Blood Prism

Awful movie, terrible acting, poor plot and the lead actress is so unconvincing in her role it's laughable....Maybe that's the point? She tries too hard to be a physco but it just doesn't work,the only thing is scary about this whole movies is apparently she is classed as an actress.Whoever scored this higher than a 2 is clearly friends with the film makers and\or cast members.

1-3: Don't waste your time 4-6: Decent.

7-9: Good.

10: Outstanding.

I can't put my finger on it, but for some reason, this gave me Under the Skin or Beyond the Black Rainbow vibes. I think this is because the movie doesn't do much to help you understand the characters; additionally, the slow pacing of the film is similar to that of the other movies I mentioned, above.

I wouldn't call this a horror movie. Fantasy or mystery are better descriptors, I think.

The script was good. When I started watching, I thought that Cecily's dialogue was poorly written. The longer I watched, I realized that this was part of her character. If you find yourself disbelieving the dialogue, ask yourself how it may be hinting at unexplained elements of the characters.

Lead performances were very good. Alicia Seguin's performance is quite brave. Excellent soundtrack. Direction and lighting were also good. Special effects were competent.

Cecily is an interesting character that you want to know more about but, thankfully, the writers know not to give everything away.

I will likely watch this again.

Ok, it is a low budget flick. Start with the idea that you are watching someone's personal art and not a Hollywood mega-movie. There are lighting and sound flaws, but good camerawork. The acting is great considering the driving point is this lady's intensity and duality, a well played expression with a little exaggeration for effect and humor/shock. The story is weird and fun in a dark humor way, and the stylized slasher scenes have an adult comic book look and feel that I liked. If you're looking for something serious and thrilling, this is not going to be your cup of tea, but if you want a weird and fun psychodrama and don't mind the whole "indie film" vibe, I do suggest giving it a try. 7 out of 10 for originality, strangeness, and creative effort.

I liked this film more than I didn't. I can see why it was classified as comedy (In that dark comedy sort of way). Definitely a mixed bag but over all one i enjoyed and would watch again.

Pros: Story is fun and the lead actress does well enough with the part. It took a me minute to get into her delivery but once I got what she was going for, it worked. Her spear hand voice remind me of something else but can't put my finger on it.

Cons: Some poor audio mixing and shot framing. Soundtrack could have been better.

??: Subtitles showed broken hex color codes for some reason. Maybe it was my tv?

An artist on a mission assembles materials for her first exhibition, but love intervenes.

Naive film-making that tells an interesting story. Even allowing for the shoe-string budget, it's hard to forgive the poor quality of production in the first half, particularly the editing, sound and picture quality. But I really liked the lead performance, which had a stilted frankness. The actress also relishes cavorting in the nude - a true exhibitionist, which suits the story.

The quality improves as our heroine slashes her way through her victims, who are marked by the apparition of a shadowy figure. The high point is a genuinely good scene involving a door-to-door gospeller, which contains true blasphemy and a blast of black humour.

The theme is purpose in life - or purposefulness - whether in art, in spirit, or in love. You reflect who you are, and hope others see themselves in the reflection. Does it come together in the end? Well, the soundtrack over the final scene is from the Napoleonic wars, so watch and find out.

The music is a real rattle-bag, ranging from Fur Elise to a bit of punk, with a lot of creative commons stuff in the credits. Sounded good to me.

Overall: Plenty of sex and violence, but more a refraction through the blood prism that is life than a horror.
