Brad Anderson’s “Blood” aims to be both a chilling horror thriller and an ethical exploration, posing the question, “What would you do?” Unfortunately, it falls short on both fronts, lacking the necessary intensity for horror and failing to engage on an ethical level. Michelle Monaghan’s performance as Jess, a nurse navigating a tumultuous divorce while grappling with a dire situation involving her son, stands out amidst a lackluster plot. The film introduces a compelling premise—how far a parent would go to save their child—but falters in its execution, leaving Jess’s actions feeling inconsistent and detached. Anderson, known for successful horror films in the past, struggles to sustain tension and coherence, resulting in a conclusion that provokes unintended laughter. Despite Monaghan’s efforts and a few notable scenes, “Blood” ultimately fails to deliver a satisfying cinematic experience. Visit afdah movies for more!
