Blood Prism

Lead actress is unique, story catches your attention and keeps it all the way through

It's an odd film Blood Prism, while most of the acting is of a poor quality I truly believe this is intentional due to the overwhelming positives this film contains in spades in other areas.

The lead actress delivers in my opinion a stunning performance that is so unbalanced yet essentially charming...robotic yet organic, it's truly something to behold, the other actors in the film fail to keep up with her, again maybe by design.

The horror elements are the strongest though and the director has a real ability to stage an atmospheric sequence, with great Argentoesque lighting in some scenes.

It also contains a compelling and atypical soundtrack...with some Lynchian elements...this extends to some of the dialogue to be fair.

I really liked this film although I was unsure if it was going to end well, it did better than most horror films.

A future indie horror cult classic.

I liked this film more than I didn't. I can see why it was classified as comedy (In that dark comedy sort of way). Definitely a mixed bag but over all one i enjoyed and would watch again.

Pros: Story is fun and the lead actress does well enough with the part. It took a me minute to get into her delivery but once I got what she was going for, it worked. Her spear hand voice remind me of something else but can't put my finger on it.

Cons: Some poor audio mixing and shot framing. Soundtrack could have been better.

??: Subtitles showed broken hex color codes for some reason. Maybe it was my tv?

I will credit this movie with being an interesting composition. If you watch R. O. T. O. R. Or Terror at Tenkiller enough times you see what the filmmakers are aiming at, and the director and lead actress really do have a something that they are going for.

I would be a liar if I said I did not enjoy the scenes that are only appropriate for adults. I'm human, all too human.

On the whole, I found myself walking alongside this story and getting the point.

Ok, it is a low budget flick. Start with the idea that you are watching someone's personal art and not a Hollywood mega-movie. There are lighting and sound flaws, but good camerawork. The acting is great considering the driving point is this lady's intensity and duality, a well played expression with a little exaggeration for effect and humor/shock. The story is weird and fun in a dark humor way, and the stylized slasher scenes have an adult comic book look and feel that I liked. If you're looking for something serious and thrilling, this is not going to be your cup of tea, but if you want a weird and fun psychodrama and don't mind the whole "indie film" vibe, I do suggest giving it a try. 7 out of 10 for originality, strangeness, and creative effort.
