Dry Blood

Had potential to be a really good movie but it was really slow and the acting had me cringe. I had stopped it just before it was over, couldn't even bring myself to finish it.

Trailer was cool. So I gave it a.look. I almost didn't make it through as it's so dull until about hour in. Acting is watchable for most part but also but cringeworthy in places. As a lover of gore and splatter the ending had me pleasantly surprised. Great mix of practical and cgi which for a low budget film was better than average. The acting became better in the year crazy moments and I found myself reminded of Ash in Evil Dead when he's covered in blood and laughing insanely. I'd have had a lot more happening during the first hour to maintain interest but the ending was fun.

A good attempt at a tired cabin in woods tale.

Acting was decent but obviously strained during emotional peaks. Special effects and death scenes were surprisingly good, though a bit too gory. Better directing could have built up the suspense better so some of the gore wouldn't have been needed. Story was a bit predictable but decent. It's definitely better than I expected for a low budget indie film. Perfectly fine for a lazy day movie marathon.

I came across this just randomly scrolling, and in typical me fashion, I gave it a chance. I'm not going to say it blew the doors off, but it was definitely worth a watch. It starts off really slow, and the acting is terrible, them two things alone almost took me out of it, but I'm happy I let the film play out. There's some great practical effects work in this, the gore is great, it's surprisingly shocking in a few scenes, and even the CGI was effective. The bad part of this is the story gets a little convoluted at the end, and the acting is dreadful (like I stated up above). Fortunately the run time is less than 85 minutes, so you can get through it pretty quick. The 7 is probably a little generous, but overall I had a good experience with it, so I have no issue putting it...

Listen, I've seen A LOT of terrible movies in my 29 years of life, but this one is right up there with the worst of them. It's a B movie at best, the acting is absolutely atrocious, the writing is a joke...I feel like Ashton Kutcher is about to pop out from somewhere and tell me that I've been Punk'd. I'm not going to bother going into the details of the movie beyond the fact that it's impossibky to follow, it makes zero sense, and it's utterly incompetent. I haven't written a review in about 8 years but I felt like I had to...Don't waste your time.
