Terror strikes when the armed murderer confronts them, alleging to be fighting demonic forces that had possessed them all. They pin him down and lock him up in the cellar, but soon he claims to not to be alone down there. As unexpected and traumatic events keep unfolding, they will have to find a way to survive the night without turning on each other, or becoming possessed.

Blood Conscious is a quick, small-scaled thrilled that offers some humor to balance the darkness. It favors mood over the story, but Covell more than succeeds in leaving you hanging on its core question right until the very end.

If you're going to have an over-used 'stranded in the woods with a murderer' plot, then you better be able to deliver a well-made story that's actually scary ... Blood Conscious [is] tedious, derivative, and amateurish junk.

Smart writing that uses real life horror to tell a paranoia filled story of trust and relations.

Assignment X

Blood Conscious has admirable ambitions, and works as a broad outline. But the devil is in the details, and he's insufficiently persuasive here.

Blood Conscious is ambitious, intriguing and tense, and explores the "what-ifs" within the context of race.

The movie is extremely slow with only a few jumpy points. The is no visual of anything scary, it's just written for your imagination to tell you it's scary with no confirmation. Low budget, low quality, okay storyline, but not enough to keep me interested. And the end what's that all about, a gun or two after the cut scene would have added to the intrigue.

Tedious and superficial! Not even the reasonable acting is enough to save this low budget indie. An explosion of paranoia with absolutely no sense or credibility!

When the vacationers find everyone dead on their side of the lake and trap the suspected killer, they find out there's more to it than murder. The possession aspect could've been cool, but the lines and acting were just so bad.

Nice mood and some nice undercurrents, but they're ill defined. Wasn't sure if this was good or not, but the way it ends made me sure these undercurrents had no place to go. The writing turned out to be weak. A lot of promise but little payoff.

Poorly written, directed and acted. Little to no budget. Nonsensical choices made by the characters and not scary whatsoever.
