My Review Of "Blood Bound"

[ASouthernHorrorFan · 5/10 · 17 February 2019]

"Blood Bound" is a weighted story, with family dynamics, personal conflict, and social complexities. On the surface it is a story about the occult, and overcoming supernatural evil. But to its depth it is a character melodrama pitting self identity against clan mentality. And aesthetically the juxtaposition between backdrops of scenic beauty against such dark and damaged characters is total arthouse.

At the beginning the story falters near to being forced, or convoluted. However it merely teeters there as characters become more developed and recognizable. It is mixed with some moments of quality acting and captivating storytelling. "Blood Bound" feels indie and at times it felt like a Lifetime movie, you know- the creepy kind they play during the Halloween season. I did keep asking "where's the horror"?!

There is some horror in the film but it comes nearly an hour into the story. The supernatural elements are slightly weak, mostly coming off as "make-believe". They seem too understated. The occult aspects beyond that are done nicely, and really give into the witchy vibe that LeMay is going for. Overall "Blood Bound" fails to gain any major ground as far as the horror, but the story is a good one and the film is worth checking out.

Not a great one

This film was a little too slow and boring. Storyline was also a bit predictable. Still lovers of horror movies would love this anyway.

I Want To Know Everything

[wandernn1-81-683274 · 5/10 · 22 June 2020]

I like the door kicking beginning...that was decent...

Okay so it turns out Sally Soforth, the sheriff's daughter, is part of a door kicking home invasion group. They end up breaking into the wrong home, the home of some spell slinging blood cult.

The premise is kinda cool. A little bit of Rosemary's Baby in here but of course no where close to that kind of cool..

It really would be lame to be mind controlled by someone else.

Okay weird ending but appropriate.

Really this movie just kinda averaged its way through everything. No big ups, no big downs.

Not too impressive. Not too Disappointing.

5/10

King Rip Off

[arfdawg-1 · 1/10 · 18 January 2019]

This movie is sort of a rip of of a Stephen King book/movie. Only it's not good. The acting is horrendous. There's a semi hot chick with nice knockers in a mustang convertible early on who absolutely ruins the attraction when she opens her mouth. She can't act herself out of a paper bag.

Her boy toy boyfriend is just as bad.

The story drones on and on with no direction. It's slow. It's boring. You will hate it.

Slow Brooding Horror!

Wow, what a great flick! The movie is visually spot on and the cinematogrophy does a great job of marrying beautiful imagery with darkness and despair. Ultimately a story of karmic debt and bad choices made all around, but painted with a deft hand at storytelling. While measured in pace, the slow build leads to a big payoff, so it was worth it! The cast did a great job also!! Oh yeah, I really loved the score. Simple and Haunting!

If you are looking for a Rob Zombie gore fest then this is not the movie for you. But if you are looking for a creepy and (Bloody) tale of witches and demons told through the viewpoint of Generation Z then this is your film.

For lovers of "It follows", "Rosemary's baby", and "The Witch".

Not My Cup of Tea, But Not Bad

[Dark_Lord_Mark · 6/10 · 13 March 2019]

I will say the movie is not a bad one. It's a horror mixed with...well I think this is a dark version of Twilight.

It was not a good movie, but the acting was nice. As someone said, the chick needed to be hotter. You don't really feel for a decent chick, as you would a hot chick.

The movie is about a cursed family that needs to kill people and a member of his family every quarter century or so.

Three thieves break in and get a rude awakening. The movie needed more sex appeal really, but no a BAD movie, just a bit too much Twilight influence and a lot of the same pacing.

Not a bad movie, not very fun, but decent effort...just not my thing.

Pretty adult themes, I will give it a 6 easily.....some talent is int the movie....

Not bad, not great.

I was pretty surprised by this movie. It's not a great movie, but the pacing seems decent. Do not rob people expecially if the practice the ocult. If you have nothing else this is a decent watch.

Amazing!

This is not only a surprise but a genuinely moving and creepy experience. The attention to detail is evident from the beginning and takes you on a slow, methodical journey to a dark and shocking conclusion. Highly recommend this film to anyone who likes good story telling. A+

Underrated.

[aaroninwales · 7/10 · 24 July 2020]

Intelligent and well done on an obviously low budget.

Main parts are acted and written well. Honestly could have been an hour longer and I would have still rated it highly.

No good guys and bad guys, various shades of grey everywhere (well apart form the last 30 seconds).

Really enjoyed it.

its painfully slow

[ops-52535 · 6/10 · 15 January 2019]

Its a devilish flick for sure, its blood bound so to speak, with witches, monsters,crooks, virgins,spells,enchantments and fear. its an esthetical piece of art in all its simlicity, the acting are at times very good and so are also the filmography. its not the most scary thing ive seen,but it has for sure an unexpected ending and are at times very emotional.

but the pace are far too slow, i'm not a profesional movie reviewer, so i can admit that i started the screening at normal, then rushed to 1,12, so 1,25 and in the end i took a dervish dance at 1,5 speed and almost forgot why the film ended so fast.unethical yes,but some flicks has a pace that can be adjusted without getting the bends anyway, so i cheated a little.....

they genre this film as a horror thriller, i will adjust that to psychological horror drama, because its all about existestial claustrophobia. i recommend a watch even though im just awarding it as a 6 star movie.the rest is up to you.

Pleasantly Surprised....

So much to like about this film. First, Director Richard LeMay does an outstanding job in keeping the audience on their toes, as there are many twists and turns (hint, don't look away, you might miss something!). Second, the cast did a great job (Edin Brolin and Kevin S in particular) in getting you INVESTED in their characters. Last, the overall story keeps you on your toes. Typically, this isn't my type of genre, but I found myself addicted to "what will happen next." Loved the movie, will watch more of Mr. LeMay's work.

movie released year
