After a week of settling back into the house, I was finally
able to kick back and watch some Netflix. After some internal debate, I decided
on the Independent horror / thriller The Bleeding House from 2011.
Plot/ A stranger with mysterious intentions comes to stay
the night at a secluded country home, but what he finds inside is a family torn
apart by a violent past and a secret more deadly than he expected.
This low-budget independent flick was far from
terrible, featuring a decent storyline, pretty good dialogue and just enough claustrophobic
atmospheres to keep me focused in (not to mention the draining of blood which
is always awesome). Sure, there were flaws. Some of the performances were uneven,
some of the characterization and storyline development seemed a bit odd and
some of the pacing crept along. Unfortunately, the potential was there, but the
cinematography just did not develop that potential for all that it was worth. In
the end, although I was entertained, I was glad that I caught this on Netflix
and did not run out and rent or buy it. If you are looking for an indie horror
on Netflix, you could do worse…
