How sad is this?
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
I've seen this movie hanging out on my Netflicks account for quite some time. Feeling the to urge watch something horrific my husband and i finally checked it out. What Jolly Dark Film. The Bleeding House is one of those films that will get you thinking about the sick people that our live among us in this scary world. The acting wasn't thee greatest but not horrible either. It was a nice little surprise. There's not to many thrillers that are made to scare you without giving the viewers a in your face pointless sex scene.Genuine creepy film. Dark and disturbing,this film was original and that will leave you thinking. Watch it ;)
A strange thing happened to me with this movie: I was thoroughly involved the whole time, and when it ended I was like "wow". But only a few moments later I started remembering the clichéd and unbelievable situations, the bland characters, the story that goes nowhere, the ending without a payoff, the lack of mood or anything vaguely scary and the terrible dialogue. Why the heck did I like this movie while I was watching? I guess is that because my imagination just ran wild. The "secret" is so predictable - like other reviewers pointed out - that I thought it was *not* the secret, and that there would be something else. Basically, I was expecting Gloria to be a vampire, or Nick to have been sent by the devil, or some big conspiracy involving the whole town to be disclosed. Since I was pretty much the only one who expected those things, I guess it is not a spoiler to say that none of that came to happen.Hence my post-movie disappointment. That is basically the problem with "The Bleeding House": Gloria does not turn out to be a vampire.
It amazes me that a good deal of the horror watching public passed this movie over or looked at the characters as hollow or awkward. That is what this movie was all about, strained relationships, pulled emotions, and people behaving like they do in a normal family. Their relationships are petty, full of kind of masked grief, and longing each of the characters looking for a way out of themselves and out of where they are. The visitor they invite into their home, although he turns out to be their downfall, is exactly what they are looking for, someone to just talk to. Each of the members of the house in turn try to talk with this newcomer, and each time a little more of the story unfolds. It is a beautifully shot movie as well, wide panning shots around the small family table, the hallway up the stairs being narrow and tall. Even the doorways and the rooms only slightly decorated, as though they were planning to leave at a moments notice, or had only been there for a few months. This claustrophobia builds as the movie progresses, and becomes ever more intimate until the end. That building sense of dread is the hardest thing to capture in a horror movie, and this one does beautifully. We as viewers know what is coming, we know the outsider is either in for a shock or going to cause one, but it is the anticipation of such an event that drives us to keep watching. I loved watching this movie with its subtlety and poise, keeping you on the edge with the back story being slowly revealed and the veil lifted a little bit minuet by minuet.
This film would actually make a very good film school project. It is by no means a professional production. The story though is good, solid, and climaxes great. It is written much better than the big budget Hollywood productions we see nowadays. The actors are above decent, the dialogues and plot are well written, and the characters are strong (except for the brother and girlfriend). Of course due to the amateurish feel of the film, when it comes to music, camera and lights, we go way below average. Special effects are not even worth mentioning as they are nonexistent. In general, this is not a film that I think will ever be on the big screen, but it is fine to watch on the TV if there is nothing better on. The unfair thing is that if the serial killer was played by a big shot actor and there were actually some money to be spent for music, photography and special effect, this would actually be a blockbuster !!! Unfortunate indeed.
