If you are unable to distinguish what is real and what is fake in this movie, than your BS meter is broken. The bad acting readily identifies the fake astonished glances and contrived discussions about what the next step should be. The movie does a poor job linking the events and conversations into a believable tale that they just stumbled upon these circumstances. Bad mockumentary.

A crazy documentary where you don't know what's real or not

Undeniably original. Though you'll have to watch the entire film to appreciate that the earlier moments which may have felt a tad cliche & superficial were in fact deliberate in order to start establishing the foundation of what pays off entirely — but only when the whole thing has been seen will the film's layered narrative format & genuine intent come into total focus.

Globe and Mail

The film's structure is novel. A fact/fiction ambiguity works well, and genres are blended together like so much red dye and corn syrup.

Rated: 2.5/4

Grant's slippery presentation muddles his point - if he has one - but it's fun to guess at what's a put-on.

Fake Blood hardly distinguishes itself from the glut of mock-docs; it may be a refreshing break for the filmmakers, but viewers might prefer another zombie flick.

It's a twisted b-movie that makes a smart u-turn, turning the story inside out as the movie flips from asking questions to basking in danger.

Rated: 3/5

Cinema Crazed

The film is shot in a way that makes it interesting to watch with cinematography by Sarah Thomas Moffat and editing by Rob Grant.

Rated: 4.5/5
