Review of The Blood Lands

I don't even really know where to start with this one. I was tempted to switch it off after the first ten minutes but persevered with it. Firstly neither of the two main characters are likeable in any way, between the husband's constant sniping about Scotland and the wife's inherent lack of being able to function as a human being. Within the first half an hour I really didn't care if either of them lived or died. Then we get to the chase scenes, which felt like an age of not much happening. Though the one good part was the woman's attack on one of the intruders where she was successful, unlike many horror characters prior to her, in hitting the guy more than once so that he would not get up again. I'm going to then skip straight to the good part, what we were all waiting for, the reason why these masked intruders were victimising this couple. Prepare to be disappointed, they wanted the house and then subsequently moved in straight away. They also appear to have dropped the two of them off back in London... I can imagine the police investigation will be one of the quickest in history. All in all, a really terrible and pointless film, I wouldn't waste your time on it.
