I must say that I saw this 2016 movie's cover and that definitely caught my attention. And the movie's synopsis founded fairly interesting enough, so of course I found the time to sit down to watch "Blood Hunters" (aka "One Drop") from writer Corey Brown and director Tricia Lee.
But this wasn't an overly impressive horror movie, not even by a longshot. Perhaps I am just too seasoned in terms of horror movies, but I found "Blood Hunters" to be rather mundane, slow paced and somewhat bland.
It was a combination of a storyline that was rather devoid of interesting events and an equally pointless character gallery that ultimately sank the movie for me. I mean, I didn't really buy into the storyline and found it difficult to actually take it seriously. And little did it help that the characters were about as interesting as faceless mannequins with no personalities or character traits.
The acting in the movie was fair enough, especially when taking into consideration that the actors and actresses virtually had nothing to work with here. It was nice, though, to see Julian Richings in the movie.
Sure, if you are a newcomer to the horror genre, then I suppose that there will be some enjoyment and entertainment to be found in the 2016 movie "Blood Hunters". But if you have seen a fair share of horror movies, then you might just want to skip on this particular movie.
The creature effects in the movie were rather lame. It was painstakingly obvious that it was just guys running around in pretty badly made rubber suits. Sure, the concept of the creatures were interesting enough, but the props just killed it - and not in a good way. The creatures were such a disappointment, especially after having seen that interesting-looking one of the movie's cover.
"Blood Hunters" is not a movie that I would recommend that you waste your time, money or effort on. My rating of director Tricia Lee's 2016 movie lands on a generous three out of ten stars.
