It's pretty neat and has a couple plot twists that I'd mark down as remarkable, nothing groundbreaking but it is worth a watch if you're rather new to the horror genre. The acting is pretty good for the main cast with a few mediocre moments here and there with a couple moments where you could scream at the screen and say "don't do that, that's idiotic!" which is pretty much a staple in horror at this point. It will not rile you up this much if you're a horror veteran and you'll be leaving the theatre thinking the movie left some feelings to be desired. Nevertheless I'd say it's worth a watch as it does involve a few creative sparks here and there.

Shawnee Smith (SAW FRANCHISE) her role as a mother reminds people that mothers in horror films do appreciate their sons very much. The premise is intriguing, with the killer's identity and motivations revealed early on as well as the sister shows up, stripping away the mystery that could have propelled the narrative. While the performances, particularly by Taryn Manning as Sam Marrin and James Gaudioso as Connor Cole, are commendable, they're not enough to elevate the predictable plot. The film's pacing is inconsistent, with a setup that takes too long to unfold and a climax that, despite its potential for excitement, is marred by dim lighting that leaves viewers squinting rather than shrieking. The twist of focusing on male victims is a refreshing change from the genre's norms, but it feels like a missed opportunity to delve deeper into the characters' psyches. "Bloodline Killer" tries to pay homage to classics like "Halloween," but it falls short of delivering the suspense and terror of its predecessors. The script's lack of subtlety and the film's over-reliance on clichés make it a forgettable addition to the horror roster. Is a film that might appeal to die-hard fans of the genre looking for a casual watch, but it won't leave a lasting impression. It's a middle-of-the-road effort that neither fully disappoints nor excites.
