    Wait For Instructions

    There certainly is a LOT of WOW about this one. But Rosemary's Baby it is not.

    First off, it goes to show you only in today's WOKE society would two people be so stupid as to accept some sort of outlandish ritual fertility treatment such as the one featured here. No one is that stupid, except all you WOKERS.

    But funny, they go through all this kaakaa just to have a ridiculous ending like the one we get here. But at least the right person was killed although really, all of them should have been killed.

    The most disappointing thing, I guess the baby turned out normal after all.

    4/10.

    just arriving from my yearly menopausal break...

    This was actually a very nice surprise to start a new reviving reviewing season with. Its a film about the dream of a child, a dream that 99% of the world population dream about, namely to have a child. Unfortunately only 85% will come through the normal way, some percent via the tube method, and a tiny fraction come to our brave new world through magics, and thats what this film is about.

    Its allthoughits human thematics a horror genericly made film, it has its issues and does have a few strains that slips due to overuse of ultrasound gelatics, but the actors does a great job, the spirits of the acts are well done indeed, the special effects well executed on a moderate budget, even though the beginning and the end of the movie lacks some coherence, the grumpy old man finds this film highly recommendable, not a prescriptive method to make the big break of populating the planet, but a fresh idea to work on for others or maybe a sequel by the vampyrical production crew and bloodthirsty director of the film ''blood born''.

    It has its flaws ,but it reflects the desperation of those that hopes and prays, alittle goryhere and there, blood is inevitably connected to child birth, so whether faint hearted or not, it made me have a good morning hour watch. Have a look without expectation and youll be happy ever after.

    Was original and interesting until.......

    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.

    Interesting concept, but not an overly impressive end result...

    Stumbling upon the 2021 horror movie "Blood Born" from writer and director Reed Shusterman, I opted to sit down and watch it, simply because I hadn't seen it already, and also because of it being a horror movie.

    The movie's synopsis definitely sounded interesting enough, and I must admit that I do like the concept idea of the storyline and script here.

    However, the movie was just lacking punch and impact. Sure, the movie was watchable, but it was just not a horror movie that managed to stand out in the vast sea of horror movies. And I do believe, that "Blood Born" is a movie that I will most likely have forgotten about come next week.

    The pacing of the storyline was adequate, but there was just too little happening throughout the course of the movie to keep me sufficiently entertained. Sure, I sat through the entire movie, but I was only mildly entertained by what transpired on the screen. And I was missing that particular special ingredient to push the movie above and beyond the limitations of mediocrity.

    The acting in "Blood Born" was adequate, taking into consideration the limitations of the script and storyline. I wasn't familiar with anyone on the cast list, and that is something I enjoy. And that was certainly working well in favor of the movie, despite of the movie never rising above mediocrity.

    Sure, "Blood Born" is a movie that can be watched once, but it is doubtful that you'll ever return to watch it a second time. I know I am not going to do that.

    The ending of the movie was sort of very, very predictable and also very anti-climatic. It sort of made me feel like writer and director Reed Shusterman ended up slapping me in the face with a cold, dead fish after I had sat through that ordeal.

    My rating of "Blood Born" lands on a less than mediocre four out of ten stars. It was watchable, yes, but it just fell into a slump and never really managed to take me on a thrilling ride.
