The landscape cinematography is often eye-pleasing, but the script is labored, filled with cliches and never allows for character development.

"Blood" may not be wholly original, but it is effective.
Tom Long, Detroit News
Rotten
Suffers from a crippling lack of back story and characters whose relationships are fraught with unexplained complexity.
Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times

"Blood" unfolds along familiar lines, but it works.
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Fresh
While hardly reinventing the wheel, "Blood" works best as a tone poem, with unspoken passages detailing a hard life.
Jordan Hoffman, New York Daily News
