A separated mother and nurse called Jess (Michelle Monaghan), moves with her daughter Tyler (Skylar Morgan Jones) and young son Owen (Finlay Wojtak-Hissong) back into her old farmhouse. Unfortunately ideal circumstances are not afoot in the creepy mansion. Shortly after settling in, Owen is bitten by the dog, resulting in a mysterious infection from the bite. Tensions rise with a horrific event that seems to be coming back !.. Fear is a place !.
The director of 'The Machinist' or the cult film 'Session 9', Brad Andenson, returns to the cinema, after a television period with this horror film, Blood (2022). A bloody and dark story of genre cinema starring Michelle Monaghan, (Mission Impossibe III), in which a mother's love surpasses all the limits of ethics and religious morality. Monaghan gives a good performance as Jess, a recently divorced young nurse who, after her separation to Skeet Ulrich , moves with her two children to her aunt's lonely farm. Events lead to terrible results when an evil is unleashed and there is an insatiable need for blood. According to director Anderson: "What attracted me to this story is that it was able to interpret the deeper aspect of the family drama, the torment that this mother is going through and her fight to keep her children safe, along with the more supernatural and dark subtext¨.
Intriguing film containing terror, drama, thrills, chills, suspense , plot twists and results to be entertaining, but a little slow. Brad Anderson is also the author of the script providing tense, eerie, and bloody scenes. The highlight of the film is the opressive atmosphere, including the vast, eerie rooms from hospital, housee, night exteriors and the sinister image of a single tree in this sort of muddy little swamp to me was really ghostly.
This displays a somber and appropriate photography for the spooky events that take place, well shot by cameraman Björn Charpentier. Likewise, a thrilling and suspenseful score by Matthew Rogers. The motion picture was professionally directed by Brad Anderson, though results to be a bit boring. Anderson won the award for best director at the Sitges festival. Anderson's first films were: 'Darien Gap' and 'Next Stop Wonderland', and following the successful ¨Session 9¨. He is a good filmmaker who has directed thought-provoking and thrilling films such as ¨Happy accidents¨ , ¨Transsiberian¨ with Woody Harrelson , ¨Stonehearst Asylum¨ with Kate Winslet, ¨The machinist¨ with Christian Bale , ¨Session 9¨ with Peter Mullan as a hazardous materials contractor who bids on a job to remove asbestos from a rundown insane asylum and ¨The call¨ starring Halle Berry. Rating: 5.5/10. It's an acceptable film with tension, suspenseful, and violent scenes .
