It is funny; these time changes are really a pain in the
butt. I swear, I have struggled all day with the time change, and feel
exhausted. Luckily, for me, it has been a relaxing evening watching Genesis in
her first performance with the VFW Band, as they played a veterans ceremony at
the local Masonic Lodge. As a veteran, it was a proud moment watching my extremely
talented daughter play such patriotic music. Now I am home and jumping back
into the blog with the 2012 flick Bloodworx (AKA Bloodwork).
Plot/ Best friends Greg and Rob, college roommates, decide
to earn a little extra cash by participating in a two-week pharmaceutical test
over the Christmas holidays. Locked into a remote hospital facility far out in
the isolated countryside, they find themselves part of a bizarre series of
tests and question whether they will survive.
It is amazing how many of these government experiment gone
awry flicks come out and follow a detailed outline. Honestly, it is like
listening to Democrats on Sunday talk shows. While that is again the case with
this one (especially toward the end of the film), there are some interesting
moments early on and lasting toward the middle of the film. This one is at
least entertaining, with decent acting, and it does have a few spots of
originality shine through prior to the cliché moments taking control. On a down
side, the scripting is uneven and the predictable moments at the end make it
impossible for the flick to reach its potential. In the end, more of a thriller
than horror flick, this one is hard to place. Yes, there are some entertaining
spots that make it worthwhile, but the cliché moments tend to bring it down. Do
not run out and buy it, but if you catch it late on a Saturday evening, feel
free to give it a shot.
