Blood Conscious

The storyline really has potential but the script was horrendous. Whoever wrote these lines for the actors should stay away from script writing forever. I can't really blame the actors for their poor performances since they were handed such a bad script and the plot was just poorly executed. Please don't waste your time unless you have no life.

Terrible film - acting from 3 main characters not bad, but the rest were awful and worst storyline ever.

I'm not usually a thriller/horror fan, but I thought this simple indie flick was awesome. The quiet, classic setting, the small but excellent cast, some well-timed jump-scares and a great soundtrack combined to provide a synergistic delight - much better than the sum of its parts. Reflecting after watching, I found there had also been some deeper themes. How had race played out, and male/female roles? How had paranoia unfolded, as the players (and the viewers) sought to identify and label the "good" and "evil" characters? And why did I so yearn for a clear, clean ending in a movie where those values were so scarce? Hats off to these indie filmmakers - keep it coming.

So, annoying people are heading to a cabin for the weekend with the parents (brother and sister plus her fiancee). When they arrive, a stranger claims that people are being possessed by demons. And that's about as far as the movie progresses. Annoying characters and an unresolved plot. Ho hum.

Like quite a few other people, it is easy to get sucked into the ratings game and base a film on its latest score.

With that in mind, an 83% score on RT would appear to be a good starting point, right?

Wrong.

This film was a cheaper-than-cheap amateur fest with a cast that appear to have been plucked out of the nearest drama school's reject cupboard. There's no story, no tension, no scares, and I reckon that even the 3 main characters were trying their very best not to burst out laughing throughout.

So you have to ask yourself how and why this garbage gets an eye watering 83% score on another well known review site. If critics cannot be honest in their appraisal of a film, then they are demeaning themselves, the movie industry, and most obviously the viewing public.
