Watchable, but somewhat boring actually...
When I stumbled upon this 2022 horror/thriller titled "Blood", I must admit that I wasn't initially impressed with the movie's cover. But with it being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to find the time to sit down and watch it.
Writer Will Honley churned out a semi-adequate script for the movie. There were some interesting aspects to the storyline, for sure. However, the narrative was just too slow paced and there simply wasn't enough of things happening throughout the course of the 108 minutes to keep it all that thrilling and interesting actually. So director Brad Anderson just didn't really have all that much of a proper script to work with really.
The acting performances in "Blood" were fair enough, taking into consideration the limitations imposed on the actresses and actors.
Visually then you're not in for anything outstanding. But then again, "Blood" wasn't a movie that really relied heavily on having special effects. So the lack of impressive and bedazzling effects wasn't really a hindrance to the movie.
While I managed to sit through the entire movie, I have to admit that "Blood" just didn't have the stuff that mattered, and that made it a somewhat boring movie to sit through, especially since it took director Brad Anderson forever to set the stage for the final 15 minutes of the movie.
My rating of "Blood" lands on a generous four out of ten stars.
