Blood Runs Cold (2011)

Truly Dreadful Film

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Okay...I've never made a review for this site before...but here goes. AND might I add that everyone is a critic. This movie was terrible...but the middle I was actually rooting for the killer.The $5000 movie budget means nothing to me as paranormal activity 1 was made with a budget close to this and has 4 titles in its sequence. There were sooooo many things that left me wondering WHY?! Like, WHY Didn't SHE CALL FOR HELP! There were 4 cell phones (2 visible) in the house that easily had emergency features.. whats the # for 911 again?...When you have a weapon..don't drop it...if fire stopped him once FINISH HIM! Empty the whole can on him! Like they say in in this atmosphere...if you see something strange POINT IT OUT. Don't cry and have Blaire Witch come out of your nose! When you were just stabbed in the foot, you can't run..limp fast, but not run...IDC about adrenaline. If you see BLOOD all over the floor downstairs...don't CLEAN IT UP! Call SOMEONE. If you see a killer eating your friend, go back to the house get Winona and LEAVE. I just can't...there were so many things they could have done to take care of these things to make it more believable or if anything, scary. So no, do not hire this director for future films.

holy cow. this will contain a lot of spoilers as i'm typing this as i'm watching it. and, yes, i'm too tired to care how this review comes out. what a waste of time. the only reason i gave this two stars is for the ex- boyfriend's kill scene. it was pretty good for the budget. killer blair witch snot scene also haha. question. when the main character wakes up and finds all her friends missing and blood all over the floor, why does she just clean it up like no big deal and go on with her day? the killers scream sounded like he was trying out for some lame screamo band. it was funny. oooooh boy. this acting is awful. i cannot wait for this thing to end. Oooo. i just remembered when they're all supposed to be driving back to the house and yet the background is staying still and then you see them pull up to the house. you couldn't even shake the car or push it to give it some movement? anything at all? annnnd now it's over. horrible. this seems like something bloody-disgusting will release. avoid. avoid. avoid.

If this film had have been done on a budget of $10m I would have gladly given it a solid 6 or 7 out of 10 but for the $5000 it took to make, it deserves a full 10 out of 10 plus. How on earth do you produce a film as good as this for so little cash? There's plenty of scares, some decent gore, an absolutely brilliant looking killer, seriously, they don't come much creepier than this one and the gore effects are top notch. It doesn't look cheap either, the camera work is fairly competent and looks far in excess of its meagre budget. The only quibble I'd have is with acting, which isn't the best if I'm honest but hey, for $5000 this is superb. I'd like to see what this director can do with a real budget. It was far better than some of the big budget dross that Hollywood churns out these days.

This is my first review on here, i have seen many films over the years and quite often find myself coming on here before making the final decision on whether to watch a specific movie or not. Over the years there have been some appalling movies that have been marked way above their station, so i think it's time i had my say.I watched this after seeing the couple of reviews on here, i sometimes wonder if i am watching the same film as previous reviewers, it was a reasonable effort, but even at 1hr 14mins it felt way too long and there was absolutely nothing new here, apart from the fact they tried to make it feel American for some reason.The effects on the death scenes were OK, but the added touch of cold breath on a couple of scenes looked out of place as the effect seemed almost HD in quality, but the movie was of a lower resolution, hope that makes sense. Watch the movie and you will see what i mean.2 stars may seem harsh, but i really felt as though i had wasted my time with this :(
