Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
redrobin62-321-207311 So far, Blumhouse Films has done no wrong in my eyes. You can pretty much cover your eyes, point your finger to any one of their titles, and still come up a winner. "Family Blood," unfortunately, wasn't one of those.Yes, it's a vampire story. And, yes, there were variations to that mythos on display here. But that couldn't make up for the fact that the movie was a long, slow-burning chore with characters you don't really care about. At least the filmmakers didn't throw the whole AA/NA concept down your throat...that much.
Wizard-8 The basic idea behind this horror movie, that being making a parallel between drug addition with vampirism, isn't a new idea, but it hasn't been done before a great number of times. So I was willing to sit through this horror movie that uses this idea. Unfortunately, I thought that the end results for the most part were really weak. The complaint that other IMDb users have voiced repeatedly about this movie, that being that it moves very slowly, are unfortunately correct. The filmmakers were probably trying for a low key approach, which could have worked, but the movie goes too far trying to be slow and thoughtful. It becomes pretty tedious instead. Strangely, despite the very slow pace, there are a number of moments where it seems that footage (linking or entire scenes) are missing, giving the movie a feeling like that it wasn't finished and the editor had to do his best with the footage he had. This may explain why the concluding sequence (among others) is very unsatisfying and provokes questions instead of satisfying. I wasn't really bored with the movie despite its slow pace, and the entire enterprise has acceptable production values, but all the same, at the end I wished I had watched another horror movie.
frasco-92044 The premise is good, but this movie takes a long time to go nowhere. I fast forwarded and it was still too slow. Just people looking at each other in judgement after they do something awkward or weird happens. It is more of a sad drama than a horror movie.

She has struggled to stay sober in the past and is determined to make it work this time, finding a stable job and regularly attending her meetings. Family Blood can't make up what it wants to be it's split in the middle between drama and horror and it fails on both sides of the same coin. The acting was below average, the script was lame and there's even some shaky cam at times that made it impossible for me to understand who killed who. This was another generic and terrible horror flick. (0/10)
