Blood brothers (A. K. A The Divine Tragedies) is a horror, drama, thriller film directed by Jose Prendes. The film stars Graham Denman, Jon Kondelik, Hannah Levien, Ken Foree and Barbara Crampton.

One of the terrible films i have seen, the film is based on the story of two brothers Charles Brubaker and his half-brother, Thomas Lo Bianco, who thinks themselves as super intelligent and to test their superior intelligence they concoct a deadly game. This game will eventually lead to murder and when a beautiful single mother named Genevieve enters their lives, they believe they've finally found the perfect girl for their first kill however problems arise when they discover that Detective Homer Gaul, a cop with a very special gift, is hot on their trail.

Now the plot of the film is interesting but the execution is mediocre. The screenplay of the film is a big let down which hold the film reaching to the level of its capabilities. The climax of the film is predictable

The acting in the film is also lackluster and none of the character showed the intent to play their role with seriousness. The special effects is good and Back Ground Music is average.

Overall Blood brothers is a missed opportunity due to mediocre and lackluster approach.

I watch alot of b rated and indie films I liked this film it had alot of good scenes and liked how it turned out to be different then i thought love the characters i dont want to spoil for anyone else i showed my daughter and she liked it to and watched it again, love dark horror films like this!!

'BLOOD BROTHERS': Three and a Half Stars (Out of Five)

The new low-budget psychological horror film, from writer/director Jose Prendes. The story is loosely based on the notorious Leopold and Loeb murder case, from 1924. It revolves around two wealthy brothers, that devise a psychotic plan of murder; in order to prove their superiority, and satisfy their insane urges. When the brothers finally go through with their plan, it causes serious troubles in their relationship. The movie stars Graham Denman and Jon Kondelik (who have both worked with the director before); and it costars Hannah Levien, Barbara Crampton and Ken Foree. It's definitely an ambitious film, and it has some pretty memorable scenes, but it's also obviously held back by it's minimal budget.

Charles Brubaker (Denman) and Thomas Lo Bianco (Kondelik) are half- brothers; that come from a rich family, and are well educated. They believe they're superior, to most others, because of it. They also suffer from severe psychological problems, including fantasies of murder, and they've been abused all their lives by their sadistic mother (Crampton). They've finally decided to carry through with a devious plot, and feed their psychotic desires, but things don't go exactly as they had planned. Foree plays a detective, with special abilities, that's investigating the duo.

The film feels pretty amateurish at times, but it's also pretty effective; in a disturbing B-horror movie way. The performances are decent, and the script has a lot of good ideas. It's definitely not memorable enough to ever be thought of as a cult classic, or a superior quality slasher flick (in any way); but it's also definitely better than a lot of other genre films, with a similar budget. I think it's worth watching, at the very least.
