Romey Norton Film Focus Online At its core, Blood Dried Hands is about a serial killer grappling with his conscience. The film is a thought-provoking thriller that transcends typical genre conventions. Its exploration of morality, redemption, and the human condition. Rated: 2.5/5 Feb 20, 2025 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Blood Dried Hands isn't the best film you're going to see, however, it's a competently made, engaging crime/horror/thriller with a terrific ensemble and some nicely constructed crime sequences that will leave you shook. Rated: 2.5/4.0 Jan 4, 2025 Full Review Norman Gidney HorrorBuzz A frustrating watch dotted with some genuinely effective sequences. Rated: 5/10 Nov 11, 2024 Full Review Morgan Rojas Cinemacy A new take on the conventional genre film, 'Blood Dried Hands' offers a unique perspective inside the mind of a serial killer. Nov 4, 2024 Full Review Bobby LePire Film Threat The blood and guts effects are revelatory. The cast is strong and engaging, even if the chemistry between the on-screen husband and wife is so-so.

Claire S Really enjoyed this thriller. Strong performances all around and a satisfying ending. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/19/25 Full Review Gavin M While some parts feel a bit drawn out and a few characters could’ve used more depth, the film still delivers where it counts. Tension, atmosphere, and some genuinely shocking twists. It’s not perfect, but it sticks the landing and leaves a lasting impression. Definitely worth the watch if you’re into dark, psychological thrillers. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/19/25 Full Review Marcus J Dark, twisted, and totally absorbing. A must-watch for fans of serial killer thrillers and psychological horror—this one drags you into the mind of madness and doesn’t let go. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/19/25 Full Review Jacob W A gripping serial killer thriller packed with intensity and unexpected plot twists. Keeps you guessing till the very end—definitely one of the better ones in the genre. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/19/25 Full Review Eduardo C This a pretty cool indie film. The killer is layered and sympathetic while still being a total monster. The detective feels a little like the current stereotype of smart female investigator that is in every tv show, but soon you realize she is tortured and haunted by her career and a recent miscarriage she had that makes her way deeper than on the surface at first. It felt a little long in some parts that maybe could have translated better as a miniseries rather than a feature film, but overall it was good film that makes for a promising debut for the writer/director. I can’t wait to see more. I’d watch a whole tv series from this guy. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/19/25 Full Review Daniel W This slow-burn thriller offers a chilling and unexpectedly reflective take on the serial killer narrative. At its center is a killer who loathes his own urges, tormented by a darkness he never chose. His desire to die isn’t about escape — it’s a final attempt to quiet the chaos within.
