Family Blood (2018)
4/10
Lost Between Drama and Horror
8 May 2018
Warning: Spoilers
The drug addicted Ellie (Vinessa Shaw) is trying to stay clean, attending meetings of a support group for persons who are struggling with drug addiction. She has just recovered the custody of her teenage son Kyle (Colin Ford) and daughter Amy (Eloise Lushina) and moved to a new city with a job got by a professor friend of her. However her second chance in life is affected by her addiction and Ellie uses pills again in a lonely park during the night. But her new acquaintance in the group Christopher (James Ransone) is indeed a vampire and he decides to turn Ellie into one to save her from the drugs. Soon Kyle and Amy see the change of behavior of their mother while Ellie discovers that she is a vampire. What will happen to Ellie and her children?

"Family Blood" is a film lost between drama and horror; consequently does not work well. The beginning of the screenplay is a complete mess and the characters are not well developed. Cristopher´s motive to turn Ellie into a vampire is poor and unconvincing. The gore conclusion is terrible. My vote is four.

Title (Brazil): Not Available
