Review of Bad Blood

Bad Blood (2021)
5/10
Interesting idea, bad implementation
13 December 2023
The movie is not about vampires, really, but about how society is confining us in boxes from which we are not allowed to get out. The main character is a social worker, gently and then forcefully pushed to go to counselling because a child in her care committed suicide, while the system did absolutely nothing to help him or help her help him. Everybody around is telling her how she should behave, what she should do, how her own cases are to be solved because "obvious" and so on. There is a scene where she visits a vampire house, one of those weird Goth kids playing fantasy roles and dressing up and she gets a "reality it's all in the mind" to which she replies "not to me, it's not".

That being said, the acting is bad or in the best case wooden, the budget is minimal to non existent and the plot drags on. I liked the idea underneath the bad production, though. It's just that it's only an idea and it never gets anywhere from there. I prefer a bad film with a good idea to a good film with no purpose, though.
