Bad Blood

Vincent, a successful American author, and Carrie, his besotted girlfriend, seem like they have a perfect existence together. But when Vincent starts receiving strange phone calls and a private investigator comes calling, Carrie learns that his ex-wife was viciously murdered and he’s still under suspicion. Vincent’s character may not be what he seems…

The premise of Bad Blood is intriguing, with plot twists coming at you in quick succession. There’s a constant creepy atmosphere that keeps you on edge from the start, and the sense of foreboding increases dramatically when the loving couple escapes for the weekend to the country.

Things take on a nightmarish quality at the country property, leaving you on the edge of your seat until the final thrilling conclusion.

This is a beautifully shot film, the camera work is stunning and the music enhances the atmosphere. An impressive Australian production with a strong plot.

★★★1/2
