Phil Hoad Guardian 10/01/2024
2/5
British director Lawrence Jacomelli dons the appropriate outlaw squint for this cat-and-mouse thriller -- one that’s capable of picking out a sharp composition, too -- but ultimately his debut is too disjointed to hit top gear. Go to Full Review

8.5/10
The acting, the direction, the characters (including minor roles), and evermore tense scenarios are all executed to be fully immersive and engaging. For a debut film, Jacomelli proves he is a talent to watch. Go to Full Review

Sarah L Nov 28 This psychological thriller will have you on the edge of your seat. The tension continues to build throughout each scene as the unhinged sheriff, played by John Schwab, continues to terrorize his young victim. Like any good psychological thriller, you are left thinking and questioning long after the movie is over. See more Sami Z Jul 2 Blood Star is an intriguing survival thriller set in a desert landscape, with a refreshingly take on a serial killer. While the story is simple and doesn’t break new ground, it kept me engaged with its tense cat-and-mouse dynamic. It’s not the best in the genre, but as a debut film, it’s impressive and shows real promise. I’d recommend it to fans of stripped-down survival stories looking for something a bit different. See more Avindu G May 21 It's a road trip horror that would remind us of many classics from hills have eyes to wrong turn. With it's secluded dessert backdrop and the unique feature of villain it adds up to a great thriller. Despite the blood and gore it's a stark portrayal of the chain of abuse the unfortunate and unprivileged would have to endure. The evil lawman is a physical manifestation of prejudice. Bobby and Amy is an appreciation of women's struggle. Complimentary performances make this indie a success. Great audio effects and background music. Excellent visuals and special effects. It's a satisfying watch with no obvious errors. See more Les N Mar 25 Not a great movie...it must be the season. See more A.L.Jude P @judebd Mar 14 A gamut of plot holes made the movie somewhat surreal. So much potential had wasted to make it great. See more Jackie P Mar 6 I really liked this film, more so the second half as thats when the true grit and edge of your seat ride starts! First half a bit slower but the story is good and I guess it's building up. Loved the actors! Very well done See more Read all reviews
