The Blood Thins

The only thing that made me keep watching this movie is that it was filmed in the beautiful Lowcountry of South Carolina where I live. I only knew about it because of the magical voice of Savannah Grace And I knew her music would be featured in the movie. The music did not disappoint! And was glad to hear the main character call her name. Nice plot twist at the end but not well acted.

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.

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.

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.

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.
