Dark Trip

I like this one - it takes us on a grotesque and absurd trip, drags us in a dark tale and into the void of growing madness. Michelle Monaghan gives a fine and emotional performance, the rest of the cast, including the kids, does also well. Different than some other reviewers I don't mind that the "reason" for the dark and twisted happenings is not revealed - make up your mind yourself, the experienced connoisseur of the art of horror (be it books or movies) can easy fill the blanks. What else? Blood reminds me of Hereditary or The Witch, movies that takes us along on a dark, disturbing path, where in the end something awaits us that we don't expect.

I wanted to like it.

When I saw Blood had Skeet Ulrich in it, I thought - okay this won't be a bad movie.

And I'm not saying that the film is bad. It had a good story idea, but just really fell flat for me, and dragged on way too long. It was highly predictable too, but I guess it is hard not to be with what is a 'vampire' film.

I'm not going to knock the acting, it was fine. The sets were fine, the directing was fine. It just didn't have me on the edge of my seat and I was struggling to watch it come the mid way mark.

I think it was just badly executed. It needed more action, it needed to have at least 28 minutes shaved off it.

The special effects makeup was quite poor as well, especially towards the end of the film.

I really don't know what else to say, apart from yeah it just left me feeling a bit blah.

Would I recommend Blood? Probably not. I really gained nothing from it.

It is really a very slow burn that really doesn't take you anywhere, besides what needs to be done.

One of the rare good horror flicks

If you're like me and you're done with the tired old horror flick template of jump scares that aren't scary, sewn closed mouths in mirrors, etc., and you find yourself riveted to your couch by the slow burn dread and horror of movies like Hereditary, the VVitch, the Ritual and so on, then Blood should be as good for you as it was for me. There are some truly creepy scenes, it's well written (mostly, more on that in a sec), and the characters are believable and interesting. My only complaint is the lack of explanation regarding the tree. That's just kind of left hanging... on the other hand, it, along with the post credits scene may be setting up a sequel??? If so, I'll be watching it.

Maybe not the horror movie of the year, but interesting at times.

The characters do not behave like morons. The behavior of people quite sensible for the situation. There is nothing explicitly expressed here, there is a strange problem with the child and the mother who, according to her, does everything to keep her son alive without considering the consequences. For a B-grade cinema, this is quite an interestingly developed plot of supporting characters. The biggest drawback is probably that it's not very scary. On the plus side, there is a slight suggestion at the end of the film that maybe we didn't quite see the same thing as the main character, but I think it's more of an attempt by the medical services to justify the phenomenon in general. As for me 6/10, not great not terrible, I do not regret that I watched it but do i recommend it? I don't know.

Watchable, but somewhat boring actually...

When I stumbled upon this 2022 horror/thriller titled "Blood", I must admit that I wasn't initially impressed with the movie's cover. But with it being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to find the time to sit down and watch it.

Writer Will Honley churned out a semi-adequate script for the movie. There were some interesting aspects to the storyline, for sure. However, the narrative was just too slow paced and there simply wasn't enough of things happening throughout the course of the 108 minutes to keep it all that thrilling and interesting actually. So director Brad Anderson just didn't really have all that much of a proper script to work with really.

The acting performances in "Blood" were fair enough, taking into consideration the limitations imposed on the actresses and actors.

Visually then you're not in for anything outstanding. But then again, "Blood" wasn't a movie that really relied heavily on having special effects. So the lack of impressive and bedazzling effects wasn't really a hindrance to the movie.

While I managed to sit through the entire movie, I have to admit that "Blood" just didn't have the stuff that mattered, and that made it a somewhat boring movie to sit through, especially since it took director Brad Anderson forever to set the stage for the final 15 minutes of the movie.

My rating of "Blood" lands on a generous four out of ten stars.

Quiz
In a 2023 interview with Film International, Brad Anderson spoke about the origin of the setting and the importance of ambiguity in horror stories: "In the original script there was a cave that the kids found as opposed to a dry lake with a tree and the tree was something I brought into it partly because we shot the movie in Winnipeg Canada where there are no caves but I also just like the idea of an old tree being somehow representative of whatever the potentially supernatural element is. There's a moment when she looks and sees bats going into the tree and you could think that maybe there's something in there, in the same way that bats were apparently the reason that COVID-19 kicked in. There are little references like that but image of a single tree in this sort of muddy little swamp to me was really creepy and intriguing and asks a lot of questions. There are little subtle things like there's a moment in the beginning when you see a picture from the people who lived in this house like a hundred years ago and it's the same tree but that tree is in blossom and alive, so it's died over the years and maybe it's become this kind of place where bad stuff lives. I would like to keep a little mystery in the story. I think the best kind of horror lives in between spots and it's not overly explained because if you over explain the monster then the monster loses its power to scare you. We did at one point flirted with the idea of seeing something in there like seeing a humanoid shape but I just felt in the end it's more interesting to let the audience ask that question whether they have an answer to it or not. There had to be a kind of reason why this kid gets infected, some sort of explanation, but you don't want to go too far with that, at least in my mind. I think it's better to have a little ambiguity in the story."
