Bloodthirsty

But once the story started to unfold, it seemed to start working with the characters through the characters to get somewhere and it did finally take us where it needed to go. Since it is a sort of psychogenic fugue type thing where the story dissolves from a big giant greyish obfuscated matter it could of been a little more taut with the material but like just in a few lil' areas. But regardless, it all worked out and the writing did its job and churned out something pretty nice. I would recommend it as a nice well-crafted story.

The cast has no quality, and ideas are very few. This movie of Canadian art-origin has no chance to frighten and has no suspense. Absolute lack of talent and all her songs are extremely poor.

I felt like it was more of a promotion for a singer rather than a real movie about a werewolf. The acting wasn't bad overall but the effects were iffy at times. No real character development and what was the point of the rude housekeeper? Save your time and money for another film.

While the 2020 movie "Bloodthirsty" is an interesting approach on the werewolf genre of movies, then it wasn't really an overwhelmingly good horror movie. This was more of a psychological supernatural drama than it was a horror movie.

The storyline told in "Bloodthirsty", as written by writers Wendy Hill-Tout and Lowell definitely deviated from the usual straight forward and no messing around tendency that there usually is in a werewolf movie. So if you sit down to watch "Bloodthirsty" and expect to see a creature feature with impressive human to beast transformation scenes and an abundance of carnage, then you will be sorely disappointed. Because that is by no means what "Bloodthirsty" turned out to be.

I found the storyline interesting, but the pacing of the movie was a bit too slow and mundane for my liking. And that resulted in director Amelia Moses delivering a lukewarm movie for me.

"Bloodthirsty" has a pretty small cast ensemble, but I will say that the cast really carried the movie well and put on great performances. Especially Greg Bryk (playing Vaughn Daniels), he was just phenomenally cast for the role. It was a shame, though, that Michael Ironside didn't have a larger part to play in the movie.

Visually then "Bloodythirsty" is not a movie that relies on special effects. There is a little bit of blood in the movie. And some fairly simplistic transformation scenes from human to werewolf. It wasn't impressively done, but the effects served their purposes well enough.

All in all, "Bloodthirsty" is a watchable movie, and an interesting and different take on the werewolf genre. But ultimately, the pacing of the movie just held the movie back from achieving greatness.

My rating of "Bloodthirsty" lands on a mediocre five out of ten stars.

I can smell something from you. Something primal.

Not sure how I found out about this movie, but it seemed promising with a high Rotten Tomatoes percent and critics saying that there's a lot of gore. And boy if that wasn't a big lie.

For an hour and 24 minutes runtime, this sure felt long. However, this slow pace made sense considering what the movie was aiming for. Some parts crept me out a bit, but the whole time I was hoping that this would lead to a crazy, bloody, and gory ending.

Sadly I didn't get that. Clearly this was a low-budget movie. Most of the gores were quickly edited and only the blood on the character's face was shown. Honestly if there's more dedication to the gore and designs, this movie could have been entertaining.

The acting was quite bad, especially from the actor that played the painter girlfriend. I did not buy her reactions at all. Also, one scene was incredibly cringe between her and the main character.

Overall, I was very disappointed with the boring ending and lack of real gore. 5/10.
