Blood Born

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

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.

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.

I don't know why but her acting really annoyed me 🤷‍♀️😆

For starters, this movie's production value is extremely high for an Indie film. (In my humble opinion). Not only did the actors come through but each sequence was well shot and you feel the parts you are meant to feel. This includes very well done, and slightly slow burn, gore scenes.

I loved the twist at the end (no spoilers), but I love how unique this movie was in taking on a story that has been done more than a few times. After the disappointment that was False Positive, THIS was the baby horror movie I didn't know I needed.
