True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
So far, Blumhouse Films has done no wrong in my eyes. You can pretty much cover your eyes, point your finger to any one of their titles, and still come up a winner. "Family Blood," unfortunately, wasn't one of those.Yes, it's a vampire story. And, yes, there were variations to that mythos on display here. But that couldn't make up for the fact that the movie was a long, slow-burning chore with characters you don't really care about. At least the filmmakers didn't throw the whole AA/NA concept down your throat...that much.
What a good idea. What a poor production. Brilliant child and teen actors, 10/10. There were moments, but only from the actors under 22. The rest, meh. Best use of 12 step scenarios still goes to Fight Club.
The film opens with Richard, the vampire, snuffing his family. We then switch to Eleanor/Ellie (Vinessa Shaw) who is a recovering addict. She has two teen children. Christopher (James Ransone) takes pity on Ellie and turns her. Her children, we come to find out, has issue with vampires that want to drink their blood. The film moves slow and keeps the horror and gore to a minimum with a lot of action taken off screen. Ellie was never that likable, nor did we get to pity her or identify with her in any way that we could root for her. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
This is one of the most terrible movies i have ever seen in my life, poor story telling in a very slow tempo. Really don't waste your time, you have been warned!
