Worst movie of the year, no contest


Blooded (2011)

I read the synopsis and thought this sounds like an interesting thriller. I'll just quote the full synopsis here. "In October 2005, five young people were kidnapped in the Highlands of Scotland. Stripped and abandoned in the the wilderness, they were forced into a deadly game where the hunters became the hunted. Their ordeal was filmed by an extreme animal rights group as a warning to others: if you hunt... you're fair game. Combining dramatic reconstruction and compelling interviews with the survivors, BLOODED finally tells the full story behind one of the most extreme internet virals of modern times." What I actually got was simply a horrible excuse of a movie. I had to split the viewing into two parts, even though it's only 80 minutes. After the first 30 minutes absolutely nothing had happened except for some weak effort of character building without characters. Had to stop it there, but next day I decided to finish it just in case it only had a bad start and would redeem itself in the end. No chance of that. First of all it's quite amateurishly made, bad acting, horrible scripting with very uninteresting characters and absolutely no sense of pacing. Second of all there is no thriller, not one bit. I mean which retard actually thinks that the viewer might get scared for the protagonist when you intercut the "hunt" with the protagonist casually talking about the events while it happens. Guess he didn't know that a movie actually needs to be thrilling in order for it to work as a thriller, having a guy run away from hunters with dramatic music while someone is constantly telling the viewer it will be ok is quite far from thrilling. I have no idea what the "statement" of this movie is, I mean it surely tries to tell us something, but the closest I can guess is that hunting foxes is bad, but hunting humans is worse. Well no shit Sherlock. Somebody give this guy the Nobel prize, we clearly have the next philosophical genious amongst us! Idiotic pointless waste of time garbage with highly misleading marketing. I want my 4 euros back and more importantly I want my 80 minutes back.

Haha great review! I read a review of this from the Telegraph and it too said it's idiotic. Won't waste my money on it. Thanks for this!
