Comments: Blood Games is without a doubt one of those terrible yet undeniably awesome movies. The film follows a traveling women's baseball team that, while wearing as skimpy outfits as possible, completely dismantles some local hicks in a baseball field that hasn't been maintained in five years. A dispute over money owed from the game sets off a horrific series of events, including murders, rape, and a shitload of bad acting (to be fair, that started before said dispute). In essence, Blood Games is A League of Their Own meets I Spit on Your Grave. And it was rather great (and awful). To be honest, and this will only make me look more depraved, but a little more skin and violence could really have elevated the film in my eyes. But as it stands, Blood Games is still somewhat bad ass.
