Note de mikemoviefilmhammond
I stumbled across this film on Apple TV (had to pay to watch it though) as I generally enjoy films about zombies or dystopian films. It really didn't have many things in the way of reviews (kinda why I'm writing this one) - but I liked the trailer and the look/sound of it.
The things I did enjoy: the kills were gory, the acting was, in general, of a high calibre, I really liked a couple of the characters and cared when they died, the story line moved along at a fine pace and was sensible, easy to follow, some of the action sequences were tense and well drawn out, I really liked the ending (won't give it away) and the girl Natzi zombie was cool.
The things I didn't enjoy so much: it's too dark - like turn the lights up people. I don't get why it has to be so dark that sometimes you can't tell what's going on. A couple of the dialogue scenes seemed a bit too obvious or drawn out/explaining things a bit too much rather than showing it.
Not sure why this film isn't a bit more into the mainstream as it seems quite a lot stronger than some other mid-budget horror that is being thrown out at the moment.
I would recommend if this kind of genre is your thing.

Well, here we are again. We watched this last night in the cinema with about 15 other people. Why do I do this to myself? Because I love horror films. Love them. And I wanted so much to enjoy the first Blood and Honey, and I felt scammed. But with the promise of an increased budget and what appeared to be positive things being said about it, I thought I would give it another go.
The budget has been spent on three things. The costumes have been improved upon. And, they have clearly spent a lot on getting Tiktokers to say good things, and the admittedly clever use of marketing.
But, make no mistake, it's bad. I will say worse than the first, because here we can't try to partially blame a low budget. It falls firmly at the doorstep of bad filmmaking.
The director doesn't seem to know how to make a film scary or interesting or look good or get good performances or frame a good shot or create tension or.... Looking at their IMDB it would appear they have made ALOT of films. How is it that they don't know anything about what makes a film work? The writer shows no skill in creating a cohesive story with some muddled backpedaling to the original idea. It's also strangely boring. We didn't walk out like we did the first, as I had heard there was a rave scene at the end of the film. But it's not worth waiting for. Again, no tension, no scare, just some badly rendered gore, weird camera angles, bad lighting, jarring music and, like the first, kills offscreen.
The acting is bad. Here, one of the producers has cast (or rather mis-cast) themselves as Christopher Robin. I think making Christopher Robin a gay character is an interesting and novel idea. But they make absolutely no mention to it whatsoever. They also have a one expression look throughout and the Pooh confrontation is cringe. All the victims can't even scream with any level of believability. The parents for some reason both mumble their way through their lines (as if they received the script two minutes beforehand). And Simon Callow? Please fire your agent, immediately. You used to make good films.
Luckily there are lots of other good horror films on the horizon, made by people who know what they are doing. Another positive is met some nice other horror fans (who also hated this film btw).
But I am out with these. Officially.

First off, I really like this show. Is it award winning television? No. Is it an accurate depiction of how the FBI operates in Europe? Probably not.
But each week we have a new interesting story, in different locations outside of the USA which makes the show different and exciting.
The actors manage to elevate the material and reach the highs of each situation and emotion.
The change of cast for season 2 seems to work better as Smitty is more involved in the action.
The writing also feels stronger for season 2 with slightly more compelling weekly stories and I'm sensing the payoff for the overall arc will be more interesting.
Good, mindless entertainment - love it.
