Blood Prism

I get that this is a low budget movie, but I wish they spent more of it on actors. While some of the cast performances are quite ok, the movie for me got ruined by overacting - all the forced eye-bulging, facial expressions that do not fit scenes and robotic delivering of text by main lead. Probably it was on purpose, but it just did not make much sense.

1-3: Don't waste your time 4-6: Decent.

7-9: Good.

10: Outstanding.

I can't put my finger on it, but for some reason, this gave me Under the Skin or Beyond the Black Rainbow vibes. I think this is because the movie doesn't do much to help you understand the characters; additionally, the slow pacing of the film is similar to that of the other movies I mentioned, above.

I wouldn't call this a horror movie. Fantasy or mystery are better descriptors, I think.

The script was good. When I started watching, I thought that Cecily's dialogue was poorly written. The longer I watched, I realized that this was part of her character. If you find yourself disbelieving the dialogue, ask yourself how it may be hinting at unexplained elements of the characters.

Lead performances were very good. Alicia Seguin's performance is quite brave. Excellent soundtrack. Direction and lighting were also good. Special effects were competent.

Cecily is an interesting character that you want to know more about but, thankfully, the writers know not to give everything away.

I will likely watch this again.

Awful movie, terrible acting, poor plot and the lead actress is so unconvincing in her role it's laughable....Maybe that's the point? She tries too hard to be a physco but it just doesn't work,the only thing is scary about this whole movies is apparently she is classed as an actress.Whoever scored this higher than a 2 is clearly friends with the film makers and\or cast members.

I will credit this movie with being an interesting composition. If you watch R. O. T. O. R. Or Terror at Tenkiller enough times you see what the filmmakers are aiming at, and the director and lead actress really do have a something that they are going for.

I would be a liar if I said I did not enjoy the scenes that are only appropriate for adults. I'm human, all too human.

On the whole, I found myself walking alongside this story and getting the point.

It's an odd film Blood Prism, while most of the acting is of a poor quality I truly believe this is intentional due to the overwhelming positives this film contains in spades in other areas.

The lead actress delivers in my opinion a stunning performance that is so unbalanced yet essentially charming...robotic yet organic, it's truly something to behold, the other actors in the film fail to keep up with her, again maybe by design.

The horror elements are the strongest though and the director has a real ability to stage an atmospheric sequence, with great Argentoesque lighting in some scenes.

It also contains a compelling and atypical soundtrack...with some Lynchian elements...this extends to some of the dialogue to be fair.

I really liked this film although I was unsure if it was going to end well, it did better than most horror films.

A future indie horror cult classic.
