Added DiffLines:

* OurVampiresAreDifferent: The Patriarch and Matriarch are hideous, batlike humanoids who speak in guttural Romanian, can shapeshift, and have a psychic link with anyone they've infected, which allows them to directly control them when focusing but also causes them to feel the pain of any injuries that are inflicted on someone they are controlling.

''Blood Vessel'' is a 2019 horror movie starring Creator/AlyssaSutherland, Nathan Phillips, Alex Cooke, and [[Series/{{Longmire}} Robert Taylor]].

The survivors of a U-Boat attack on an Allied ship are left stranded in a lifeboat in the middle of the ocean with no hope of rescue, only to find a German GhostShip. Deciding to use the vessel for shelter, they soon find that aboard the boat are a family of vampires who are more than happy at the opportunity for a snack.

!!List of tropes applying to this film:

* ArcWords: "Family."
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Faraday]] and [[spoiler:Bigelow]] are the two meanest and most useless out of the main cast, so it isn't heartbreaking to see them go.
* AwesomeAussie: Sinclair is something of an idiot, but still proves adept at vampire killing.
* BadassNormal: Alexander, the MadeOfIron Russian soldier who kicks tons of vampire ass.
* BigBad: The Patriarch, the leader of the family of vampires.
* BlackDudeDiesFirstm Subverted. [[spoiler:Jackson]] is actually the second to die.
* CreepyChild: Maya, the vampire child.
* DeadStarWalking: [[spoiler:Robert Taylor is one of the most recognizable out of the cast, and dies almost immediately after the film begins.]]
* DeathByMaterialism: [[spoiler:Bigelow is devoured by the Patriarch when he opens the vampire's coffin while searching for valuables.]]
* DeathByRacism: [[spoiler:Bigelow]], the most outwardly racist of the passengers, is the first to be killed by the vampires.
* DecoyProtagonist: Plenty of people are set up as the protagonist, then promptly offed.
** [[spoiler:Captain Malone is initially set up as the protagonist, only to be torn apart by the ship's propellers during the initial boarding.]]
** [[spoiler:Jackson]] is given a ton of focus during the first act and is one of the few to take charge of the situation. [[spoiler:He's unexpectedly shot in the head by the German survivor before the vampires even start attacking.]]
** [[spoiler:Jane is set up as the FinalGirl, only to be infected and vanish during the final act until she turns up fully transformed into a vampire.]]
* DirtyCoward: Faraday, who hides all the food aboard the lifeboat so that he could keep himself alive a little longer at everyone's expense, freaks out at the slightest sign of danger, and eventually [[spoiler:contacts the Nazis via radio and tries to offer them British codes just to save his own skin]]. To his credit, he is apologetic about it.
* DownerEnding: [[spoiler:Though the ship is blown up, destroying all the vampires, Sinclair rescued an infected Jane, who promptly turns and kills him, before being rescued by a British ship.]]
* DwindlingParty: Par for the course for a horror film. Hell, two of the survivors die before the vampires even start attacking.
* GenreSavvy: Faraday is the only one who realizes how terrible of an idea it is to stay on the ship, especially when the bodies start turning up.
* HeroicSacrifice: An infected [[spoiler:Alexander]] remains aboard the ship to blow it up with an artillery shell to stop the vampires.
* {{Jerkass}}:
** Faraday is a sniveling coward with classist views.
** Bigelow is a racist, useless jerk who spends the entire movie whining and making crass remarks.
* OhCrap: [[spoiler:Faraday]] when he notices Maya standing right next to him.
* TooDumbToLive: Sinclair is ''constantly'' refusing to share vital information with everyone else for absolutely no reason.
