7/10
Where Blood Bound is careful not to be insensitive, it also tends to be too subtle for its own good, and the story is a downright slog at times. Go to Full Review
Brianna Zigler Film Inquiry 02/09/2019
It is this lack of self-awareness that makes Blood Bound a good film to watch if you're looking for 98-minutes of chuckles and seat-squirming, but you'll still be abundantly aware that it could've been a whole lot more. Go to Full Review

5/10
An overly earnest, deeply flawed horror flick whose continuity is as off-putting as its ending. Go to Full Review

03/14/2019 Great acting, fantastic direction! I was truly scared! See more 03/11/2019 This is a beautifully acted and directed movie. The slow burn is amazing and proves that life's greatest horror is having no choice. Kudos! See more 02/17/2019 Blood Bound" is a weighted story, with family dynamics, personal conflict, and social complexities. On the surface it is a story about the occult, and overcoming supernatural evil. But to its depth it is a character melodrama pitting self identity against clan mentality. And aesthetically the juxtaposition between backdrops of scenic beauty against such dark and damaged characters is total arthouse. At the beginning the story falters near to being forced, or convoluted. However it merely teeters there as characters become more developed and recognizable. It is mixed with some moments of quality acting and captivating storytelling. "Blood Bound" feels indie and at times it felt like a Lifetime movie, you know- the creepy kind they play during the Halloween season. I did keep asking "where's the horror"?! There is some horror in the film but it comes nearly an hour into the story. The supernatural elements are slightly weak, mostly coming off as "make-believe". They seem too understated. The occult aspects beyond that are done nicely, and really give into the witchy vibe that LeMay is going for. Overall "Blood Bound" fails to gain any major ground as far as the horror, but the story is a good one and the film is worth checking out. See more 01/31/2019 Interesting, original story with pretty decent acting. See more 01/25/2019 Wasn't too bad . I've seen a lot worse . But I've seen better. See more 01/19/2019 Ok premise. Could have been better acting. See more Read all reviews
