2 minus that is.... its no more than a layman with a hd-cam drone production. very primitive and lousy soundwork.couldve been great if made in the early 1970's.

no recommend from the grumpy ol man

It could have been something good but ended up being rubbish

There were actually a very few good points about "Bloodhound", chiefly, its running time. I've seen worse films, though. ("Midsommer, etc). The acting in this movie sucked major balls. The cinematography was horrendous. The dialog was insipid and ridiculous. And the synth-heavy background muzak was beyond unbearable. I can't argue about the pace, though. At 70 minutes, it was fairly brisk, so that's a plus. In any case, this film was VERY bad, so avoid at all costs.

So bad took everything I had to stay awake. It was like it was filmed in the pandemic with no crew. Camera work is bad acting is bad don't waste your time less you need to get some sleep

"Blood Hound" begins a bit sketchy. The throwback noir homage with classic p.i narration over video diary cam work made me a bit apprehensive. But- full disclosure- I am kind of hyper-critical when it comes to found footage story telling. Still I did stick with the film, to give Miller's concept a chance. It is a great story idea, a private eye crossing paths with a very scary group and a situation that is deadly beyond the standard case.

The writing does have some moments of strong suspense and thrilling concepts. However there is a lot of the material that should have been re-evaluated or fleshed out more. The acting is decent, even in scenes that don't flow as smooth as they need to. It does get a little boring waiting for the energy and story to reach a level of suspense that says "horror". It takes nearly 50 minutes.

The story pace does amp up. The darker, scarier aspect of the story is entertaining. Still nothing really manifests to truly qualify as horror. "Blood Hound" does reach decent thriller level story telling. A couple of jump scares worked on me. Overall the film falls somewhat short of expectations, but there is enough here to find an audience. Just suspend disbelief and give yourself over to the found footage choice.

The more I watched this mess the less coherent and believable. And then I discovered that it is not even listed among movies. It has got to be some very sick person's joke and it isn't funny or worth 1 minute!

Abel Walker and his cameraman, Jim are on the hunt for a missing woman. As the plot thickens they find more than twists, and turns. They get mixed up in a game of murder.

While the plot sounds straightforward, the film is anything but. Writer/Director Jason R Miller has created a unique mix of neo-noir and thriller packed into this gritty little film that takes to the streets of Los Angeles and shows the darker side off like few films could.

The docu-style technique makes the audience feel like we are a part of Abel Walker's investigation. Ed Ackerman's performance as Abel Walker really gets us invested in this who-done-it story.

Another element I enjoyed is the film's slick '80s style synth score. It completes the mood of this unique film.
