DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS. this is so boring and slow that I had to watch it 2.0x speed to make faster. Saw a post of hat one asian woman who always talks about horror recommendations and clearly I was clicked bait, I had listen her recommendations ONCE (before this) and it was good but idk..... maybe I expected too much. (funny how she said "at first it was boring" blah blah i should've listen to that TvT)

Shudder has been a real bummer lately with some of these movies that aren't really horror as much as they're just some terrible Lifetime drama with horror elements mixed in. This kid is a vampire. His siblings kill to get him blood. Zzzzzzzzzzzz.

Decent acting, trippy story, but just really kinda sad. There were sympathetic characters and makes you wonder: How far would you go to save someone you love?? Worth a 1 time watch if you like this genre.

There is nothing original here as everyone claims. Its predictable, transparent and completely pointless to watch after the first 3 minutes. They kill to feed their brother blood. Wow! That has never been done before said no one ever.

I really dug this film. As someone with plenty of family burdens I found the characters super relatable and the acting consistently engaging. The aesthetic is moody and nostalgic, the cinematography is gorgeous, and the direction is spot-on. A worthwhile story told with style and depth.

Start with overhead view of car on road - almost always a sign of cheap forthcoming. Three siblings one of whom is frail to the point of near death. Never explained why the frail one is a vampire (i.e. Needs human blood; avoids sunlight). Duh, ever hear of a blood bank or hospital storage? Why not pig whose blood is nearly identical? Why live in sunny Salt Lake? Most screen time is within the house, and every so often a victim is brought in to be drained. A poor job of that as it seems they only get a quart or so. Film cheaply only shows a poor cosmetically made up post death victim. One near victim escapes; inexplicably comes back. Cheap ending.

This movie is incredibly boring and gross. To be honest I watched the first 50 minutes (I believe it's a proof of endurance) and, since I was bored to death up till then, I gave it up. Not worth your time, much less your money. This is one of those examples of bad movies that, for some reason (lobbying, networking) get way too high ratings that are not deserved. It's a low budget, slow movie, lacking any plot or element that might get you to relate to or keep you entartained. The actors look and act like they were highly sedated before undertaking their jobs.

I would say it's one of special vampire movie. Quite didn't get to the point til 2nd half and the name of movie is confusing to audience. Turn out is a surprise.

My fiancé and I watched this on a whim after watching the preview. We really feel that a lot of these negative reviews are coming from people who more appreciate the common horror tropes such as fast paced plots, over the top gore, and fast paced plot driven dialog.. Definitely a movie that doesn't spoon feed or shove plot down your throat. It makes you think and relies on the viewer putting themselves in the characters shoes, and in such is very subtle and artistic. Major props to AAALLLLLLL of the actors/actresses. They did a great job while still being subtle and not over the top as with most major motion pictures these days. Owen Campbell was especially delightful in his ability to actually portray someone who is heart breakingly dependant on his family, displays a child like innocence... yet at the end... is simply a tragic character. Keep up the good work sir!! Shame on you all who rated this diamond in the rough low. Also props to the director. Showing juuuust enough... but not so much as to be vulgar or obscene in any horror movie genre cliches. The cinematography/shots were very well done and the plot/writing was juuusssstttt right for the feel of the film and the subject matter. Overall this was an excellent movie that was subtle and thoughtful, yet emotional and thought provoking. Do yourself a favor... just watch it.
