Bloodline Killer

This movie was painstakingly boring and the writing was ridiculously stupid. Actress Shawnee Smith plays the Matriarch of the Cole family, she tries to rebuild her shattered life after the murder of a family member by her deranged and obsessed cousin. Dont ask me why, I was trying my best to pay attention but I couldn't grasp the reason for the murderous rampage. I hope this film doesn't do a sequel because I didn't care about the characters, they seemed to flawed. The actress Tarryn Manning played a nurse in the film also, she's been doing a lot of grade B movies lately. Overall, I'll give it a 4 rating.

Although Shawnee Smith looking like Mary Steenburgen, I swear even her voice she was going to say " Emmit, Emmitt..help!! Just a silly reference to Back to the Future 3.

30 minutes in, ehh not bad. Decent cast not bad acting nothing special but some Scare Tactics here and there. I kind of just wanted to come in here and say something about Shawnee Smith but looks like I have to use up another 200 characters. But let's not forget her in the blob. That was classic. Although lately I've been watching the series Becker. She is a great character in that show. Also not bad playing with Charlie seen as his ex-wife in anger management.

It's pretty much Halloween, but with no chemistry between ANY characters. Op, Samantha actually has chemistry with her brother (one sided tho -funny but true). It even begins on 10/31. One of the sons was so far removed I kept thinking, is he the killer 😂. Plus, he seemed old enough to be the dad! The dialogue is HORRENDOUS. There's no backstory of Shawnee's character and Skully, just bits and pieces that things happened. Samantha is the only one who seemed real. Even the cops were lame and I'm a fan of Tyrese. The few fights that happen are dreadful too. This was tough to watch and I don't mean because I was scared. Zero idea how people are giving this good reviews. Maybe they're too young for 1978 Halloween 🎃 to know what great is.

The DUMBEST part (there are a few) is the rando female stopping in the SUV to ask if the cop was alright (when she saw what happened). Oh my goodness.

I like Shawnee Smith, and I have seen her for decades in many a' horror films over the years. But right off the bat, I was laughing out loud at the actor choice to play her grown son "Connor ". Not only is he a less than stellar actor, but immediately you can see that he's in his mid to late forties, playing the "son " to Shawnee Smith's character, Moira. After watching this slow moving bore fest, did I have to check the IMBD page to see if I was losing my age-gauge, or not. Alas I am not. He is literally 7 years younger than her,& looks exactly that. But that's not the only problem here. Nothing is finished or explained by the end. If it was, it was lost on me by the boring , drawn out premise. We learn how the killer finds them but nothing about where the lifelong grudge is stemming from, or any pertinent details. Total waste of time.

A different kind of slasher film, one that digs into what it means to be a survivor...Bloodline Killer has a decent enough cast and a solid premise, but it gets lost in a plot that never really goes anywhere...

The pacing was dreadful. Everything dragged so much felt like watching this for hours. It was really tough time get through... The dialogue was AWFUL. There were a few noteble actors yet no one really shined & can't really blame them though because this film didn't give them a lot to work with, but this was so disappointing...

The fight scenes and kills were ridiculous of not gory they could have tried to make them at least a little bit scary and inventive... Also hoping for an explosive ending to redeem this film, but it didn't come close to achieving that...
