Blood in the Water

It's a super clean story line, that takes you on a intense building plot with an unexpected twist that won't let you down. Great build to final reveal. Not a big production type movie but shot beautifully. All the actors had great chemistry and were totally believable, but Miguel Gomez intensity really stands out. They all have a great future ahead of them. If you enjoy small budget action films that rely on actors over special effects this is the movie for you. The story pacing reminds me of Sunset Blvd as you try to untangle the potential motives animating each character. Not all is what it appears to be with every twist and turn. It clocks in at a short 1.5 hours so it's an easy and enjoyable investment to make for a very entertaining film.

Blood in the Water is an intense sexy thriller that revolves around an attractive young LA couple, Veronica (Willa Holland) and Percy (Alex Russell), who while house-sitting in the beautiful Hollywood Hills gets visited by Percy's former frat brother (Miguel Gomez).

It shows the dangers of risky and illegal behavior and shows just how far one would go to keep the appearance of a lavish lifestyle. It also includes an edgy love triangle that adds to the deception and greed of the story. The scandalous behavior between the characters gives the plot momentum and leads to an incredible ending the I never saw coming. It also shows Veronica's skepticism of both men and includes her struggling between her feelings between the two. If you enjoy dramatic and engaging thrillers, I absolutely recommend this one.
