Bleed (I) (2016)
4/10
How did this get a cinematic release? It looks direct-to-DVD
8 April 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Mediocre, gory, and featuring a screenplay which is all over the place, this tells a tale of a young, expectant couple, their bonehead brother and his girlfriend, and another couple who all go searching the woods near their new home, in search of an old, abandoned prison, supposedly haunted.

The first 45 minutes were decent enough, with some occasionally inspired camera work, and medium-acting skills on display, but after that, the filmmakers didn't know where to go with it, and the film becomes a series of filmed events, without a story to progress, and then the writers, began going down any clichéd path possible, but yet they never get anywhere, and there is no resolution to anything: black guy is the first to die, Charles Manson lookalike, hallucinations which may or may not be real, some sort of hillbilly cult in the woods who want the unborn child for unexplained reasons, then, what is possibly the second most over-used twist ending, they all die, for reasons which, again, are never explained.

Without the barely legible closing credits, this film clocks in at about an hour and ten minutes.
