The DVD cover for this movie is baffling -- there is no floating ghostly little girl to be found in the movie. And the movie isn't much of a horror movie, either. It's much more of a psychological drama about a troubled family (not including a little girl, by the way) whose move to a country estate triggers a bunch of previously pent-up animosities. There's some discussion of the supernatural and a murder committed at the instigation of the husband's ancestor, but any payoff for that angle is definitely lacking. Not a bad movie, some beautiful scenery, but you won't get your horror movie fix from this one.

A quietly chilling and ultimately devastating portrayal of a family's descent into horror. Those looking for a fast-paced, gore-soaked thriller will not find those qualities in "Bad Blood" - instead you'll find a carefully mounted drama which draws its terror from delicately written characters and the questions we all ask about the otherworldly.

The previous review mentions much of what I would say, except that it becomes clear with about 40 mins ( and that is still a lot of time )left that this movie is totally lost. You hold on for a intelligent resolution that could have happened but is a mess. That leaves only that this is a misleading and quite bad movie on all counts. There's even mention of werewolves without any story reasoning. Worse a brother sister rape, and late needless swearing that only adds to the sadness of this broken story. Buy, no. Rent, you could do worse but you will be throwing away money.
