Blood Craft

This is a regular, standard brand horror movie: traumatized sisters want revenge on their dead father. OK. The surprizing flaw here is the really amaturish acting. I just can't get over it. These people are not new to the work, Augie Duke has been in like 30 movies! Is it the Director? Certainly, some of the choices are pretty bad. Who walks into a bathroom and sits in the bathtub to have a conversation? Anyway, this is a script-o-matic, format film that could have been a nice, entertaining 90 or so minutes but instead I was interrupted by noticing the acting or strange stilted behavior which ruined the suspension of disbelief.

The dialogue is clunky and the story just doesn't make sense. The characters' motivations are all over the place and sometimes nonsensical. I feel like there could have been a decent story here but the script would have to be almost completely rewritten. I agree with other reviewers that the acting and special effects aren't great but it's nothing compared to how bad the writing is.

I was with it up until the sister incest thing. Started out as a way-low budget supernatural dark comedy - eh, that may have been unintentional. "Keep 'em guessing," as the director of this flick was saying. Two orphaned sisters raised by a nonce perv pastor father are reunited by his death. They both have this peeve about having been made their father's sex slaves and decide to re-animate his body with their mother's goofy magic rituals. Then they can get a fair bit of torturing on the scoreboards, too. Okay, I'm down with all that, seems fair. Then they forget what they were doing and bone each other in their childhood bedroom. DONE!

Just a big fat no! I was so distracted by Madeleine Wade's plastic, over filled Botox face that I couldn't concentrate on the rest. If the rest had been good enough my obsession with her face would have only been fleeting. The above should be enough to show how rubbish this movie is!

Seen a couple of the directors films, great efforts for an amateur filmmaker, usually using controversial subject matter to help sell the film. This is a cliche ridden film that really isn't worth the time. You really find yourself not feeling any sympathy for the sisters at all.

Some bad props.......the magic book looks like drawn by a three year old!? One Sister in the many (confusing) flashbacks seems to age quicker than the other by a few years, for some reason a nasty priest has married a witch?, The older sister....who also helped write the screenplay has far too much obvious plastic surgery and just looks freakish with huge cheeks and lips ......she is supposed to be a sexy dancer!? But she looks too old to be in this role (Whitney dressed as Britney) body is nice but what has she done to her face!? Acting is wooden although the vicar really gets into his role as a sadist, and the county clerk's Sheriff father is a great actor, not used enough, the story non sensical and you will find yourself talking at the screen saying wtf!? When they do stupid things........why hold a severed ear to own ear when supposed to be talking to it?? Add to that pointless incest lesbian kiss scene which added nothing to the lazy story. Let's not even mention the supposed SFX 😁 if it was gorier it would have added a star but they are dime store level after FX . ..... The coat hanger scene had promise but became unintentionally amusing.

Some of the camera work is great, and the director definitely has talent, this just seems like was a case of wrong cast and weak script with a cliche story. Given the right story and better cast he may be one director to watch.

Oh and to the other reviewer ...it's spelt "soul" 😁
