Blur

A straight to Amazon Prime rental which is frequently successful as a horror film, and then sometimes not.

For a small independent horror film with a micro-budget (I guess that means self funded) it looks very good, this is one of the areas it succeeds very well. The camera and composition work is impressive at times, such as the opening desert sequence.

The acting is a bit hit and miss though, and some characters are dubbed, which was most noticeable in the desert sequence. The cop was good. The archeologist was good, mostly. The lead actress who is the friend of the archeologist is good on her own, but most scenes with others are more miss than hit. Especially the two friends talking in the living room.

The music was pretty good in that it added to the tension, but the pacing is very slow in this film. It is meant to be a "slow burn" but it takes too long at times. Film was almost 100 minutes long, could've benefited for about 10 to 15 minutes taken out.

The gore aspect was good, just should've had more of it.
