Blooded

Things that are based on true stories do not work all the time. The way this is conceived and planned out, make it intriguing, but also quite flawed too. There are the main characters who tell us their point of view of what is happening. Now I'll leave it up to you to decide how much of a morality tale this is.

And who has the upper hand when it comes to moral supperiority. There are arguments to be made on both sides I reckon - but do we care enough for the main characters or their opponents to really engage in them? In a general matter of speaking I'd say we all have our own thoughts and mind made up .. but for the purposes of the movie ...

I have to say i wasn't really ever bored watching this movie but i must admit this mockumentary genre has really run the gamut at this point. Based very loosely on an apparent you tube video depicting the actions of an ELF-like animal rights vigilante organization, the story line attempts to convince the viewer that certain ridiculous scenarios actually coincide with reality. This is the kind of movie that if you go into it looking for reasons to pick apart a low-budget production you'll find them. Having said that i think this movie would have faired a lot better to have developed the characters a little better and spiced up the hunt with a few more surprises. I kinda felt like as soon as i got into it, the ending credits appeared. I felt the beginning and ending were decent, it was the rushed middle content that kinda let me down. Overall not terrible but could've been better.

At first you feel cheated by the film's 'documentary' approach. you know the character's survive because they're right in front of you being interviewed, but as the film picked up speed you realise that this isn't a slasher film and that character survival isn't important.

The film is a moral dilemma, are the hunters in the right as innocent victims? or are the animal rights protesters in the right for defending animals through drastic measures? Really, both are right, and both are wrong. But it's up to the audience to pick a side.

this refusal to pull the audience one way or another is a very strong narrative technique, the film will divide audiences, and some people will dislike it as a result, but those are the same people that will want to just see a straight horror film where the killer is known from the start and the victims are easily identifiable.

Strong performances, stunning visuals and a clever script help produce a fine film which is thoroughly enjoyable and will keep you thinking about it long after the credits have rolled.

One of the most boring films ever made!! Certainly not a thriller. The acting is incredibly poor and the 'churchy' moralising spoils any enjoyment left in the film. The film feels like watching a particularly uninteresting episode of crime watch with all the long, boring mocumentary interviews - I think a story about a old ladies purse being taken by teenagers would be more gripping than this! After watching it I researched where the film came from. It has clearly been 'self-funded' my some trust fund kiddies with more money than skill and seems to have flopped everywhere. They tried a 'viral marketing' campaign to promote the film but Youtube pulled it. They set up fake accounts to promote the film and even spammed movie forums - but no one is interested.

I don't think this film would even hold the attention of the most avid hunter. All I can say to the team that made this is don't give up the day job (or the money from mummy and daddy)!

The title of the film initially peeked my interest. I figured it was going to be a horror flick. The whole documentary idea was very distracting. Right when you thought the movie was getting a little dramatic, there's the documentary voice over. I mean, what is the deal with that? 30 minutes into the movie, I was bored out of my mind and could not focus and I rarely feel this way with movies. Even some of the bad ones. I was forced to fast forward it little by little until the whole movie was over. Than I'm like, "That's it?" It was beyond a "D" movie. Low budget to the max with highly untrained actors. Not worth the money folks. There were never a climatic part to the movie and the documentary approach made the movie far worse than what it already is. I recommend you watch this movie while you are asleep at night.
