Rare Blood

What a strange film !!!!!!! .. the acting from the two male leads (were they brothers, I'm not sure .. he said he had known him half his life !?!?) was dreadful .. hammy, camp and way over the top ... Olga the sister was like a panto villain

Dreadful.

Its great to see a professional glossy high quality thriller coming out of South Africa a superb cast make this a treat of twists and turns the scenery is truly awe inspiring so many good performances cant fault it 10 out of 10 for me

look forward to more form this wonderful director & cast

Title says it all.

The only narcissism in this film is that the script writer felt it was good enough to produce and self funded it.

I did actually find this film painful to watch, when I read the description of a "twist in the tale" I expected something more than the motivations of every typical TV drama murder ever just coming out. But hey, watch it in almost real time it feels that slow.

I actually regret watching, and sticking through the painful acting, and even more painful slow burn set up to see what the twist adds. Because anyone "reading the room" in the first few minutes are going to know what happens throughout this entire film, that just drags out. It's truly dull, and unrealistic at the same time.

I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I had to go out for an unbreakable appointment with 15 minutes to go and couldn't wait to get home to see the conclusion.

Fiona Ramsey was perfectly cast as the domineering and overbearing sister of Panos. I'm sure as I did, most people came to hate her quite early into the action.

Brendan Grealy was fantastic as the alcohol and drug fueled Psycho husband who became more menacing as the story unfolded.

The mother and daughter characters were again well cast giving credibility to a sometimes strange plot.

The main character for me was Mark Mulder as Gunther. He gave a superb performance with a great twist in the story.

I would thoroughly recommend this movie to anyone.
