The Bloodhound

The story is a bit slow but it works in the long run. The acting is excellent and the weird house creates a very spooky atmosphere. Did I understand all of it? No, but I still enjoyed it.

Is it a psychological thriller? Is it a monster movie? Is it a haunted house movie?

The Bloodhound is just weird enough to be compelling ... but too weird to make any sense.

Possibly, that's the point

It's one of those movies that you keep checking the time stamp to see how much time is left to answer a few questions. When you realize there's only five minutes left for the movie to explain itself, you get that sinking feeling ... it's gonna end the way it began. Weird.

I didn't hate watching it. Kind of a sensory experience. But, ultimately unsatisfying. Too many unanswered and unanswerable questions.

It's beautifully shot, and the boys are cute, everything else is just plain-ass weird, even worse, 'theater' weird.

Weird, super slow, boring movie. None of it made sense, and I had no idea if stuff was suppose to be real or a dream. Who is sewer dude? Just confusing, even the very end still made no sense. I was lured in by the trailer saying it was from producers of The Endless, which is a fabulously strange low budget thriller, but this just is a waste of film. Save yourself and go watch The Endless instead please. :o

And, a strange movie it is. But, really well done. If you liked Eraserhead you will like this movie. The plot is fairly simple -- "Old friend" wasn't really that much of a friend. No, this movie is all about the mood. The melancholy. I would watch it again in a minute just to see the absolutely perfect Mid-Century Modern house and furnishings. Whoever did the set totally nailed it. Top-to-bottom, accurate Mid-Century Modern.

Is it slow? Yes. Does everything make sense? No. But I don't think that was the point of this movie. If you need a tight little average story with an A-Z typical plot, this is not the film for you. If you like a film that conveys ambiance and disturbing, vague suggestions of a back-story, then you'll probably like it.
