The Blood Thins

The poster makes it seem like an 80's Horror film. It has some of that, but it's more of a mystery/thriller. I liked the A. I. element. I'm giving it a high grade because none of the movie was predictable and I hate predictable. It kept me guessing until the end which was the best part of the movie. It starts a little slow but builds the whole way. It's was a fun watch.

This is a thriller with an underlying mystery and some horror elements. I really liked it because the lead actress made an insane world seem real. The story was so unusual and it took me on the main characters journey, I wanted to know how she was going to figure everything out. I thought the musical score was excellent. I don't want to spoil, but I'll say that the secondary character was electrifying. Nice to click on a film I've never heard of and be pleasantly surprised. This is one that if they made a sequel I would actually watch it.

ACTING is a 9, the woman playing the lead is believable, her "friend" at the end gives a solid performance as well. I'd give the acting a 10 but there was a less than great performance by the husband in the beginning, kinda bland. STORY is a 8, it kept me watching all the way to the end which is rare for me, I turn off a lot of these indie movies at under 20 minutes and the end to this one was worth the wait. SCORE is a 6, it was fine but nothing special. CINEMATOGRAPHY is a 9, actually this is a strength of this movie, it looks good. SPECIAL EFFECTS is a 7, I mean, some was eye-popping and some just passable. DURATION, it's pretty short, I don't mind that. I have to say, it was different! I call this a popcorn-movie because it's a fun way to spend a Wednesday night when you're looking for something unusual.

First off, it's more of a thriller than a horror. The horror elements are effective but comes in bits and pieces. Not predictable. The actress is solid. Visually stunning. A little slow ramp up but gains steam and ends with a bang. I'll say that some parts were a little disturbing, but the story is different so it was worth the three bucks to rent on Amazon.

I wasn't impressed. The acting was .....alright. But the story was lame. Not interesting at all and quite predictable.

And it was incredibly short. Why? Obviously because it just lacked content. I don't see why all the high ratings for this are here. It certainly doesn't make sense to me.
