The Blood Lands - Grenzenlose Furcht

It's a good watch, I get the annoyance of many of the Scottish reviewers, but at the end of the day it's a film, designed to shocj and entertain.

InitilalIits nice and jolly, it's fun, then comes the switch. It's that switch that kicks the film into life, and is ultimately the high point of the film. As the terror switch is flicked the film is tense, gripping and intensely watchable, it's very realistic. Sadly as it develops past that it loses its way a little, becoming a little pedestrian, which is a shame.

The acting is very good, the production values are strong. It's a good film, it just falls flat after a high peak.

The Blood Lands for the worst movie on any streaming service. What was the point of this? Who were the bad guys? Why? This movie has no point. Are we to believe the Scotts are still mad about a 400 year old war? Don't even waste your time watching the preview . I could go on and on about the utter nonsense of this movie but I've already wasted enough of my life on this garbage.

This is your standard, move to new location, terror starts horror movie. It's really very predictable and at times very stupid (what the characters do), but I guess it all helps keeping the tension high. And in that it succeeds. The movie looks and sounds the part, even if there are bigger plot holes than it should be allowed to have.

The performances are OK, considering what sort of movie we have here. Although I reckon some might have issues seeing the main actress in a "weak" role like that, especially after having seen "The Woman". It's not that she is not able to carry that role, it's just that the role itself is weak. Script-wise that is. Whatever the case, this is bog standard fare, you might even like it

Except for the ending this is pretty much a well-made by-the-book home invasion horror tale. It looked good and the performances sold it. I was annoyed early on by the main characters... they're just the sort of rich city folk who move out to the country because it's 'charming' and proceed to ruin everything for the locals. The husband in particular seems like a self-centered jerk. Then bad stuff starts happening to them... and, though I never really found myself caring what happens to them, I did find myself rooting for the woman to at least make a good show of defending herself against the anonymous threat.

The real clincher is going to be how viewers take the ending. It's what sets the movie apart, it's the most interesting element... but it's also likely to rub many 'horror fans' the wrong way. For me it made sense and lifted the entirety of the movie to a higher level than if it had just... gone where I thought it was going.

Well , I thought I would give this film a chance as its a brit flick and I am British.

You can tell straight away that the locations are not in Scotland.

So anyway I waited and waited for the film to unfold and hope that some kind of story would unravel.

Instead I just lost 70 odd minutes of my life that I will never get back.

My advice is give this film a miss.

Im only writing more lines to finish the ten lines needed to post.

The film only deserves my review so maybe I can save others the time I wasted watching it.
