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

Madeline J @madelinej13 43m Definitely twisted but dragged n too predictable on was over it half way through See more Jose L @RT62221350 6d It was boring untill the end . See more Charles S @RT60050394 Jul 5 Tense thriller with a realistic and creepy premise that makes it all the more suspenseful and anxiety provoking. The type of movie that will continue to live with you when you drive through desolate towns out West. See more Umutoni G @RT01569678 Jun 29 blood star is a dark and intense movie. the story feels very heavy and keeps you on edge most of the time. some parts are a bit confusing and not everything is explained clearly, but it still pulls you in. it has a rough and gritty feeling that sticks with you after watching. See more Alyss M @scar73 Feb 8 The premise is good but the lead actress is the dumbest brick ever. Every choice she makes is completely idiot, the movie leaves you frustrated and annoyed. See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Feb 2 Blood Star is a tense and disturbing thriller that follows a woman being relentlessly stalked and terrorized by a small-town sheriff during a routine highway stop. What begins as an uncomfortable traffic encounter quickly spirals into kidnapping, violence, and psychological warfare, turning the film into something far darker than expected. The screenplay is tightly written and does a strong job keeping the viewer engaged, constantly raising the stakes and shifting the direction of the story. The shocking moments, including extreme acts of violence, are intense and hard to forget, making this far from an easy watch. The director handles the material with confidence, showing both sides of the conflict without overexplaining or weakening the suspense. While some dialogue feels excessive at times, it rarely slows the momentum. The performances help sell the danger and desperation of the situation. Overall, Blood Star is unsettling, intense, and effective, offering a brut film See more Read all reviews
