An intense character study full of guilty-ravaged minds, Blood is less about the girl's murder starting it than how such a travesty affects our response.

| Original Score: B- | Jun 29, 2016

This bleak thriller about morality and guilt suffers from a muddled plot that lacks context for the troubled behavior of its characters.

Straightforward old school mental anguish combined with all the moodiness the Irish Sea can muster, a thoroughly professional crime thriller from start to finish.

While hardly reinventing the wheel, "Blood" works best as a tone poem, with unspoken passages detailing a hard life.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 8, 2013

Blood is just good enough to make me wish it was better. While occasionally effective, it is ultimately hindered by some incomplete storytelling.
