Featured reviews
Plot had some major holes in it, and the dialogue and expressions of all involved were bereft of any substance. At times the background music was so loud you could not make sense of what was said on screen.... Could have been so much more than it ended up being.
Terrible plot, awful cast and laughable continuity.
Pay close attention at rental car colour.
Although this horror movie is so bad that it does not need explanation why, it is definitely not the worst. Unexplained, unfinished, fake, no effects, low quality, bad actors. Through association it becomes better, for example main character reminded me of myself by look, age, behavior, his searching looked similar to real life searching, being worried, asking for help. Also characters look serious and behave real enough except towards end. Although location looks ideal for horror, lack of more people, events, places makes it look so fake. Overally, bad, fake, boring.

Blood Myth was a refreshing horror movie to watch in an age of jump scares and gore. The story is slowly paced but expertly unravels, building creepy tension and a dread filled atmosphere which pulls you in.
The acting is great and in the tradition of American Werewolf and Wicker Man, there are some genuinely creepy locals in the village the film takes place. The lead is very good at portraying an everyman character and everything he does makes sense unlike some horror films where the protagonist does stupid things and walks into danger.
If you like slow-burn horror/thrillers then you will appreciate Blood Myth. The story builds towards a great twist (don't watch the trailers - it will spoil it) and I was very satisfied with the payoff. Like all great mysteries, it doesn't give you all the answers and leaves you wanting to know more.
