucky’s pretentiousness has to be put in check when the greatest special effect imaginable falls right into his backyard.
It’s a meteor, and with it comes an infection from beyond the stars — an infection that makes quick work of turning Bucky’s dad into an actual zombie. And if you’ve got a real live (dead) zombie, you might as well make a horror movie. All You Need is Blood follows a madcap race against the clock as Bucky and friends try to utilize their (mis)fortune to make a high-art zombie movie before the submission deadline of a local film festival, while also doing their best to stem the spread of the zombie infection.
It’s a charming, high energy comedy that, despite never really taking its plot seriously, tells a touching story of friendship and the pursuance of one’s passions in the face of dissent. Logic can be thrown out the window in exchange for a freewheeling good time, complete with goopy effects, clever references, and one of the sickest (and funniest) creatures to grace the screen at PUFF. It’s the type of movie that makes you want to make a movie of your own, not just because it calls back memories of adolescent creative projects, but because it’s a film about how the process itself is the reward.
