Dry Blood (2017)
8/10
A solid and disturbing horror film. (Don't listen to the jaded haters.)
26 January 2019
This was a genuinely good indie film. Very dark, very disturbing, and will sometimes push it too far for more sensitive viewers, but extremely well crafted. The acting is a mixed bag but the lead and protagonist are solid, so it doesn't get in the way of the story. The effects are pretty seamless which is a big plus. There were moments that made me jump yet the story pulled me in and didn't let go. Shades of The Shining yet its own unique vision. Great sound mix and music, too.

I don't know what the one star reviews are about. Yes, it's a low budget movie with limitations but the production is anything but armature. People are just getting way to jaded and as a result they're smothering good content with preconceived notions of what's good.

Like most movies there's room for improvement but I'd say it's leaps and bound better than 95% of the indie horror films that are coming out these days. I look forward to seeing more from this team.
