Plot summary

The lonely artist Jack Fender still grieves the death of his beloved lover Tina three years ago. He lost his inspiration and his faith in God and presently he is taking pornographic pictures for the mobster Sparky and his partner Limpy for a pornographic site managed by Nibbles and Scooter under the protest of his agent and friend Alex. When Jack witnesses a car accident in his neighborhood, the wounded passenger gives a box to Jack, asking him to protect and never open it, and he discovers that he is protecting the Holy Grail. From this moment on, weird things happen to Jack: visions, nightmares and the permanent sensation that strangers are watching him. While swimming late night in a club, Jack meets the sexy Iona and his inspiration returns but he also finds the hidden reality.

Awful but they tried

"Cup of My Blood" is a low budget mess of a film with few redeeming positive elements, but I give it points for attempting something that could have been so much better had it not been limited on, well, everything.It follows a porn photographer named Jack, played by Daniel Patrick Sullivan (who looks like a cross between Noah Wylie and Liam Neeson), is mourning his wife's death for which he holds himself responsible. He witnesses a car wreck and a dying woman in dramatic fashion (cough, cough) tells him there's a box in the back seat (cough, cough) he should take but never (cough, cough) open (uuuuhhh....dead). Seems the box has inside it the Holy Grail, and he is the next Protector of it.The plot goes so off the rails in the third act that I was hopelessly lost and the ending was ridiculous and unnecessary. Reading other reviews, it's nice to know that I wasn't alone.First, the bad: The acting-with the exception of Sullivan, who did his best-was atrocious. Absolutely terrible. However, the inept, amateur script didn't help. The audio was awful, requiring constant adjustments. The cinematography was set on green. The soundtrack was annoying and in many places inappropriate. The film could have been easily cut by 10-15 minutes. Every time I thought it was over, it still wasn't over. And I can forgive a lot for a low budget movie, but bad direction is bad direction.The good: Well, there's Sullivan giving his all to overcome that clunky, dire script. And the special effects weren't bad considering the budget.I really wasn't expecting much, nor did I get it. 3/10 is the most generous I can do.

Couldn't Finish It

There's uneven and then there's this movie. The premise that the last person you'd think should look after the Holy Grail is the one chosen to do it...well, I've see it before. In the first half hour, the only person I wanted to see (Tina) was dead already. The hero was like a post car-wreck Bill Pullman. The porno king kept reminding us he was acting. Limpy has a good look but not compelling enough to wait hour and eighteen minute for. And the writing was atrocious with needless amounts of exposition AFTER you know what going on. Or some heavy hand line like "I got degrees in Philosophy, Religion and Art." Hm. And this picture as RELIGIOUS themes? You must be very important to the plot. I'm sure some trailer park trash found stuff like this "real inneresting" but it made me laugh. And not in a good/bad way. Still, the final nail in the cross...er...coffin were the innumerable audio stings faking you out. It's a valid technique but it gets dull watching and actor on the screen constantly flinching. I can almost picture the audition - "Now, there's a lot of flinching in this movie. Let's see you flinch."Go watch God Told Me To, instead. At least that's an ambitious mess.

Reasonable piece of ... bad movie :)

The entire story was so confusing and illogical that at one time in the film I just decided to stop trying to understand it. Enough said, there is a Holy Grail, a special breed of people that can see the Grail and not die called Protectors, some weirdos that want to help the Protectors (let's call them the Geeks) and some other weirdos that want the Grail for some unholy business. They all kind of shoot each other, full of Faith and all.The beginning is pretty well done, with tensionate soundtrack and graphical to gory moments. But it just continues like that. There is no sense of anything after a while. After really dumb dialogues and scenes, where even the girls that come to pose for porn sites look bad, the whole thing degenerates into a mindless bloodbath. Lots of fake blood and then, the end. A final scene that shows what is going on after 77 years. Why 77? What was the purpose of the movie? No answer, really.Conclusion: almost bad and totally boring.
