BLEED

Bleed Movie Review

A group of friends go on a ghost hunting adventure in what remains of an old prison, finding ghosts are, indeed, very real. Every once in a while you will come across a film that seems to have one sole purpose—fit every horror cliche possible into the movie, and that is exactly what Bleed does here. Creepy kid? Check. City folk going to a backwoods town? Check. The people in said town being backwards zealots? Check. Young couple starting a new life together? Check. Stoner? Check. Bad CGI? Check. Somebody born with a curse and a marking to identify this? Check. My baby? Check. What this movie does different is...well, nothing really. Literally nothing new or remotely creative is done in this movie. Even one of the ghosts appears lifted, as it bears quite a resemblance to Rob Zombie’s Hellbilly Deluxe album cover.

"Dig through the ditches..."

The acting is rather mediocre—no awards will be given out for the performances, but none of it is terrible either. The directing is as bland as the rest of the film, the ending is uninspired, and the gore is nothing that will catch your eye. If you remember anything at all about Bleed a year after watching it, it will be a vague “What was that one movie that was like every other horror movie combined?” memory—you probably won’t even have that.
