Bloodline

When I saw the Blumhouse logo I knew it would be worth watching. I wasn't disappointed.

"Bloodline" has a good performance by the underrated Seann William Scott as a guy kind of like Dexter who kills child abusers rather than serial killers. He's a kind of psychopath who has no problem in offing anyone who mistreats children, making him a serial killer you kind of root for.

The movie convinces you it's going to be something different with graphic nudity in the opening scene, which is something that is actually a lot more rare in American movies than the graphic violence this movie also has in spades. It also features a surprisingly gratuitous childbirth scene.

By the end I was a bit let down, though. The movie doesn't really give you anything to think about when it's over, and doesn't do anything very different, though it does have one or two unexpected twists.

I love Seann William Scott. I also love serial killer movies. So I was surprised I hadn't heard of this movie prior to stumbling across it on IMBD. The musical score and movie style seemed a touch of camp to me, but that may have been intentional. Being a horror flick buff my whole life, campiness has not always a bad thing. Evil Dead is a gift of cinematic gold. With this in mind, and what I found to be a very pleasantly unexpected ending, I have to admit I quite enjoyed it.

Incredible experience of madness, cinematography and a captivating performance from Sean William Scott! Interesting how others reference Dexter, I guess I can see the similarities. The soundtrack is so damn good I absolutely love when horror has a dope tune to go with it! Very vibrant colors that go quite well with the scenery which is rare for a lot of movies. Nice mix of a loving family and menacing vibes along with some unfortunate cruelty.

The film kept me wondering what's going to happen in the long run. Seeing everything pan out slowly added to the suspense, I did enjoy the film, but this is a one time watcher.
