Blood Born

This was actually a very nice surprise to start a new reviving reviewing season with. Its a film about the dream of a child, a dream that 99% of the world population dream about, namely to have a child. Unfortunately only 85% will come through the normal way, some percent via the tube method, and a tiny fraction come to our brave new world through magics, and thats what this film is about.

Its allthoughits human thematics a horror genericly made film, it has its issues and does have a few strains that slips due to overuse of ultrasound gelatics, but the actors does a great job, the spirits of the acts are well done indeed, the special effects well executed on a moderate budget, even though the beginning and the end of the movie lacks some coherence, the grumpy old man finds this film highly recommendable, not a prescriptive method to make the big break of populating the planet, but a fresh idea to work on for others or maybe a sequel by the vampyrical production crew and bloodthirsty director of the film ''blood born''.

It has its flaws ,but it reflects the desperation of those that hopes and prays, alittle goryhere and there, blood is inevitably connected to child birth, so whether faint hearted or not, it made me have a good morning hour watch. Have a look without expectation and youll be happy ever after.

Give it a look......sorta like a modern day Rosemarys Baby!

This is an original take on the topic of an unnatural pregnancy, and it turned out to be a lot of fun. Unlike the disjointed and forgettable recent Hulu movie with a similar theme (False Positive), this one is well-plotted with memorable lines and solid characters. Embedded with a quirky humor, balanced against moments of increasing suspense and horror, the writing takes you along what, in real life, would be an absurd proposition: a magical pregnancy. But the ride is worth taking because of the plot developments and the excellent acting. Melanie Haynes as Ola pulls off the difficult problem of being a sympathetic grandmotherly figure who may not be as harmless and kind as she seems. Rosie Moss and Antoine Perry are a couple with real chemistry, and Cole Gerdes gets to chew some scenery at the doctor. Cinematography is really excellent for this sort of film, the music works well and the setting (mostly in one house) is textured and appropriate.

All in all, the film is a fun ride, and I recommend it.

The film was ok but I'd say it's more like a comedy, the old lady Ola was so funny at times.

A young couple has struggled many times with conceiving a child and are at the end of their rope when a friend recommends an unconventional route which involves a group that practices magic and promises success in getting women pregnant.. I was curious about this movie and was initially very entertained as the story developed and introduced some odd methods to get the wife protagonist pregnant; I felt it took creativity and it was amusing to watch the "witch" come up with something different each scene. However, by the second half the movie grew weaker with some shabby acting performances and even worse laughable CGI. Then main characters who had started out strong seemed to be phoning it in but I think that may be in part due to the script. What had started as a decent although low budget movie seemed to descend into a first year film student's project by the end. I gave it a 5 because I believe it is not that bad and deserves a view and hat's off to the devotion to the unusual plot.
