The characters do not behave like morons. The behavior of people quite sensible for the situation. There is nothing explicitly expressed here, there is a strange problem with the child and the mother who, according to her, does everything to keep her son alive without considering the consequences. For a B-grade cinema, this is quite an interestingly developed plot of supporting characters. The biggest drawback is probably that it's not very scary. On the plus side, there is a slight suggestion at the end of the film that maybe we didn't quite see the same thing as the main character, but I think it's more of an attempt by the medical services to justify the phenomenon in general. As for me 6/10, not great not terrible, I do not regret that I watched it but do i recommend it? I don't know.

Blood (2022) is a movie currently available on Hulu. The storyline follows a mother going through a divorce that moves into a family home in the country with her two children. One day her son is unexpectedly bitten by their dog and develops a strange blood condition...where he needs to eat/drink blood to stay healthy. The mother does her best to hide her sons condition while navigating her divorce and job...

This movie is directed by Brad Anderson (Session 9) and stars Michelle Monaghan (Gone Baby Gone), Skeet Ulrich (Scream), Finlay Wojtak-Hissong (Dreamkatcher), June B. Wilde (Final Destination 5) and Danika Frederick (I Still See You).

The storyline for this is well written and does a great job of establishing the family dynamics and circumstances. The cast is well selected and the acting is excellent. Everything felt authentic. However, the horror elements are under developed. The dog attack scene definitely wasn't a Cujo caliber sequence. They did do a good job depicting the son's evolution as his condition got worse. The horror was more around dealing with the circumstances over actual attacks and kills. The entire situation does feel relatable down to the final scene, which could have been better but was also fairly realistic.

Overall, this is an above average addition to the horror genre that I would score a 6/10 and recommend seeing once.

Here's The 4K Lowedown on "Blood" (NR - 2022 - Vudu) Genre: Horror/Vampire

My Score: 7.2 Cast=4 Acting=7 Plot=8 Ending=9 Story=8 Scare=6 Jump=7 F/X=6 Monster=8 Blood=7

A separated mother who is a nurse moves with her daughter and young son Owen back into her old farmhouse. Shortly after settling in, Owen is bitten by the dog, resulting in a mysterious infection from the bite.

"A mother would do anything for her child." This was pretty good...plays as more of a drama at first but then hits the deep end about halfway through. The foreshadowing was almost spelling the story out if you are paying attention. There is also a mid-credit scene to checkout that I liked. All in all, This was a decent watch for horror or thriller fans.
