This is a delightful movie to smooth your troubled waters. Perfectly cast, it unfolds in unhurried pace under the guidance of America Young. Quirky characters, retro touches and wistful nostalgia decorate the film. No blasting special effects here, just whimsical touches and the assurance that somehow things will, improbably, work out.

Blood Conscious

Engaging and thought provoking
7 September 2021
I'm not usually a thriller/horror fan, but I thought this simple indie flick was awesome. The quiet, classic setting, the small but excellent cast, some well-timed jump-scares and a great soundtrack combined to provide a synergistic delight - much better than the sum of its parts. Reflecting after watching, I found there had also been some deeper themes. How had race played out, and male/female roles? How had paranoia unfolded, as the players (and the viewers) sought to identify and label the "good" and "evil" characters? And why did I so yearn for a clear, clean ending in a movie where those values were so scarce? Hats off to these indie filmmakers - keep it coming.
