What do you call a vampire movie with no teeth? Blood.

Full Review | Mar 11, 2023

Once things turn to the more supernatural, then the movie slowly loses its grip as Jess’ life gets out of control.

This adolescent vampire tale goes downhill so fast it turns inadvertently from horror to comedy.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Feb 3, 2023

Directed by Brad Anderson without a hint of humor or camp, “Blood” is effective enough in its grisly way, but gruesome and unpalatable.

The drama is mostly flat, and the true horrors of Owen's condition only manifest when the movie is nearly over.

Full Review | Original Score: C+ | Feb 1, 2023

Had that moral ambiguity felt intentional the film would have been at least provocative. The fact that it does not is alarming, but not in a way that makes the film more enjoyable.

Blood's biggest flaw is letting us glimpse at a better movie that could have existed with just a little more writing time.

"Blood" delivers plenty of the titular substance but not much else of note other than a couple of decent scenes here and there.

Caught between an earnest drama about fractured families and a campy cannibalism saga, this thriller is boosted by solid performances before becoming narratively anemic.

To be sure, Anderson can deliver effective shocks and the cast’s commitment to the material certainly helps. Unfortunately, neither he nor Honley have a clever enough third act up their sleeve to leave fans of intelligent horror fully sated.

It's mostly pretty generic and familiar, apart from ... the complete conviction Monaghan brings to material that's otherwise pretty thin...

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 26, 2023

It’s not that it’s been done before; it’s that it’s also been done better, with more vigor and greater reinvention. Blood runs thick, in that it’s hard to trudge through.

The writing tries to stretch a decent idea for 105 minutes of movie, losing so much potential to an uneventful second half.
