Uneven but quietly true to its odd premise.

The lifeless script and bland performances damn the film and the unlucky viewers who find it.

a complex vampire film that delves more deeply into its characters than most modern horror pieces.

Film Journal International

Somber and suffused with a resigned sadness, it's a must-see for vampire-movie completists.

After a blood transfusion turns his son into a vampire, a single father runs against the clock to save his child from eternal damnation. "Aaron's Blood" is a vampire tale mostly interested in exploring a heartbreaking event in the context of parenthood. However, the movie fails to create in the viewer the emotional resonance it aims for, despite the relationship between father and son being at times convincing. The dull script and the uneven acting make this indie horror movie a forgettable experience.

This wasn't a bad film, but it was like a vampire movie that was also an afterschool special. It had some good moments but I'd never watch it again.

This film isn't primarily focused on the transformation into a vampire but rather explores the profound love of a parent for his son, who happens to have become a vampire. Plunged into an unreal and unconventional situation, the protagonist strives to unravel the mystery of how it happened and how best to aid his beloved son, who is gradually transforming into a creature of the night. Unlike typical horror, vampire movies, it doesn't heavily rely on "action" sequences. Whether this movie aligns with your taste depends on your preferences. It's refreshingly original, and I hope that films of this nature receive more recognition and attention in the future.

While it may not boast a substantial budget, the commendable acting, well-crafted plot, and skillful editing transformed this into one of my recent favorite horror films of late

Aaron's Blood delivers a unique and gripping twist on the vampire genre. The film follows the compelling story of a single father, Aaron, who must go to extraordinary lengths to save his hemophiliac son, grappling with the consequences of becoming infected with vampire blood. It's a tense and emotional journey that explores the intersection of parenthood and the supernatural, filled with suspense and heart-wrenching moments. The film's exploration of sacrifice and the lengths a parent will go to protect their child adds a powerful layer to the traditional vampire narrative. Aaron's Blood is a must-watch for those looking for a fresh take on the genre with a strong emotional core.
